1
Q

Arteries

A
carry blood away from heart
don't change blood, only transport
travel in pairs with veins 
more pressure 
small diameter
thicker wall (to keep pressure)
elastic (to keep pressure)

Capillaries

A

exchange materials in the blood
materials leak in and out and blood stays in
small: red blood cells in single file
nutrients leave, exchanged with wastes
oxygen leaves, exchanged with carbon dioxide
blood flow slows down
leaky

A

17
Q

Epicardium

A

tissue outside of the heart

skin-like

18
Q

Myocardium

A

muscle in the middle

majority of the heart

19
Q

Endocardium

A

skin-like layer that lines the chambers

20
Q

Systemic Circulations

A

systemic-all body systems except lungs

coronary, renal, hepatic

21
Q

Coronary

A

from heart chambers to heart tissue (muscle) and back to the heart chambers

22
Q

Renal

A

heart>kidneys>heart

kidneys remove waste (what our body makes) from blood

23
Q

Hepatic

A

heart>liver>heart
liver removes toxins (something foreign) from blood
liver stores glucose and releases when the cells need it

24
Q

Heart Rate

A

measured in beats per minutes

target-70 bpm

25
Q

Types of Blood Vessels

A

arteries, veins, capillaries

26
Q

Valves

A

cuspid and semilunar
veins
keep blood from going backwards

27
Q

Cuspid Valves

A

between atrium and ventricle, found in the heart

28
Q

Vein Valves

A

prevent backflow of blood

if broken valves, walls of veins stretch and vericose veins happen

29
Q

Heart Beat

A
valves snap shut during contraction

30
Q

Heart Murmur

A

valves aren’t shutting completely

sounds aren’t distinct in heartbeat

31
Q

Blood Pressure

A
pressure of blood in the arteries 
target>110/70
110>max pressure in the arteries
70>min pressure in the arteries
140/90>pre high blood pressure
180/100>high blood pressure
32
Q

Causes of High Blood Pressure

A

something blocking flow of blood in arteries
