CDS Flashcards
(62 cards)
The blood consist:
Blood cells & Plasma
The transport system of the body
Cardiovascular System
is a four chambered, hollow muscular organ approximately the size of your fist
Heart
Blood cells
- Erythrocytes - Red Blood Cells
- Leucocytes
- Thrombocytes
Location of Heart
o Superior surface of diaphragm
o Left of the midline
o Anterior to the vertebral column, posterior to the sternum
Components of Cardiovascular System
blood, heart and blood vessels.
Distributing channel
Arteries
is fluid portion of the CDS
Plasma
The CDS supplies _____ and remove______
supplies nutrients to and remove waste products from various tissue of body.
Arteriole includes
- Terminal Arteriole
- Meta arteriole
- Thoroughfare
- Channel/preferred
The capillaries are
- One cell thick
- Serves the Respiratory System
Function of Cardiovascular System
• Transport nutrients, hormones • Remove waste products • Gaseous exchange • Immunity • Blood vessels transport blood o Carries oxygen and carbon dioxide o Also carries nutrients and wastes • Heart pumps blood through blood vessels
Blood vessels includes:
o Arteries
o Capillaries
o Veins
Separates the arteries and veins
capillaries
General structure of the Blood vessels
- Tunica intima
- Tunica media
- Tunica advenitia
microscopic vessels
Capillaries
• A closed network of tubes
Blood Vessels
Classification of Blood Vessels
- Conducting Vessels
- Distributing Vessels
- Resistance Vessels
- Exchange Vessels
- Capacitance / Reservoir Vessels
Functions of Heart
- Generating blood pressure
- Routing blood
- Heart separates pulmonary and systemic circulations
- Ensuring one-way blood flow
- Heart valves ensure one-way flow
- Regulating blood supply
- Changes in contraction rate and force match blood delivery to changing metabolic needs
The arteries are
- Thick walled tubes
- Elastic Fibers
- Circular Smooth Muscle
• They are the thickest blood vessels
Arteries
Repeated branching
arteries
The arteries carry blood high in oxygen known as
oxygenated blood (oxygen rich blood)
The arteries are accompanied by
vein and nerves
