|
|

|
|

|
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 |
|
