25
Some of the white blood cells stay in the ------- --------, where they
Lymphatic system--- where they attack invading pathogens.
26
Infection-fighting blood cells are called
White blood cells, are found in lymph nodes.
27
Swollen lymph nodes might be an early clue for
Infection.
28
When bacteria or other pathogens cause an infection the number
Of white blood cells may multiply greatly, the lymph nodes fill with white blood cells that are fighting the infection, and become swollen and painful.
29
Lymph vessels are the thin walled vessels of the lymphatic system. They carry -------- back to the -------- --------. From the lymph nodes, the fluid is returned to the -------------- System through the ----------- ---------. The vessels have ------- inside to stop lymph from flowing backward.
``` Lymph Lymph nodes Cardiovascular Lymph vessels Valves ```
30
Is the soft tissue inside of bones where blood cells are produced.
Bone marrow
31
Part of your skeletal system, are very important to your
Lymphatic system
32
Small lymphatic organs at the back of the throat and tongue. Are more visible at the back of the throat.
Tonsils
33
Defend the body against infection. White blood cells in their tissue trap pathogens. Sometimes they get infected, becoming swollen.
Tonsils
34
An infection of the tonsils
Tonsillitis
35
Is an organ in the chest, some white blood cells made in the bone marrow finish developing here. From this organ the white blood cells travel through the lymphatic system to other areas of the body.
Thymus
36
This organ gets smaller as a person gets older.
Thymus
37
The thymus is part of the ------------- system.
Endocrine
38
Is the largest lymphatic organ. It stores white blood cells and also allows them to mature. As blood flow through the --------, white blood cells attack or mark pathogens in the blood. If pathogens cause an infection, the --------may also release white blood cells into the bloodstream.
Spleen
39
What are the parts of the lymphatic system?
``` Lymph nodes, Lymph vessels, Bone marrow, Tonsils, Thymus, Spleen ```
40
What is the circulatory system?
Heart, blood, blood vessels
41
Is a type of cancer that often begins in a lymph node
Lymphoma
42
It can cause a swelling in the node called a
Tumor
43
Different types of lymphoma
Lymphedema, Filariasis, Bubonic plague
44
Is a swelling of body tissues caused by a blockage or injury to lymph vessels. Lymph vessels are unable to drain the lymph from a certain area, and that area becomes swollen.
Lymphedema
45
Is a disease caused by threadlike worms called nematodes. The nematodes may enter lymphatic vessels and block them, preventing lymph from moving around the body
Filariasis
46
Threadlike worms called
Nematodes
47
A person gets infected with filariasis worms by
Being bitten by an infected fly. Filariasis is rare in the USA, but is common in developing countries
48
Is the organ system that carries nutrients, hormones to body cells and waste products to body cells. It Helps keep the different parts of your body at an even temperature. Is made up of heárt, blood vessels and blood
Cardiovascular system
49
Is the pump that sends blood around the body, it is the size of your ------- and is almost at the center of your -------. When it's muscle--------, it squeezes the blood ------- the heart. This squeezing creates a --------- that pushes blood through the body.
``` Heart Fist Chest Contracts Inside Pressure ```
50
Two sides of the heart. Are separated by a ------- wall.
Right side, left side | Thick wall
51
Pumps oxygen -poor blood to the lungs
The right side of the heart
52
Pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body.
The Left side of the heart
53
Each side of the heart has an upper chamber and a lower chamber. Each upper chamber is called -------- Each lower chamber is called ----------
Atrium (upper chamber) | Ventricle (lower chamber)
54
Blood enters the --------- and is pumped down to the ---------. Flaplike structures called --------- are located between the ---------- and the -------------, and in places where large vessels are attached to the heart. As blood moves through the heart, these ------- close to prevent blood from going backward.
Atrium Ventricles Valves Between the atria and ventricle
55
The lub dub sound of a beating heart is caused by the
Valves closing
56
receives oxygen rich blood from the lungs
Left atrium
57
Receives oxygen poor blood from the body
Right atrium
58
Pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs
Right ventricle
59
Pumps oxygen rich blood to the body
Left ventricle
60
Is a type of connective tissue that is part of the cardiovascular system, it serves as transport system, providing supplies for cells, carrying chemical messages, and removing wastes so cells can maintain homeostasis.
Blood
61
What is blood made out of? | How long does blood travels through your body?
Contains cells, fluid, and other substances. It travels miles and miles of blood vessels to reach every cell in your body.
62
Blood travels throughout your body in tubes called
Blood vessels
63
Types of blood vessels
Artery, capillary, vein
64
Carry oxygen rich blood away from the heart
Arteries
65
Deliver oxygen rich blood to body cells and take oxygen poor blood away from body cells
Capillaries
66
Carry oxygen poor blood back to the heart
Veins
67
Each heart beat pumps blood into your arteries at high pressure, which is your
Blood pressure
68
What are arteries made out of?
Have thick walls with a layer of smooth muscle
69
Blood pressure pushes blood through the arteries. Artery walls are --------- and -------- to withstand the pressure. N--------, --------and other ---------- must leave the body cells and are --------- ---------by blood.
Strong And stretch Nutrients, oxygen and other substances Carried away
70
The gas exchange takes place because capillary walls are only ---------------. capillaries are so ------ that blood cells must pass through them in a ------------ ------.
One cell thick, Narrow, Single file!
71
No cell in the body is more than
Three or four cells away from a capillary
72
Capillaries lead to
Veins
73
Blood in veins is not under as much pressure as blood in
Arteries is.
74
What keep the blood from flowing backward?
Valves
75
What helps blood move in the veins?
The contraction of skeletal muscles around the veins
76
What is blood made of?
Plasma, platelets, and red and white blood cells.
77
An adult human body has about
5 liters of blood. You might have less than that.
78
The fluid part of the blood is called
Plasma
79
Are tiny pieces of larger cells found in bone marrow. These only last for 5 to 10 days, but they have an important role.
Platelets
80
Help keep you healthy by fighting pathogens such as bactéria and viruses.
White blood cells
81
Some white blood cells squeeze out of blood vessels to search for Other white blood cells form
Pathogens, when they find them they destroy it. Antibodies
82
Are chemicals that identify pathogens
Antibodies
83
White blood cells also keep you healthy by
Destroying body cells that have died or been damaged.
84
Are disk shaped cells that do not have a nucleus. They bring oxygen to every cell in your body.
Red blood cells
85
Each red blood cell has
Hemoglobin
86
Is an oxygen carrying protein, it clings to the oxygen molecules you inhale.
Hemoglobin
87
What does cell need to carry out life functions?
Oxygen
88
The disk shape of red blood cells helps them squeeze into
Capillaries
89
How would the body be affected if red blood cells had low levels of hemoglobin?
Cells will have difficulties carrying out life functions
90
Blood in veins is under less pressure than arterial blood because
Veins have larger internal diameters than arteries do. Veins carry larger volumes of blood more slowly.
91
The circulation between the heart and the rest of the body is called
Systemic circulation
92
The flow of blood between the heart and the lungs is called
Pulmonary circulation
93
blood is pumped to the lungs where carbon dioxide leaves the blood and oxygen enters the blood
In pulmonary circulation
94
Blood moves around the body
In systemic circulation
95
Blood moves in two loops or circuits around the body
Pulmonary circulation, and systemic circulation
96
What are some problems that affect the cardiovascular system?
Smoking, poor diet, stress, physical inactivity, heredity.
97
Cardiovascular diseases
Atherosclerosis, hipertension, heart attacks.
98
Is a hardening of artery walls caused by the build up of cholesterol and other lipids. The buildup causes to become narrower and less elastic, blood can't flow easily. When an artery is blocked, oxygen cannot reach the heart and the person may have a heart attack.
Atherosclerosis
99
Is abnormally high blood pressure. Atherosclerosis may be the cause in part for it. The higher the blood person the higher the risk for heart attack and strokes there is. If not treated can also cause kidney damage and shorten life expectancy. Can be controlled with diet and sometimes with medicine
Hypertension
100
Happens when an artery that supplies blood to the heart becomes clogged and the heart muscle tissue that depends on that's blood supply does not get oxygen. If enough heart muscle cells get damaged, the heart may stop beating.
Heart attack
101
Can happen when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or bursts. That part of the brain receives no oxygen. Without oxygen the brain cells die. Brain damage that occurs during a stroke can affect many parts of the body. Can experience paralysis or difficulty in speaking.
Stroke
102
The group of organs that takes in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide
Respiratory system
103
When a person inhales, air is drawn into the lungs
Takes in oxygen
