Topic 16: Circulatory and Respiratory Systems Flashcards
Lymphatic system
open accessory in closed systems
blood plasma
consists of metabolites, wastes, and hormones
Ions in blood plasma
Na, Cl, bicarbonate
Proteins in blood plasma
Albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, antibodies
Globulins
carry lipids and steroid hormones
Leukocytes
how are they different from red blood cells
larger than red blood cells, have nucleus
The granular leukocytes are
neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
Cells for immune defense
Neutrophils
Cells for parasite defense
Eosinophils
Nongranular leukocytes are
monocytes, lymphocytes
precursor to macrophage
Monocyte
break off bits of cytoplasm to form platelets and plug a wound; plug reinforced by fibrin
Megakaryocytes
Layers of blood vessels from outer to inner
endothelium, elastic fibers, smooth muscle, connective tissue
Fish circulation has how many loops
single loop
Amphibian circulation has how many chambers in the heart
3-chambered heart
What side of circulatory system has more pressure
Left side has more pressure
Order of blood flow
Body blood > right atrium > right ventricle > lungs > left atrium > left ventricle > body
(pacemaker) starts impulse at atria and sends impulse to AV node
SA node
shunts impulse to apex of heart
AV node
modified cardiac muscle cells that resemble neurons
provide almost simultaneous contraction of left and right ventricles
Purkinje fibers
