Q

what artery supplies all other arteries with blood?

A

The Aorta- At about the level of the navel, the aorta divides into the iliac arteries, allowing blood to travel down each leg.

Q

the major artery of the arm distal to the elbow joint

A

Radial arteries

19
Q

carry oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs, where the blood is oxygenated & returned to the heart for circulation throughout the body

A

Pulmonary arteries

20
Q

The arteries are smaller the farther they are from the heart. Each eventually branches into an..

A

Arteriole (the smallest kind of artery)

21
Q

carry blood from the arteries into the capillaries

22
Q

tiny blood vessels that connect an arteriole to a venule

23
Q

the smallest branch of a vein

24
Q

carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the right atrium where it begins circulation through the heart and lungs

A

The Vena Cavae

25
Q

carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium

A

The pulmonary veins

26
Q

give the blood it’s color, carry oxygen to the body cells, & carry carbon dioxide away from the cells

A

Red blood cells

27
Q

are part of the body’s immune system & help to defend against infection

A

White blood cells

28
Q

clotting factors

29
Q

this is the liquid part of the blood, which carries blood cells and transports nutrients to all tissues. It also transports waste products to organs where they can be excreted from the body

30
Q

2 ways to of determining the adequacy of circulation are by assessing the

A

pulse & blood pressure

31
Q

the wave of blood propelled through the arteries as a result of the contraction of the left ventricle

32
Q

The central pulses, closer to the heart are the:

A

carotid and femoral

33
Q

The peripheral pulses, farther from the heart are the:

A

radial, brachial, posterior tibial & dorsalis pedis.

34
Q

the force exerted by the blood on the interior walls of the arteries

A

Blood pressure

35
Q

exerted against the walls of the arteries when the left ventricle contracts

A

Systolic blood pressure

36
Q

exerted against the walls of the arteries when the left ventricle is at rest or between contractions

A

Diastolic blood pressure

37
Q

the force exerted on the inside of the vessel walls as a result of the blood pressure and volume

A

Hydrostatic pressure

38
Q

swelling occurring in the tissues

39
Q

the delivery of oxygen, glucose, and other nutrients to the cells of all organs and the elimination of carbon dioxide and waste products, which results from the constant adequate circulation of blood through the capillaries

40
Q

The insufficient supply of oxygen and other nutrients to some of the body’s cells and the inadequate elimination of carbon dioxide & other wastes that result from inadequate circulation of blood.

A

Hypoperfusion

41
Q

what % of the oxygen that is carried in the blood is attached to the hemoglobin molecule?

42
Q

the main source of energy is

43
Q

chemical & physical changes that take place within the cell “with oxygen”

A

aerobic metabolism

44
Q

chemical and physical changes that take place within the cell “Without oxygen”

A

anaerobic metabolism

45
Q

What is the name of the object that carries oxygen in the blood?

A

Red blood cells
