plasma
the liquid part of blood
in animals with circulatory systems, the two types of fluids are
hemolymph and blood
left and right ventricles of the heart both
pump blood away from the heart
human heart chambers in order of how blood would travel through them, beginning with the chamber that receives venae cavae at the top
right artium, right ventricle, left artium, left ventricle
antigen
a molecule that can trigger a specific (adaptive) immune response
where is the human heart
behind the sternum, between lungs, and thoracic cavity
auricle
in each artium, has a wrinkled, protruding appendage
the heart has two of these
2 artria and 2 ventricles
2 functions of blood
regulating body temp, transporting gases, nutrients, and combat pathogens
what is the circulatory systmem
consists of blood vessels and a heart that circulates nutrients and oxygen through the body
what can cause hypertension (high blood pressure)
obesity, smoking, atherscleosis
ventricles
chambers where blood is being pumped into arteries
there are 2: left and right
the main force that moves blood through human arteries is
the pumping of the heart
the movement of fluid through a capillary is mainly dependent on which forces
blood pressure and osmotic pressure
basophil
