Circulatory, respiratory, musucloskeletal (Final) Flashcards
Pulse
ventricles contracts, artery walls bulge and spring back
distribution of blood is
adjusted by altering the diameter of arterioles
Capillary
cylinder of endothelial cells, exchanges between blood and interstitial fluid
Blood flows from capillaries
flow into venues (tiny views) which empty into veins which allows exchange of oxygen
veins have flaplike valves to
prevent backflow
blood pressure
exerted by blood on the walls of blood vessels
120/80
Systolic pressure
highest pressure of a cardiac cycle occurs as contracting ventricles of the heart force blood into arteries
Diastolic pressure
the lowest blood pressure of a cardiac cycle, occurs when ventricles of the heart are relaxed
hypertension
high blood pressure
slow flow through capillaries enhances the rate of exchanges between
the blood and interstitial fluid
Lymph vascular system
consists of lymph capillaries and vessels that collect water and solutes from interstitial fluid and deliver them to the circulatory system
Lymph
fluid that moves through vessels
Circulatory sytem
distributes materials throughout the vertebrate body
Open circulatory system
heart pumps hemolymph
closed circulatory system
heart pumps blood
Fish heart chambers
1 atrium, 1 ventricle
Amphibians heart chambers
2 atria, 1 ventricle
Birds and mammals chambers
2 atria, 2 ventricles
Pulmonary circuit
blood flows from right half of heart to lungs to gain oxygen
systemic circuit
blood flows from left heat to body to lose oxygen then back to right (pulmonary circuit)
(aorta)
Arteries
carry blood from ventricles to arterioles
arterioles
control blood distribution to capillaries
capillaries
exchange substances
venules
collect blood from capillaries
veins
deliver blood back to heart
