filtration
28
nutrients move from the blood into the tisssue fluid
filtration
29
albumin in the blood creates a colloid osmosis pressure that pulls water and dissolved materials
osmosis
30
waste products move from tissue fluid into the blood
osmosis
31
in the pulmonary circulation the pathway begins where? what does it pump blood through?
rigtht ventricle,pulmonary artery to the lungs
32
blood in pulmonary veins returns to the
left atrium
33
what is the purpose of the pumonary pathway
exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood in pulmonary capillaries and in the alveoli of the lungs
34
where does the systemic circulation pathway begin
left ventricle and pumps blood through aorta to the body
35
blood in thr superior and inferior caval veins returns
to the right atrium
36
what is the purpose of the systemic circulation pathway
exchange materials between the blood in the systemic capillaries and the cells throughout body

71
site of exchange of materials between fetal blood and material blood and what are some of the materials exchanged
placenta. oxygen co2 and nurtients and waste products
72
processes of exchange
diffusion or active transport
73
fetus is connected to placenta by the umbilical cord which contains what
2 umbilical arteries and 1 umbilical vein
74
umbilical arteries carry blood from
fetus to placenta
75
within the body of the fetus the umbilical vein branches into how many vessels
2
76
the first branch of umbilical vein takes blood where
fetal liver
77
the second branch of umbilical veins is called what and where does it take blood
inferior vena cava which returns blood to the right atrium of the fetal heart
78
within the fetal heart what is an opening in the interatrial septum that permits some blood flow frombthe right atrium to the left atrium
foramen ovale
79
within the foreman ovale flow what does the blood do
bypass the fetal lungs
80
what is just outside the fetal heart and is a short vessel that permits blood to flow from the pulmonary artery to the aorta
ductess arterious
81
what is the purpise of the ductus arteriosus
permits most fetal blood to bypass the lungs
82
after birth what does the ductus venosus do
constricts and becomes nonfunctional
83
after birth what happens to the foramen ovale and the ductus arteriosus
the foraman ovale is closed by a flap on the left side and the ductus constricts . this ensures normal pulmonary circulation will be established
84
what happens to the velosity of blood flow when a cross sectional area of the vascular system increases
decreases
85
what is venous return
the amount of blood that returns to the heart
86
venous return is essential to maintain what
cardiac output
