circulatory system Flashcards
are small, colorless cell fragments in our blood that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding.
platelets/thrombocytes
is the liquid component of your blood that contributes to 55% of your blood’s total volume and is necessary to help your body recover from injury, distribute nutrients, remove waste and prevent infection
plasma
Contains Oxygen & Nutrients Bright red Found in arteries
H/L to body
oxygenated blood
Contains Carbon dioxide & Waste
Dark red
Found in veins
Body to H/L
deoxygenated blood
is to deliver blood to the organs and tissues in your body.
blood vessels
carry blood from the rest of the body back towards the heart
veins
carry blood away from the heart towards the rest of the body
arteries
are the smallest blood vessels that move blood to and from the cells of the body
capillaries
pump blood throughout the body
heart
(receive incoming blood)
upper chamber
prevent the backward flow of blood.
valves
Separates the right ventricle from
the pulmonary artery.
pulmonary valve
Separates the top right chamber (right atrium) from the bottom
Tricuspid valve
Separates the left ventricle from the
aorta.
aortic valve
Separates the top left chamber (left atrium) from the bottom left chamber (left ventricle).
mitral valve
connects your left ventricle and aorta (large artery that carries blood throughout your body).
aortic valve
connects your left atrium and left ventricle.
mitral valve
connects your right ventricle
and pulmonary arteries (arteries that carry blood to your
lungs).
pulmonary valve
connects your right atrium and right ventricle
tricuspid valve
carry O2 from the lungs to the body tissues and CO2 (waste) away from the tissues and back to the lungs.
rbc/erythrocytes
areresponsible for protecting your body from infection. As part of your immune system, white blood cells circulate in your blood and respond to injury or illness.
wbc/leukocytes
are tiny, thin blood vessels that connect veins and arteries.
capillaries
a hollow muscle, which is as big as your fist.
heart
maintain adequate blood pressure throughout the body and controls heart rate
heart
connects your left ventricle andaorta(large artery that carries blood throughout your body).
aortic valve
connects your left atrium and left ventricle.
mitral valve
connects your right ventricle andpulmonary arteries(arteries that carry blood to your lungs).
pulmonary valve
connects your right atrium and right ventricle
tricuspid valve
pump the blood out of the hear
lower chamber
This part of the cycle carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and back to the heart
pulmonary circulatory
This is the part that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart and to other parts of the body.
systematic circulation
This type of circulation provides the heart with oxygenated blood so it can function properly
coronary circulation
the movement of the blood, throughout the tissue of the heart
coronary circulation
the movement of the blood from the heart to the rest of the body
systematic circulation
the movement of the blood between the heart and the lungs
pulmonary circulation
