Q

What is the result of strengthened ventricle walls

A

Larger ventricle chambers

19
Q

What are the three pathways of the circulatory system

A

Plumatory
Systemic
Coronary

20
Q

Plumatory pathway

A

Transport oxygen poor blood to lungs and rich blood to the heart

21
Q

Systemic pathway

A

Moves oxygen rich blood throughout the body into tissues giving it nutrients

22
Q

Coronary pathway

A

Provides oxygen to heart tissues
Oxygen rich blood travels from the aorta to the coronary arteries and then back by the veins

23
Q

Atherosclerosis

A

Buildup of plaque on the inside of the artery walls. Restict blood flow

24
Q

What are treatments for artherosclerosis

A

Asprin
Angioplasty (ballon with mesh to hold it up)
Coronary bipass (grandma procedure)

25
Q

Heart murmer

A

Results from a leaky valve
Can be heard

26
Q

Heart attack

A

Restricted flow of blood to the heart muscle
Heart cells begin to die

27
Q

Stroke

A

When poor blood flows to the brain resulting in cell death

28
Q

Plasma

A

Fluid portion in the blood

29
Q

What are some parts in plasma

A

Water
Disolved gas
Proteins
Hormoes
ect

30
Q

What is another word for red blood cells

A

Erthrocytes

31
Q

Anemia

A
