Quiz 4 - Ch. 23 Flashcards
Circulatory System
Facilitate exchange with all body tissues
Open Circulatory System
invertebrates mostly
open-ended vessels present
Single Circulatory Loop
fish
Closed Circulatory System
earthworms/squids/octopi/vertebrates
blood confined to vessels
Double Circulatory Loop
land-dwelling organisms
pulmonary/systemic
Vessels
veins and arteries
Veins
deoxygenated
toward the heart (except pulmonary)
less smooth muscle
connected by venules
Arteries
oxygenated
away from the heart (except pulmonary)
more smooth muscle
no valves
connected by arterioles
SA Node
group of cells that are the parameter of the heart
pulse is generated here
Heart Attacks
caused by plaque build-up in vessels
Epithelium
lines the interior surface of blood vessels
forming an interface between circulating blood and vessel wall
endothelial cells
Blood Pressure
force that blood exerts against the walls of your blood vessels
Normal Blood Pressure
120/80 or lower
120 = systolic and 80 = diastolic
Systolic
pressure when ventricles contract (listed 1st)
Diastolic
pressure when ventricles relax (listed 2nd)
