Circulation Flashcards
What is the shape of the White blood cell
The White blood cell is round
What is the shape of the Red blood cell
The Red Blood cell looks like a crushed circle
What are the 2 circulation systems?
- Systemic circulation- Heart -> body
- Pulmonary circulation- Heart -> lungs
What are the 3 layers of a Blood cell
- Tunica Intima- inner layer
- Tunica Media- Middle layer
- Tunica adventita- outer layer
What is the Tunica intima layer
The Tunica Intima layer in the inner layer
What is the Tunica Media layer
The Tunica Media is the Middle layer
What is the Tunica Adventitia
The Tunica Adventitia is the outer layer
Where does the Systemic circulation bring the blood
The Systemic circulation brings blood from heart to the body
Where does the Pulmonary circulation bring the blood
The Pulmonary circulation brings blood from the heart to the lungs
What is the pathway for Oxygenated blood
Oxygenated blood
Lungs-> Heart-> Pulmonary veins-> Left Atrium-> Left Ventricle-> Aorta-> body
What is the pathway for Deoxygenated blood
deoxygenated blood
Superior vena cava-> Right Atrium-> Right Ventricle-> Pulmonary Artery-> Lungs
what is the largest Vein and the largest Artery
The largest Vein is the Superior Vena Cava, the largest Artery is the Aorta
What are the properties of Arteries
The arteries receive blood from the ventricles and passes it to the capillaries.
No valves and thick Tunica media, o2 rich, 3 layers, and high Blood Pressure
What are the properties of Capillaries
Capillaries transport blood throughout the body to all living cells.
Consists of only on thin layer of Endothelium and narrow lumen, 1 thin layer and low Blood Pressure
What are the properties of
Veins transport deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
Valves prevent backflow, o2 poor, 3 layers, low Blood Pressure, and valves
