Lymphatic System
Return extracellular fluid to the veins; functions in disease control
Elastin - connective tissue of arteries of the cardiovascular system
Protein that allows for greater elasticity of tissues found in skin, lung, and artery tissue

Collagen - connective tissue of arteries of the cardiovascular system
main structural protein which provides strength to tissues and gives protection to fragile organs
Tunica intima - a layer of arteries
The innermost coat or layer; consists of a continuous layer of endothelial cells that line the lumen and a layer of supporting connective tissue
Tunica media - a layer of arteries
The middle coat or layer consists of smooth muscle circularly arranged containing elastin - thicket layer
Tunica adventitia - a layer of arteries
Outermost layer: connective tissue containing elastin and collagen
Elastin (large) arteries
Thick-walled arteries near the heart and have a high proportion of elastin. Includes the aorta and its major branches
Muscular (distributing) arteries
Deliver blood to specific body organs that have high proportions of smooth muscle
Arterioles
The smallest arteries, with lesser proportions of smooth muscle and elastin
Capillaries
Endothelial cells that are covered with a basement membrane. Function in exchange of materials between the blood and tissue
Veins
Smooth muscle circularly arranged, more collagen, less elastin
Venules
Type of vein: much like capillaries but of larger diameter
Lymph Ducts
The extracellular fluid is returned to the heart via the lymphatic system. Contains thin-walled vessels with one-way valves
Right atrium (thinner)
Receives blood from the vena cava and moves it to the right ventricle
Right ventricle
Pumps blood from the right atrium to the pulmonary artery
Left atrium
Receives blood from the pulmonary veins and moves it to the left ventricle
Left ventricle
The largest heart chamber: pumps blood to the aorta from the left atrium
Atrioventricular Valves
It is located between the atria and ventricles; it prevents blood from flowing from ventricles back into the atria
Semilunar Valves
It is located between the ventricles and arteries leaving the heart; it prevents blood from flowing back into the ventricles
Aorta
The largest artery in the body that carries blood from the left ventricle to the body
Vena Cava
The largest vein in the body that has a superior vena cava, which carries from the upper body, and the inferior vena cava, which brings blood from the lower body to the right atrium
Coronary arteries
Multiple arteries running on both sides of the heart that supply nutrients and O2 to the heart muscle
Pulmonary artery
Carries low-oxygen blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
Pulmonary vein
Carries high-oxygen blood from the lungs to the left atrium
Lub
The heart sound made when the atrioventricular valves snap shut
Dub
The heart sound made when the semilunar valves snap shut
Pulmonary circulation
Blood circulates from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart
Systematic circulation
Blood circulates from the heart to an organ and back to the heart
Hepatic portal systems
Hapatic is a term referring to the liver. This portal system transports blood collected from the absorptive areas of the digestive system to the liver. Blood from the stomach and the small intestine is taken directly to the liver, then returned to the heart.
Hypothalamic-hyposeal portal system
Blood from a hypothalamus goes directly to the hypophysis before returning to the heart. This system carries hormones from the hypothalamus to the hypophysis and prevents degeneration and dilution of the small amounts of hormones produced

Parotid salivary gland
Located below a the ear
Submaxillary salivary gland
Located at the base of the jaw on the medial edge
Sublingual salivary glands
On either side below the tongue
Saliva contains (7):
Water, mucin, salivary amylase, secretory immunoglobulin A, electrolytes, lingual lipase, lysozymes
Function of the salivary gland
Secretes mucin, bicarbonate, water, and salivary amylase (BMWS)
Buccal cavity
Empty space in the mouth
Hard palate: roof of the mouth with underlying bone
Soft palate: softer tissue posterior to the hard palate
Pharynx
The open space behind the buccal cavity. A joint passageway for both food and air
Larynx
Part of the respiratory track between the pharynx and trachea and contains vocal cords
Trachea
Transports air from the larynx to the bronchi. Pale to white in color
Esophagus
Parallels the trachea and is dorsal to it. Pink and color. Carries ingested food from the pharynx to the stomach.
Pleura
Membrane lining the walls of thoracic cavity and surrounding the lungs. Cushions the lungs and provides lubrication to allow lungs to move smoothly.
Pericardium
Membrane surrounding the heart that forms of fluid filled sack that contains the hearts. Functions to contain the heart within the chest cavity and to prevent heart from over expanding.
Diaphragm
Skeletal muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. Contractions of diagram, increase sides of the thoracic cavity
Peritoneum
Membrane that line abdominal cavity and surrounds vital organs. Supports vital organs and serves as a conduit for blood and lymph vessels and nerves
Liver
Major metabolic processing unit that maintains level of nutrients in blood. in digestion, it function is the secretion of bile
Gall bladder
Stores and excretes bile
Stomach
Produces hydrochloric acid and the enzyme pepsinogen to begin digestion of other proteins
Spleen
The largest lymphatic organ and functions as a site for production of lymphocytes. Removed old and damaged red blood cells.
