Circulatory System Flashcards
Joe does the respiratory system use the circulatory system
To deliver oxygen
How does the digestive system use the circulatory system
Deliver nutrients
4 functions of the cardiovascular system
Deliver oxygen, nutrients, remover waste, CO2, and other waste
Is the system open ?
No it is a closed system of the heart and the blood vessels
What is the movement of blood in the heart
Into the right side, out to lungs, into left side, out to the body
Pulmonary circulation
Oxygenated blood and removes CO2
Systemic circulation
Provides nutrients to cells and removes waste
Difference between artery and veins
Attires carry blood always from heart to rest of body, veins carry blood from the rest of the body to the heart
What Carries the blood around (5 things)
Arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venues, veins
What are arteries/arterioles
Muscular walls, moves blood away from heart, they have a pulse,
What regulates arteries
The ANS (autonomic nervous system)
What are arterioles connected to
Capillary beds
What are capillary beds
A intertwined network of capillaries that supply an organ( ex the beds in the digestive system are open after eating so the capillaries can pick up nutrients) open means blood is flowing
Where is the the subclavian and what is it
It is near the shoulder and it a major artery
Where and what are jugular veins
They are part of the major arteries and are in the neck and take blood from the head to the heart
What are where are the carotid arteries
They are arteries that supple the head with oxygenated blood and are in and around the neck
What are the mesenteric arteries
They supple blood to the intestines
Anterior and posterior vena cava
The anterior delivers deoxygenated blood from higher parts of the body to the right side of the heart. The posterior carries deoxygenated blood from lower parts of the body into the right atrium
Pulmonary veins/ arteries
Arteries carry oxygenated from heart to lungs. Veins bring blood from lungs to heart
Hepatic portal vein
Gets blood from small intestine and goes to liver
Hepatic vein
delivers blood from liver to heart
Renal arteries/ veins
Veins carry blood from kidney to posterior vena cava (heart). Arteries carry blood from heart to kidneys
Aorta
Top of left ventricle and delivers oxygenated blood to the body
What are capillaries
They are the smallest blood vessels
