24
Q

Three types of blood vessels

A

artery, vein and capillary

25
Q

carry blood away from the heart

A

Arteries

26
Q

Carry blood toward the heart

A

Veins

27
Q

Site of gas exchange

A

Capillaries

28
Q

which is the layer of flattened epithelial cells

A

endothelium

29
Q

3 parts of the heart

A

chambers, vessels and valves

30
Q

four chambers of the human heart

A

two atria and two ventricles

31
Q

the largest blood vessels are found

A

Heart

32
Q

The biggest artery

The first site that receives the highest pressure

This is where oxygenated blood that will flow through the rest of the body will be distributed

A

aorta

33
Q

are the biggest veins/where the blood from the upper and lower parts of the body will be drained, respectively.

A

superior vena cava and inferior vena cava

34
Q

4 valves present in the heart

A

mitral valve, tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve and aortic valve

35
Q

the mitral and tricuspid valves are also known as

A

atrioventricular valves

36
Q

Prevent backflow of blood

A

Valves/pulmonary and aortic valve

37
Q

It is characterized by a rounded swelling in any arterial wall but usually in the aorta

it has mild symptoms or none at all. It is usually undetected until the swelling bursts or blocks the blood flow

A

Aneurysm

38
Q

Fats, cholesterol, cellular debris, calcium and other substances build up in the wall of an artery

A

Atherosclerosis

39
Q

It involves heart defects present from birth. It can be defects in the walls of the heart, heart valves, and blood vessels near the heart

A

Congenital heart defects

40
Q

It is also known as high blood pressure. The force of blood against the arterial wall can lead to health problems such as heart disease

A

Hypertension

41
Q

Lacks clotting proteins. Hence, his or her blood doesn’t normally clot

A

Hemophilia

42
Q

This is characterized by a damaged vessel supplying blood to the heart

A

Coronary heart disease
