24
Q

parts of blood

protects body from diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances

25
# parts of blood colorless and no hemoglobin, lifespan-: 11-20 days
wbc
26
# parts of blood larger than rbc, but fewer in number
wbc
27
# parts of blood thrombocytes
platelets
28
# parts of blood for blood clotting or coagulation, aids in wound healing prccess
platelets
29
highways for your blood, are the tubes that carry blood all around your body
blood vessels
30
# parts of blood vessels move blood *away* from heart
arteries
31
# parts of blood vessels move blood *towards* heart
veins
32
# parts of blood vessels smallest part, allows nutrients and gases to diffuse between capillary walls and body cells
capillaries
33
# oxygenated or deoxygenated blood high oxygen concentration, bright red in color
oxygenated blood
34
# oxygenated or deoxygenated blood high carbon dioxide concentration, dark red in color
deoxygenated blood
35
# 3 types of circulation circulation of blood within heart
coronary
36
# 3 types of circulation circulation of blood within heart and lungs
pulmonary
37
# 3 types of circulation circulation of blood within heart and cells of body
systemic
38
# what circulation heart - lungs - heart
pulmonary circulation
39
# what circulation right side of heart, pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs
pulmonary circulation
40
what is the pulmonary circulation?
**right ventricle - pulmonary arteries - lung capillaries - lungs** *- pulmonary veins - left atrium * | bold- deoxygenated blood ; itallics- oxygenated bloood
41
what is the systemic circulation?
*left venticle - aorta - smaller arteries - body organs and tissues * - superior and inferior vena cava - right atrium | bold- deoxygenated blood ; itallics- oxygenated bloood
42
inability of blood to reach coronary arteried
coronary heart disease
43
due to aging or atherosclerosis - arterial wall thickens and hardens
coronary heart disease
44
aka hypertension - due to tightening of arterioles
hypertensive heart disease
45
causes the heart to work harder than normal to force blood through tightened blood vessels
hypertensive heart disease
46
arterial disease related with cholesterol build up inside arterial wall
atherosclerosis
47
results arteries to harden, loose its elasticity, and degenerate
atherosclerosis
48
disorder that results from blockage and hardening of arteries in the brain or neck
stroke
49
common to people with atherosclerosis and hypertension
stroke
50
inability of blood to clot properly - consistent bleeding occurs
hemophilia
51
due to lack of one of the plasma proteins associated with clotting
hemophilia
52
genetically inherited and males are mostly affected
hemophilia
53
condition where the rbc count stays low
anemia
54
due to low hemoglobin level, deficiencies and diseases,
anemia
55
conditions where wbc stays high, dangerous blood disorder
leukemia
