  • Back

hemolymph

blood like fluid

erythrocyte

red blood cells, carry O2 from lungs to body tissues

leukocyte
white blood cells, defend against invading organisms, eliminate dead and dying cells

platelet

oval vesicles that take part in blood clotting

serum

amber colored liquid that leaves when blood clots

plasma

colorless fluid of blood, in which cells are suspended

anemia

lack of red blood cells, lack of hemoglobin, results in weakness

hemostasis

stopping of the flow of blood

coagulation

clotting of blood

endothemlium

tissue of single layer of cells that lines organs and cavities

epicardium

innermost layer of pericardium, outer surface of heart, connective tissue

myocardium

muscular tissue of heart

endocardium

innermost layer, thin membrane that lines the chambers of the heart

pericardium

membrane enclosing the heart

intercalated discs

joining between two cells in cardiac muscle

systole

period of contraction and emptying of heart

diastole

period of relaxation and filling of the heart between contractions

open circulatory system

fluid is not always in vessels

closed circulatory system

fluid in confined to vessels

erythrocyte

red blood cell, contains hemoglobins(proteins that transport O2 in blood)

monocyte

leukocyte, enters damaged tissue from bloodstream through endothelial wall of blood vessel

neutrophil

phagocytic leukocyte, attaches to blood vessel walls in massive numbers when attracted to infection sire by chemokines

basophil

leukocyte, induced to sectrete histamine by allergens

lymphocyte

leukocyte, carried out most activities in tissues and organs of lymophatic system, plays major roles in immune responses

eosinophil

leukocyte, targets extracellular parasites too large for phagocytosis in inflammatory response

general composition of plasma

water, sugars, plasma proteins, ion, lipids, hormones, signal molecules, metabolic wastes

plasma proteins

transport lipids, hormones, etc in circulatory system, and regulation of acellular activity

difference between coagulation and hemostasis

hemostasis is stopping of blood


coagulation is clotting of blood

steps in coagulation
tissue injury
prothrombin activated
becomes thrombin(enzyme that activates production of fibrinogen)

erythropoietin

hormone that stimulates in bone marrow to produce more red blood cells

what is the basis for blood typing

A: B antibody, accept A and O, give to A and AB


B: A antibody, accept B and O, give to B and AB


AB:no antibody, accept any kind, give to AB


O:AB antibody, accept only O, give to anyone

pulmonary semilunar valve

lies between right ventricle and pulmonary artery

mitral valve
valve between left atrium and left ventricle of heart

tricuspid valve

prevents reflux of blood from right ventricle to the right atrium

aortic valve

seperates aorta from left ventricle that prevents blood from flowing back into left ventricle

pulmonary circulation

carries deoxygenated blood from the heart and brings back oxygenated blood

systemic circulation

carries oxygenated blood from the heart and brings back deoxygenated blood

cardiac cycle

.

to what are the heart sounds due?

first heart sound: Atrioventricular valves: mitral and tricuspid



second heart sound: Semilunar valves: pulmonary and aortic

conduction system of the heart

specialized cardiac muscle cells in the walls of the heart that send signals to heart causing it to contract



SA node, AV node,

wall of a blood vessel, layers and what is in each

Tunica Intima: innermost layer, endothelium, simple squamous epithelium


Tunica Media: middle layer, Arteries:elastic, smooth muscle Veins:not elastic, smooth muscle, valves to prevent backflow of blood


Tunica Adventitia: outermost layer, connective tissue, elastic(allows for us to feel heartbeat)

types of blood vessels, function of each

Arteries: carry blood away from heart, towards tissues and organs


Arterioles:small branch of artery leading to capillary


capillaries: find branching blood vessels that form network between arterioles and venules


venules: very small vein, collects blood from capillaries


veins: tube forming part of blood circulation, carries oxygenated blood to heart

concept of blood pressure


what affects it? what are their effects?

Exercise: regular exercise can lower BP


Nutrition: dieting increases BP


Stress:raises BP


Sleep: lowers blood pressure


Alcohol: raise blood pressure


deep breathing: lowers BP

what is the pulse? to what is it due?

throbbing of the arteries as blood is pumped through them

lymph? functions?

colorless fluid of white blood cells, bathes tissues and drains through lymphatic system into blood stream

structures of lymphatic system? functions?

fluid: lymph


vessel: moves lymph


organ:node that filters lymph

lymphatic vessels

.

two lymphatic ducts? what area does each drain?
thoracic duct:
right lymphatic duct: right upper limb and right side of head ands neck

lacteals

lymphatic vessels of small intestine that abosrb digested fats

spleen

left side of stomach, filters blood, made of lymphatic tissue and red pulp

adenoids

behind nasal cavity, trap bacteria and viruses that come in through the nose, glandular tissue

thymus

behind sternum, between lungs, helps protect against autoimmunity when the immune system turns on itself, glandular tissue

tonsils

rear of the throat, helps fight infections, tissue similar to lymph

functions of spleen

filter for blood, helps fight bacteria that causes pneumonia and meningitis

diffusion

movement from higher concentration to lower concentration

ventilation

breathing

perfusion

delivering blood to capillaries

trachea

windpipe, tube of cartilage "c" rings between the larynx and bronchial tubes

gills

counterflowing because water flows one way while blood flows the other

lungs

sac like organ that air flows in to

chemoreceptor

sensory cell or organ responsive to chemical stimuli

respiratory mechanisms of other animals
gills
lungs
air sacs
trachean

path of air as it flows into lungs

.

bronchi

major air passages of the lungs that diverge from the windpipe

bronchiole

any minute branches into which a bronchus divides

alveoli

any tiny air sac in lungs where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place

anatomy of the lungs

.

respiratory membrane

alveolar and capillary walls, gas on one side and blood flowing past on the others

describe process of breathing ventilation



normal reflex breathing be altered? when and why

.

external respiration

oxygen diffuses into the blood


carbon dioxide diffuses into alveolar air

internal respiration

oxygen diffuses out of blood


carbon dioxide diffuses out of cells

how are O2 and CO2 transported in the blood

blood serves to transport both gases
