25
Respiration
The exchange of gases. | Both in the lungs and at the body’s cells is critical to support life
26
Cardiovascular system
The system made up of the heart (Cardio) and the blood vessels (Vascular) Also called circulatory system
27
Atria
The two upper chambers of the heart. There is the right atrium which receives deoxygenated blood returning from the body and the left atrium which receives oxygenated blood returning from the lungs
28
Ventricles
The two lower chambers of the heart there is a right ventricle (which sends oxygen poor blood to the lungs) and a left ventricle (which sends oxygen rich blood to the body)
29
Venae cavae
Superior and the inferior vena cavae Are two large veins that return blood to the heart
30
Artery
Any blood vessel carrying blood away from the heart
31
Coronary arteries
blood vessels that supply the muscle of the heart
32
Pulmonary veins
The vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs the left atrium of the heart
33
Vein
Any blood vessel returning blood to the heart
34
venule
The smallest kind of vein
35
Aorta
The largest artery in the body
36
Pulmonary artery
The vessels that carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs
37
Carotid artery
Major artery of the neck
38
Femoral artery
Major artery supplying the legs
39
Brachial artery
Artery of the upper arm, the site of the pulse checked during infancy CPR
40
Radial artery
Artery of the lower arm; artery felt when taking the pulse at the Thumb side of the wrist
41
Posterior tibial artery
Arteries supplying the foot, behind the medial ankle (malleolus)
42
Arteriole
Smallest kind of artery
43
Capillary
Tiny blood vessel’s where gases nutrients and waste products exchange between the body cells and the bloodstream
44
Composition of blood
* Plasma * Red and White Blood Cells * platelets
45
Blood pressure
The pressure caused by blood exerting force against the walls of blood vessels. Usually arterial blood pressure is measured
46
Systolic blood pressure
The pressure created in the arteries when the left ventricle contracts and forces blood out into circulation
47
Diastolic Blood pressure
The pressure in the arteries When the left ventricle is refilling.
48
Perfusion
The supply of oxygen and nutrients to and removal of wastes from the cells and tissues of the body as a result of the flow of blood through capillaries
49
hypoperfusion
In ability of the body to adequately circulate blood to the body’s cells to supply them with oxygen and nutrients. A life-threatening condition also called shock
50
Lymphatic system
The system composed of organs tissues and vessels that help to maintain the fluid balance of the body and contribute to the bodies immune system
51
Nervous system
The system of brain,spinal cord and nerves that govern sensations movement and thought
52
Central Nervous System
Composed of the brain and spinal cord
53
Peripheral Nervous System
The nerves that enter and leave the spinal cord and travel between the brain and organs without passing through the spinal cord Two types: Sensory and motor
54
Autonomic nervous system
The division of the peripheral nervous system that controls involuntary motor functions
55
Mouth and esophagus
Only parts of the digestive system that is not in the abdominal cavity
56
Stomach
Part of Digestion System | Between esophagus and small intestines where digestion begins
57
Small intestines
Part of digestion system Between stomach and large intestines - divides into Duodenum, Jejunum and ileum Receives partially digested food and continues. - Nutrients absorbed by body through its walls
58
Large intestines
Part of digestion system | Removes water from waste products then moved to Colon
59
Liver
Part of digestion system - produces bile which is excreted into small intestines - assists in breakdown of fats
60
Gallbladder
Part of Digestive System | Storage system for bike from the Liver
61
Thyroid cartilage
Wing shaped plate of cartilage that sits anterior to the larynx and forms the Adam’s apple
62
Cricoid cartilage
A ring shaped structure Forms the lower portion of the larynx Has 16 C shaped rings
63
Pharynx
The area directly posterior to the mouth and nose. It is made up of the oropharynx and a nasopharynx
64
Larynx
The voicebox
65
Trachea
The wind pipe, the structure that connects the pharynx to the lungs
66
Bronchi
The two large sets of branches that come off the trachea and enter the Longs. There are right and left bronchi
67
Diaphragm
The muscular structure that divides the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity a major muscle of respiration
68
Intercostal muscles
The muscles of the rib cage with the help of the diaphragm that help with inhalation and exhalation
69

Main pacemaker for the heart
73
Atrioventricular node
Secondary pacemaker in heart
74
Plasma
Fluid portion in blood vessels
75
Red blood cells
Carry oxygen
76
