25
are located between the atria and ventricles to prevent the backflow of blood from the atria or the ventricles
VALVES
26
tricuspid valve
Atrioventricular valves
27
entrance valves which is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle
Atrioventricular valves
28
mitral valve
Bicuspid valve
29
is found between the left atrium and the left ventricle
Bicuspid valve
30
is the exit valves
Semilunar valve
31
The pumping motion of the heart causes
heartbeat
32
a sound that is usually described as “lub-dub”
heartbeat
33
is created when the valves between the atrium and the ventricle close
LUB
34
is produced after the closing of the valves between the ventricles and the arteries that lead to the lungs and the rest of the body
DUB
35
Blood flows in a closed circuit through tubes called
blood vessels
36
carry blood away from the heart and into the capillaries that connect to the tissues
ARTERIES
37
ARTERIES they contain oxygenated blood except for the
pulmonary arteries
38
the largest artery is called
AORTA
39
the smallest subdivisions of the arteries are called
ARTERIOLES
40
are blood vessels responsible for carrying blood back to the heart
VEINS
41
VEINS contain deoxygenated blood except for the
pulmonary veins
42
the smallest veins are called
VENULES
43
the finest and smallest of the three types of blood vessels
CAPILLARIES
44
facilitates the exchange of materials between the blood and body cells or between the blood and the lung tissues
CAPILLARIES
45
The right side pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through
PULMONARY CIRCUIT
46
the pathway of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart
PULMONARY CIRCUIT
47
a double pump in one organ
human heart
48
left side receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs then circulated to the rest of the body through
SYSTEMIC CIRCUIT
49
pathway of the blood from the heart to all parts of the body
SYSTEMIC CIRCUIT
50
This is almost a buzz word as may are becoming, conscious of their health nowadays
BLOOD PRESSURE
51
When blood is forced into the arteries due to ventricular contraction, it exerts pressure on the walls of the blood vessels
BLOOD PRESSURE
52
tells you how much pressure is exerted when your heart contracts and blood flows in the arteries
Systolic Pressure
53
tells you how much pressure is exerted when the heart relaxes
Diastolic Pressure
54
the normal blood pressure in a healthy adult is below
120 systolic BP and below 80 diastolic BP
55
which means that the blood is pushing on the artery walls with a pressure of below 120 mm Hg, as the heart contracts and below 80 mm Hg as the heart relaxes.
120 systolic BP and below 80 diastolic BP
56
is the internal circulating medium of the body that gives life to the cells
BLOOD
57
transports raw materials to cells, removes waste from cells and bring metabolic waste to the specific excretory organs of the body to avoid the build up of toxic materials
BLOOD
58
it accounts for about 7% to 8% of the total body weight
BLOOD
59
Blood is a specialized connective tissue with more than
4000 different components
60
55% of blood volume is ------- which is the liquid part of the blood
BLOOD PLASMA
61
90% of plasma
water
62
10% of plasma
protein
63
found in plasma also some nutrients and substances such as
GLUCOSE, FATS, AMINO ACIDS, ELECTROLYTES, VITAMINS, METABOLIC WASTE, HORMONES
64
most abundant plasma protein in the blood
ALBUMIN
65
Maintain osmotic pressure of the blood to regulate blood flow
ALBUMIN
66
are switched on in a certain sequence clotting cascade when a blood vessel is damaged
CLOTTING FACTORS
67
help fight infections
ANTIBODIES
68
ERYTHROCYTES
RED BLOOD CELLS
69
are tiny, concave and disc-shaped cells
RED BLOOD CELLS
70
the ability of RBCs to carry oxygen is due to
hemoglobin
71
an iron containing protein, which give blood its color
hemoglobin
72
They live for about 20 to 120 days
RED BLOOD CELLS
73
LEUKOCYTES
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
74
are round cells with prominent nuclei of varying size and shapes
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
75
Responsible primarily for depending the body against infections
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
76
circulate for only 6 to 8 hours
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
77
WHITE BLOOD CELLS categorized into
GRANULAR LEUKOCYTES AGRANULAR LEUKOCYTES
78
active in fighting infections due to bacteria, fungi and other foreign debris
NEUTROPHILS
79
kill parasites, destroy cancer cells, involved in allergic response
EOSINOPHILS
80
participate in allergic responses
BASOPHILS
81
GRANULAR LEUKOCYTES
BASOPHILS ,EOSINOPHILS, EOSINOPHILS
82
active in providing immunity
LYMPHOCYTES
83
function as phagocytes by ingesting dead or damaged cells.
MONOCYTES
84
LYMPHOCYTES
B-LYMPHOCYTES, NATURAL KILLER CELLS, T-LYMPHOCYTES
85
help defend the body against many infectious organisms
MONOCYTES
86
THROMBOCYTES
PLATELETS
87
are not cells in themselves but are fragments of cells
PLATELETS
88
Responsible for clotting process by clumping together to form a plug that helps seal a blood vessel at a bleeding site
PLATELETS
89
manufacture in the red bone marrow
PLATELETS
90
if platelets are too low, a condition
thrombocytopenia
91
wherein their will be abnormal bleeding
thrombocytopenia
92
if platelets are too high, a condition
thrombocythemia
93
will occur wherein the blood may clot excessively, causing stroke or heart attack
thrombocythemia
94
Is the disease associated of the arteries that is associated with cholesterol buildup called plaque inside the walls of the arteries
ATHEROSCLEROSIS
95
The blockage narrow the diameter of the arteries and impedes the blood flow
ATHEROSCLEROSIS
96
Is a disorder that results from the blockage brought by the hardening of the arteries in the brain or in neck vessels leading to the brain
STROKE
97
The blockage narrow the diameter of the arteries and impedes the blood flow
STROKE
98
The inability of the blood to reach the coronary arteries of the heart
CORONARY HEART DISEASE
99
Results from the tightening of the arterioles, the smallest arteries of the body
HYPERTENSIVE HEART DISEASE
100
The blood does not clot properly. Bleeding thus persists
HEMOPHILIA
101
Is a condition wherein the red blood cell count stays persistently low
ANEMIA
102
This situation will affect a red blood cells to carry its full share of oxygen to the body’s tissues
ANEMIA
103
Is a disorder characterized by an abnormal increase in the number of white blood cells
