Test Circulatory System Flashcards
- Which component of blood is 90% water
Plasma
Pg. 67
- Needed substances are carried to the body cells by
Blood
Pg. 67
- When blood flows into the right Atrium from the body it contains
Little oxygen and a lot of carbon dioxide
Pg. 73
- The function of the atria is to
Receive blood that comes through the heart
Pg. 73
- When blood flows into the left Atrium from the body it contains
A lot of oxygen and a little of carbon dioxide
Pg. 73
- Through which type of circulation does blood flow to your hands and feet
Systemic Circulation
Pg. 74
- What blood vessel allows diffusion to occur
Capillaries
Pg. 74
- What type of tissue in the heart pumps blood throughout the body
Muscle tissue
Pg. 73
- In which vessels are materials exchanged between the blood and the body cells
Capillaries
Pg. 75
- What is the main function of platelets
Helping your blood clot
Pg. 67
- What can you infer from the fact that your heart beats faster when you exercise
When you exercise your muscles need more oxygen
Pg. 78
- What causes blood pressure
The force of which ventricles contract
Pg. 67
- The left ventricle pumps blood to the lungs
False, right Ventricle
Pg. 73
- As blood moves away from the heart blood pressure increases
False decreases
Pg. 73
- Blood flows from the heart to the body through veins
False, arteries
- Fibrin is produced when the blood components called BLANK start a chain reaction that produces a blood clot
Platelets
Pg. 67
- Blood that contains large amounts of carbon dioxide flows from the body into the BLANK atrium of the heart
Right
Pg. 73
- Blood returns to the heart from the body through BLANK
Arteries
Pg. 67
- Blood that is rich in oxygen leaves the heart through the blood vessel known as the BLANK
Aorta
Pg. 73
- A flap of tissue called a BLANK separates the right Atrium from the right ventricle and prevents a backward flow of blood
Valve
Pg. 68
- The circulatory system carries the needed materials oxygen and BLANK to the body cells
Glucose, nutrients
Pg. 68
- Substances are exchanged between the blood and body cells in the blood vessels known as BLANK
Capillaries
Pg. 68
- What are Pulmonary arteries. And what are Pulmonary veins
the artery carrying blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation
vein carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
- What are Ventricles
The two bottom chambers of the heart
Pg. 68
- What blood vessels lead to the left Atrium, and what’s its oxygen level
Pulmonary veins, high in oxygen
- After blood leaves the right Atrium where does it go
Then it flows to the right ventricle
- What is the function of the valve that separates the left Atrium from the left ventricle
It prevents blood from flowing backwards
- Where does the blood flow after it goes through the right Atrium
It goes to right ventricle
Pg. 73
- What is the flap of tissue that prevents blood from flowing backwards
Valve
Pg. 67
- What would happen to a person if they had a hole in their septum
Some of the cells would not be fully oxygenated
