Anatomy

Front 1

Three interrelated components of Cardiovascular System

Back 1

- blood

- heart

- blood vessels

Front 2

a liquid connective tissue

Back 2

Blood

Front 3

water liquid extracellular matrix

Back 3

Blood Plasma

Front 4

Formed Elements of Blood Plasma

Back 4

- Red Blood Cells

- White Blood Cells

- Platelets

Front 5

- aka Erythrocytes

- contain oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin

- lacks nucleus and other organelles

- live only about 120 days

Back 5

Red Blood Cells

Front 6

- aka Leukocytes

- have nuclei

- do not contain hemoglobin

- general function to combat invaders by phagocytosis or immune responses

Back 6

White Blood Cells

Front 7

Types of white Blood Cells

Back 7

Basophils and Eosinophils

Front 8

intensify inflammatory reaction

Back 8

Basophils

Front 9

release histaminase

Back 9

Eosinophils

Front 10

major soldiers of the immune system

Back 10

Lymphocytes

Front 11

bacteria and toxins

Back 11

B cells

Front 12

viruses, fungi, transplanted and cancer cells

Back 12

T Cells

Front 13

infectious microbes and certain tumor cells

Back 13

Natural Killer (NK) Cells

Front 14

- aka Thrombocytes

- splinters into 2000-3000

- disc-shaped w/ many vesicles but no nucleus

- help stop blood loss by forming platelet plug

- 5-9 days life span

Back 14

Platelets

Front 15

blood has only Antigen A

Back 15

Type A

Front 16

blood has only Antigen B

Back 16

Type B

Front 17

- blood has antigens A and B

- universal recipients

Back 17

Type AB

Front 18

- blood has neither antigen

- universal donor

Back 18

Type O

Front 19

- located at the mediastinum

- apex at tip of the left ventricle

- base is posterior surface

Back 19

Heart

Front 20

Membrane surrounding and protecting the heart

Back 20

Pericardium

Front 21

2 main parts of Pericardium

Back 21

- Fibrous

- Serous

Front 22

reduces friction; secreted into pericardial cavity

Back 22

Pericardial Fluid

Front 23

Layers of the Heart wall

Back 23

- Epicardium

- Myocardium

- Endocardium

Front 24

Smooth, slippery texture to outermost surface

Back 24

Epicardium

Front 25

95% of heart is cardiac muscle

Back 25

Myocardium

Front 26

Smooth lining for chambers of heart

Back 26

Endocardium

Front 27

Chambers of the Heart

Back 27

2 atria and 2 ventricles

Front 28

Heart Valve

Back 28

- Atrioventricular Valves

- Semilunar Valves

Front 32

Specialized Cardiac Muscle Fibers

Back 32

Autorhythmic Fibers

Front 33

acts as pacemaker of the heart

Back 33

Sinoatrial Node

Front 34

5 main types of Blood Vessels

Back 34

- Arteries

- Arterioles

- Capillaries

- Venules

- Veins

Front 35

carry blood away from the heart

Back 35

Arteries

Front 36

carry blood to the heart

Back 36

Veins

Front 37

Basic Structure of Blood Vessel
(3 layers)

Back 37

- Tunica Interna

- Tunica Media

- Tunica Externa

Front 38

decrease in lumen diameter
