Bio Unit One Test Flashcards
Leukocytes
Nucleus 5000ml per Larger than erythocytes Phagocytes non specific immune response Lymphocytes Specific immune response
Describe function of circulatory
Move blood from heart to lungs and back to heart then travels to all cells of body
Plasma
Straw coloured liquid
55% of blood volume
Liquid no size
Transports soluble food molecules, wastes, hormones, and antibodies
Erythrocytes
No nucleus Disc shaped Red because they contain haemoglobin 5-6 mill per ml Transport O2 and co2
Thrombocytes
Have nucleus
Produce fibrin threads that form a web
Smaller than erythrocytes
Blood clot and scab formation
Role of haemoglobin
Binds and separates with oxygen to transport oxygen to the body tissues
4 things that are transported in plasma
- soluble food molecules
- wastes
- hormones
- antibodies
Donation process
- Hemoglobin test so person won’t become anemic
- Questionnaire makes sure person is low risk
- Blood pressure temperature check make sure person is healthy enough
- Blood donation
- blood screening checks to make sure blood is useable no disease
Safe guards set up to protect donator and recipient
Clean
Confidential
Don’t become anemic
Screening is done on all blood
Arteries
Large Thick muscular walls Very elastic High blood pressure Transports oxygenated blood Blood transported away from heart
Veins
Large Prevent back flow of blood because of valves Not elastic Low blood pressure Transports deoxygenated blood Blood transported towards the heart
Capillaries
Microscopic
1 cell wall thick
Not very elastic
Medium blood pressure
Transports oxygenated blood and deoxygenated
Direction blood is transported from arteries to veins through the capillaries
5 materials that are transported between cells and capillaries
Carbon dioxide Oxygen Hormones Nutrients Nitrogenous wastes
Pathway blood takes through the heart
Deoxygenated-vena cava-right atrium-tricuspid valve- right ventricle-pulmonary valve-pulmonary arteries-lungs pick up oxygen-pulmonary veins- left atrium-mitral valve-left ventricle- aortic valve- aorta- body
Systole vs diastole
Systole occurs when heart contracts mitral valve closes pulmonary and aortic open.
Diastole heart relaxes atrioventricular valves open semi lunar valves close.
