Circulatory System Flashcards

1
Q

What is the role of the circulatory system?

A
  • Provide cells in the body with oxygen and nutrients
  • Remove the cells wastes like toxins and co2 carbon dioxide

SM AP TXT BK

  • All cells in the body need to have oxygen and nutrients, and they need their wastesremoved. These are the main roles of the circulatory system.
  • The heart, blood and blood vessels work together to service the cells of the body. Using the network of
    arteries, veins and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen. From the small intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients anddelivers them to every cell.

Q

What does the right side of the heart do?
(upper right chamber (Atrium)
(lower right chamber(Ventricle)

A
  • the upper chamber takes in deoxygenated blood w/co2 CD
  • squeezes it to the lower chamber (ventricle)
  • artery to lungs takes co2 and replaces it with oxygen

SM AP TXT BK

The right side of the heart; The right upper chamber (atrium) takes in deoxygenated blood that is loaded with carbon dioxide. The blood is squeezed down into the right lower chamber (ventricle) and taken by an artery to the lungs where the carbon dioxide
is replaced with oxygen.

Q

Ateries are muscular, T or F?

A

True

SM AP TXT BK

  • Arteries; Oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart along arteries, which are muscular. Arteries divide like tree branches until they are slender. The largest artery is the aorta, which connects to the heart and picks up oxygenated blood from the left ventricle. The only artery that picks up deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery, which runs between the heart and lungs.

Q

What are Capillaries?

A
  • the smallest blood vessels

SM AP TXT BK

Capillaries; The arteries eventually divide down into the smallest blood vessel, the
capillary.

-Capillaries are so small that blood cells can only move through them one at
a time. Oxygen and food nutrients pass from these capillaries to the cells.

-Capillaries are also connected to veins, so wastes from the cells can be transferred to the blood.

Q

Veins have one way valves instead of muscles to stop the blood running back the wrong way, T/F?

A

TRUE

SM AP TXT BK

  • Veins have one-way valves instead of muscles, to stop blood from running back the wrong way. Generally, veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart,where it can be sent to the lungs.
  • The exception is the network of pulmonary veins,
    which take oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart

31
Q

What does the heart do?

A

HEART -

Pumps blood around body.
Sits inside the chest, in front of the lungs, slightly to left side.
Is a double pump made up of four chambers (RT Up/Low & LFT Up/Low)
Blood flows in one direction due to heart valves.
The contractions of the chambers make the sound of heartbeats.

32

ARTERIES carrying blood AWAY FROM HEART
VEINS carrying blood back TO HEART

35
Q

carbon dioxide and oxygen both pass through the heart

A

Using the network of:
-arteries, veins and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation)
and picks up oxygen.
- From the small intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients and delivers them to every cell.

36

37
Q

Which Blood Vessels do what?
To/From

A

Arteries = Blood vessels take O2&Nutrients TO the body/Away from heart

Veins = Blood vessels take Co2&Waste FROM the body/TO Heart

Arteries (in red) are the blood vessels that deliver blood to the body. Veins (in blue) are the blood vessels that return blood to the heart.30 Apr 2019

Q

VIDEO RECAP JUST READ

A
  • Heart is pumping blood
  • Blood vessels carrying blood
  • Blood is either rich with nutrients and oxygen
    OR
  • Carbon dioxide and waste
  • Transport these things so that every cell is either GETTING what it needs or getting RID of rubbish.
  • Arteries = Blood vessels take O2&Nutrients TO the body/Away from heart.
  • Veins = Blood vessels take Co2&Waste FROM the body/TO Heart.

Arteries - thick smooth muscles/autonomic/away from heart

Veins - thinner/trap doors/valves/rely on our movement and skeletal muscles to help move blood/blood back to heart

Capillaries – 1 cell thick, tiny/oxygen diffuse from cell AND carbon dioxide can diffuse back into the bloodstream

Q

The word pulmonary means?

A

The word pulmonary means “pertaining to the lungs.” It is derived from the Latin root word pulmo, which means lung. If someone has pulmonary disease, this means they have a lung disease

43
Q

Which side of the heart pumps what?

A

LFT - pumps oxygenated blood to organs

RT - pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs

The heart

The heart is a unidirectional pump.

Valves are present to prevent the backflow of blood.

The right side pumps deoxygenated blood (low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide) to the lungs.

The left side pumps oxygenated blood (high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide) to the organs of the body.

44
Q

45
Q

Explain Circulation Process GOOGLE

A

Google:

Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the vena cava.

Blood moves into right ventricle.

Blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery.

The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

The blood becomes oxygenated in the lungs.

Oxygenated blood leaves the lung via the pulmonary vein.

Blood enters the left atrium.

Blood moves into the left ventricle.

Blood is pumped into the aorta, which carries oxygenated blood around the body.

This means blood travels through the heart twice in one circulation of the body.
