Red OR Red blood cells
50
leuc/o
White OR White blood cells
51
reticul/o
Reticulocyte ## Footnote A reticulocyte is an immature red blood cell (RBC) that is produced in the bone marrow. Reticulocytes are released into the bloodstream, where they mature into RBCs within one to two days.
52
myel/o

56
-penia
Lack of OR Deficiency
57
Find the most common name and Describe the Thrombocytes
Thrombocytes also known as Platelets job is to protect the body against bleeding through clotting
58
-aemia
Condition of blood
59
-poiesis
Formation
60
card/i/o
Heart
61
valv/o
Valve
62
vas/o

Vessel
69
aort/o
Aorta OR Great Vessel
70
Find the most common name and Describe the Leukocytes
The Leukocyte also known as the WBC (White Blood Cell) job is to provide the body with protection against infection or disease / Plays an immune response to protect the body
71
arter/i/o
Artery
72
ather/o

74
What are Capillaries job in the body?
Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide into and out of the tissues layers.
75
What is Vasoconstriction?
During vasoconstriction, the muscle layer (Tunica Media) narrows, and reducing the space inside the artery or vein (Tunica Intima)
76
What is Vasodilation?
During vasodilation, the muscle layer (Tunica Media) of the blood vessel retracts, widening the space inside the artery or vein (Tunica Intima)
77

Transportation, Regulation, Protection
78
Explain why venous blood is much darker than arterial blood
The Venous Blood is darker because it is deoxygenated, and the Arterial Blood is brighter/lighter because it is oxygenated
79
Find the most common name and Describe the Erythrocyte
The Erythrocyte also known as RBC (Red Blood Cell) job is to supply oxygen to the cells and tissues around the body.
80
On average, what percentage of the blood volume is pumped by each ventricle in a minute?
100%
81
What's the average amount of blood per person?
4L - 6L of blood
82
What's the normal pH range of blood?
7.35 - 7.45

5L OR The entire body's blood supply
84
What are 4 lifestyle factors that contribute to heart disease?
Smoking/Vaping, Diet high in fats, salts, and (LDL) Cholesterol
85
What is Acidosis? ( As- cid- do- sis)
Acidosis is when your blood level are to Acidic OR When your blood pH level is below 7.35
86
What are some strategies to improve heart health?
Regular walks or runs OR Quitting smoking by using Nicotine replacement therapy OR Start a diet full of fruits and vegetables OR Therapy for constant stress
87

89
What is the difference of Heart Attack vs. Cardiac Arrest?
A Heart Attack primarily occurs when there is a blockage of the Coronary Arteries, whereas Cardiac Arrest is when the Cardiac Conduction System is failing.
90
Define blood pressure
The pressure the blood puts against the blood vessels walls
91
What is the primary function of the Coronary Arteries?
To provide oxygenated blood to the heart muscle
92
Define Systolic blood pressure
The pressure blood put against blood vessel walls during a contraction of the heart
93
What is a Heart Attack?
A Heart Attack is when blood supply to the heart muscles gets blocked therefore the cells cannot make ATP leading to the muscle cells death and losing function in the heart.
94
Define Diastolic blood pressure
The pressure blood puts against blood vessels when the heart relaxes
95
What does the mnemonic "Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas, Says GRANdpa BEN" mean?
The mnemonic helps memorize the names, abundance and types of WBCs (White Blood Cells) Neutrophils -Never Lymphocytes -Let Monocytes -Monkeys Eosinphils -Eat Basophils -Bananas Granulocytes -GRANdpa BEN - Basophils -Eosinphils -Neutrophils
