Circulatory And Respiratory System Flashcards
(103 cards)
A collection of organs that transport blood throughout the body, the organs in this system include arteries, heart, veins.
Cardiovascular system
The heart, blood and blood vessels make up your
Cardiovascular system
Is the fluid that carries gases, nutrients and wastes throughout the body
Blood
By transporting hormones,nutrients, and oxygen to cells and by carrying wastes away from cells.
The maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing environment
The blood maintains homeostasis
Is a group of organs and tissues that collect the fluid that leaks from blood and returns it to the blood
Lymphatic system
The leaked fluid is called
Lymph
What is part of the body defenses against diseases?
The lymphatic system
A tiny blood vessel that allows an exchange between blood and cells in tissue
Capillaries
A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the body’s organs
Artery
The clear watery fluid that leaks from blood vessels and contains white blood cells, circulates in lymphatic system, returned to bloodstream through lymph vessels
Lymph
Small, bean shaped masses of tissue that remove pathogens and dead cells from the lymph, concentrated in the armpits, neck and groin, high concentration of white blood cells found in lymph nodes
Lymph node
In biology, a vessel that carries blood to the heart
Vein
A collection of organs whose primary function is to take in —– and expel —————-, the organs of this system include
oxygen Carbon dioxide
Lungs, the throat, and the passways that lead to the lungs
What systems help to maintain homeostasis?
Circulatory and lymphatic system
The term circulatory describes both the
Cardiovascular and lymphatic system
Cardiovascular and lymphatic system work together to
Move fluids around your body and protect it from disease
Your moving blood helps to
Keep all parts of your body WARM
Cardiovascular system and lymphatic system are made up of
Vessels
Cardiovascular and lymphatic system are part of your
Body’s defense against bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
Every time your heart pumps, a little —– is forced out of the thin —–of the tiniest blood —— called—— , and the remaining fluid is collected by the —– ———.
Fluid, walls, vessels - CAPILLARIES, LYMPH Capillaries
What absorb particles of dead cells and pathogens from around the body cells?
Lymph capillaries
What carry the fluid, now called lymph to a larger lymph vessels?
Lymph capillaries
When is lymph returned to the cardiovascular system?
When it drains into blood vessels at the base of the neck.
What mature in the lymphatic system?
Certain blood cells, called WHITE blood cells
