regulates the heart's rhythm by sending electrical impulses through the heart
56
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
good cholesterol, from whole grains
57
Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
bad cholestrol, from animal protein
58
Cholestrol
fixes blood vessels but LDL continues to build, potentially causing a blockage which can only be reversed by HDL, normal cholesterol level is ~200 or less
59
Electrical Current in the Heart
SA node -> atrial contraction -> AV node -> ventricular contraction -> fibrillation
60
Leukocyte
pronounced nucleus, fights infections in the body which elevates the count AKA white blood cell (WBC)
61

62
Thrombocyte
plug holes, essential for blood clotting AKA platelets
63
Plasma
carries ions and antibodies
64
Anemia
decreased RBC count
65
Iron deficiency
due to low dietary iron intake, the body can't produce as many RBCs; tx - consume more iron
66
Aplastic Anemia
bone marrow isn't able to produce RBCs, usually d/t chemotherapy
67
Hemolytic Anemia
disease/trauma causing destruction of RBCs
68
