  • 3rd side (hint)

Blood plasma

Part of the blood consisting of water, plasma proteins and dissolved substances 55%

Red blood cell

Blood cell without a nucleus, containing haemoglobin and transport oxygen

White blood cell

Blood cell with a nucleus, without a fixed shape

Platelet

Part of a broken-uncelebrated that has a function in blood clotting

Fibrinogen

Plasma protein that has a function in blood clotting

Haemoglobin

Protein that can bind oxygen and later release it again

Circulation

A circle that keeps repeating it never ends it requires a pump so everything moves aka the heart and a path to follow aka the blood vessels

Arteries

Blood vessel that transports blood away from the heart

Capillary

Blood vessel with a walk that is only one cell layer thick


Smallest blood vessels located in the organs

Veins

Blood vessel that transports blood towards the heart

Circulatory system

All the blood vessels in the body , needed to make sure everything gets where it has to be

Portal vein

Blood vessel that transports blood from the intestinal wall to the liver

Pulmonary circulation

Circulation in which the blood from the heart flows to the lungs and then back to the heart

Systemic circulation

Circulation in which the blood from the heart flows to the rest of the body (no lungs) and the back to the heart

Double circulatory system

Circulatory system in which the blood passes through the heart twice in each complete circuit if you are large like us

Valve

Type of membrane that only allows the blood to flow in one direction

Coronary artery

Artery branching off from the sorts that takes blood to the cardiac muscle

Coronary vein

Blood vessel carrying the left and right halves of the hesrt

Blood vessel carrying the left and right halves of the heart

Cardiac cycle

The heartbeat has to beats


1st beat the contraction of the atria=atrial systole


2nd beat contraction of the ventricles= ventricular systole


Partition between the left and right halves of the heart

Superior vena cava

Vein that brings deoxygenated blood from the head and the arms back to the hesrt

Vein that brings deoxygenated blood from the head and the arms back to the heart

Inferior vena cava

Vein that brings deoxygenated blood from the torso and the legs back to the heart

Right atrium

Part of the heart that the main veins and coronary veins exit into

Right ventricle

Part of the heart that pumps blood into the pulmonary artery

Pulmonary artery

Blood vessel that transports deoxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart

Pulmonary vein

Blood vessel that transports oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart

Left atrium

Part of the heart that the pulmonary veins exit into

Left ventricle

Part of the heart that pumps blood through the sorts to all the body’s organs

Aorta

Blood vessel that transports oxygenated blood from the heart to the organs

Heart valve

Valve between an atrium and a ventricle

Semilunar valve

Valve at the entrance to the pulmonary artery or aorta

Heartbeat

Contraction of the atria, followed by contraction of the ventricles and then the cardiac pause

Cardiac pause

Period during which the atria and ventricles relax


(Diastole)

Exogenous/foreign substance

Substance that does not belong in your body

Infection

Penetration of pathogens into the body

Immune system

System inside the body that fights off pathogens

Antigen

Are unique for every cell can only recognize 1 specific antigen

Antibodies

Tool that wbc use to kill pathogens are antibodies

Immune

Not getting sick because white blood cells are able to make antibodies almost immediately for a pathogen you have previously been infected with

Natural immunity

Immunity because the person has had the illness before

Vaccine

Substance that contains a dead/attenuated pathogen

Artificial immunity

Immunity because the person had been inoculated( ingeënt)with a vaccine

Vaccination coverage

The percentage of people who have to be vaccinated if the population as a whole is to be protected against a diseased such as COVID

Allergic reaction

Response of the immune system to a substance that someone is hypersensitive to

Allergy

Hypersensitivity to particular substances

Anaphylactic response

Severe allergic reaction that can occur when the body comes into contact too often with a substance that someone is allergic to

Blood pressure

The pressure arsing in the arteries when the blood is pumped round


Systolic pressure: 120 mmHg


Diastolic pressure 80 mmHg

Arteriosclerosis

Blo cm age of ah artery by fatty substance like cholesterol. Fixing that? Arteries can be opened up through angioplasty kind of balloon that blow up with a net around it

Heart attack

Blockage of a coronary artery so that part of the heart muscle is no longer supplying oxygen and nutrients

Blood stream

Brings every where it has to be

Clotting

platelets start to activate clotting proteins in the plasma it forms a clot

Test question: give me 2 types of desolved products in your plasma

Proteins, nutrients, water or gases

Test question: which cells does not have a nucleus

Red blood cells

Sickle cell anemia

Rbc don’t have the normal shape( like the moon)loses the surface area to store oxygen

2 types of circulatory systems

Closed 1 direction open multiple directions

Anatomy of the heart

We divide the heart in to two sides right en left but then the opposite pay attention by pictures of this!

Heart consist of:

2 atria at the top and 2 ventricles at the bottom they spread the blood to the rest of the body

Septum

Separates left and right

Semilar valves

Making sure that the blood return to the heart

Atrioventricular valves

Only one way so it can’t go back

Blood vessels

3 types: veins, arteries and capillaries

Arteries (2)

The strongest and most elastic of the blood vessels because if you make the surface bigger the pressure become less and it spreads it self out

Capillaries (2)

Walk is 1 cell thick and full of holes to allow for exchange of substances between blood and body

Veins (2)

Low blood pressure because, blood is pushed further by body muscles sours the veins stopped from going back by valves

Oxygenated en deoxygenated

Arteries are oxygenated go from heart to organ


Veins are deoxygenated go from organ to heart


Exceptions that are also oxygenated pulmonary vein/artery and the hepatic portal vein

Low blood pressure

Caused most by drinking less then needed, then less blood goes to the organs what cause: headaches,dizziness and tiredness

High blood pressure

To much blood is pushed through the arteries can cause: damage to heart/arteries/organs high risk for strokes or heart attacks

Pathogens

Are things that cause a disease like bacteria or viruses dealt with the white blood cells unknown signal kill it!

Memory cells

After having killed a pathogen they create a version of themself these also kill pathogens they are taught for that
