Florence_Weller Circulatory System Flashcards
- Blood type B has what type of clumping proteins in its plasma
Anti a proteins
- What eventually happens to fluid leaks from capillaries into the surrounding tissues
It returns to the blood through the lymphatic system
- When blood flows into the right atrium from the body it contains?
Little oxygen and a lot of carbon dioxide
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- What is the blood type of a persons plasma contains anti b proteins
Type a
- When the ventricles contract blood is pumped to?
Out of the heart
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- What causes blood pressure?
The force in which the ventricles contract
- What is the main difference between your ventricles and your atria
Your atria bring blood into the heart; your ventricles pump it out
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- Which chamber of the heart pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs
Right ventricle
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- When blood flows into the left atrium from the body it contains?
A lot of oxygen and little carbon dioxide
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart is called?
Arteries
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- What role does your brain play in the circulation of the blood through the body
It signals the heart to beat
- The left ventricle pumped blood to the lungs
True or false
False right
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- White blood cells are the most numerous type of cells in whole blood
True or false
False red
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- Blood flows from the heart to the body through veins
True or false
False arteries
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- Blood that is rich in oxygen leaves the heart through the blood vessel known as
Aorta
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- Blood returns to the heart from the body through the big blood vessels called
Vena cavas
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- Left ventricle is high in oxygen because?
It has just come from the left atrium which receives blood
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- What function does the valve do?
Prevents blood from flowing backwards
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- What happens if someone had a hole in their septum?
It would allow oxygen poor blood to mix with oxygen rich
- The aorta does what
It carries blood to the heart
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- What are the blood vessels called that go into the left atrium
Pulmonary veins and they are high in oxygen
64. Pathways of the Circulatory System
- Where are the arteries and veins located?
Near the pulmonary trunk and the right atrium
