Q

Capillaries surround the Bronchioles which bring blood with low oxygen from the pulmonary arteries to the Alveoli where…

Q

Invertebrates may have one of three different types of circulatory systems

A

Simple Diffusion into the gastrovascular cavity (without blood), Open Circulatory System (where Blood directly bathes the internal organs), or Closed Circulatory System

20
Q

Vessels:

A

Arteries, Veins, Capillaries, ect.

21
Q

Valves in the circulatory system

A

Valves that force blood to not go backwards. Gravity would make it go backward if not for valves.

22
Q

Arteries (And smaller ARTERIOLES)

A

AWAY from the HEART

23
Q

Veins (and smaller VENULES)

A

TOWARDS the HEART

24
Q

Blood Carries…

A

It is the HIGHWAY of the body. Oxygen, CO2, Minerals, White-blood cells, Nutrients, Proteins, Hormones, and metabolites.

25
Capillaries surround...
All tissues of the body
26
Hemoglobin:
Contains (4 heme groups) (Iron) which CARRIES the Oxygen
27
Veins flow into what part of the heart in order to be oxidized
Right Atrium and Right Ventricle
28
Arteries flow from these parts of the Heart
Left Atrium and Left Ventricle
29
Excretory System
Responsible for collecting waste materials and transporting them to organs that expel them from the body.
30
Kidneys:
Filter metabolic waste and excite them into the urinary tract
31
Urine:
95% water. Broken down proteins (Urea), nucleic acids(Uric Acid), Creatinine (byproduct of muscle contraction, and various minerals and hormones
32
Liver:
Produces Bile, and breaks down some nitrogenous molecules excreting them as Urea
33
Bile
Broken down pigments and chemicals (usually pollutants) which aids digestion
34
Lungs is also
Excretory Organ
35
Skin is an...
Accessory Excretory Organ (Salts, Urea, and other wastes are exerted from sweat glands in skin)
36
Immune System
Functions to defend the body from infection by Pathogen and gets rid of excess fluid in body
37
Lymphatic System
Principal infection fighting component of the immune system and gets rid of excess fluid in body. Also part of Circulatory System. (Lymph, Lymph nodes, Spleen, Thymus, and Tonsils
38
Lymph:
A collection of excess fluid and plasma proteins that is absorbed from between cells into vessels which circulate through the lymphatic system and dump into the blood stream
39
Lymph Nodes
Small masses of lymph tissues whose function is to filter lymph and produce lymphocytes
40
Lymphocytes
Begin in bone marrow and are B cells and T cells
41
B Cells
Produce Antibodies which enter the blood stream;
42
Antibodies
Find and attach themselves to foreign Antigens (Pathogen and toxins), thus marking them for destruction
43
Spleen:
Contains lymphatic tissue that filters large volumes of lymph that nodes can't handle
44
Tonsils
A group of lymph cells in the throat
45
Thymus
Only active in the teen years. Fighting infection and producing T Cells.
46
T cells
Patrol the blood for antigens and are equipped to destroy antigens. Also regulate the body's immune responses.
47
Carbon Monoxide can...
Bind to hemoglobin, preventing oxygen to be able to
