Q

What is the role of the circulatory system?

A
  • Provide cells in the body with oxygen and nutrients
  • Remove the cells wastes like toxins and co2 carbon dioxide

SM AP TXT BK

  • All cells in the body need to have oxygen and nutrients, and they need their wastesremoved. These are the main roles of the circulatory system.
  • The heart, blood and blood vessels work together to service the cells of the body. Using the network of
    arteries, veins and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen. From the small intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients anddelivers them to every cell.

Q

What does the right side of the heart do?
(upper right chamber (Atrium)
(lower right chamber(Ventricle)

A
  • the upper chamber takes in deoxygenated blood w/co2 CD
  • squeezes it to the lower chamber (ventricle)
  • artery to lungs takes co2 and replaces it with oxygen

SM AP TXT BK

The right side of the heart; The right upper chamber (atrium) takes in deoxygenated blood that is loaded with carbon dioxide. The blood is squeezed down into the right lower chamber (ventricle) and taken by an artery to the lungs where the carbon dioxide
is replaced with oxygen.

Q

What does the LEFT side of the heart do?
(upper LEFT chamber (Atrium)
(lower right chamber(Ventricle)

A
  • oxygenated blood enters left upper chamber (atrium) pumped to left lower chamber (ventricle)
    then to aorta (an artery0
    then blood starts journey around body again

SM AP TXT BK
The left side of the heart; The oxygenated blood travels back to the heart, this time entering the left upper chamber (atrium). It is pumped into the left lower chamber (ventricle) and then into the aorta (an artery). The blood starts its journey around the
body once more.

Q

Ateries are muscular, T or F?

A

True

SM AP TXT BK

  • Arteries; Oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart along arteries, which are muscular. Arteries divide like tree branches until they are slender. The largest artery is the aorta, which connects to the heart and picks up oxygenated blood from the left ventricle. The only artery that picks up deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery, which runs between the heart and lungs.

Q

What are Capillaries?

A
  • the smallest blood vessels

SM AP TXT BK

Capillaries; The arteries eventually divide down into the smallest blood vessel, the
capillary.

-Capillaries are so small that blood cells can only move through them one at
a time. Oxygen and food nutrients pass from these capillaries to the cells.

-Capillaries are also connected to veins, so wastes from the cells can be transferred to the blood.

Q

Veins have one way valves instead of muscles to stop the blood running back the wrong way, T/F?

Study These Flashcards
A

TRUE

SM AP TXT BK

  • Veins have one-way valves instead of muscles, to stop blood from running back the wrong way. Generally, veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart,where it can be sent to the lungs.
  • The exception is the network of pulmonary veins,
    which take oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
21

Study These Flashcards
A

The heart is a pump. It pumps blood around body

25
V/C: What type of system is the Circulatory System?
A transport system
26
Describe heart pumping in and out Co2 & O?
LFT UPPER CHAMBER – Atrium LFT LOWER CHAMBER – Ventricle RT UP CH Co2 squeezed down RT LOW CH Into LUNGS Co2 replaced with O LFT UP CH O squeezed/pumped down LFT LOW CH INTO AORTA/atery Around BODY Cycles repeats UP RT CH Co2 LOW RT CH LUNGS – exhale inhale Co2 out – O in UP LFT CH O LOW LFT CH Into Aorta Around body
27
Largest Vein?
vena cava travels up alongside the abdominal aorta with blood from the lower part of the body.
28
V/C: What are Veins? What do they do? What is the exception?
Veins – VALVES One-way VALVES/trap doors Stops blood going wrongway NO muscles Carry DEoxygenated blood From body TO heart, sent to the lungs. RELY ON MUSCULAR SKELETAL SYSTEM to help pump blood backup to heart EXCEPTION: NETWORK of PULMONARY VEINS Take (Co2) DE-OXBlood From LUNGS To the heart. Walking/Inversions/Legs up wall great for this. IF not using muscles enough = blood pooling/varicous veins in that region.
29
What are Arteries? What do they do?
Arteries – Smooth Auto MUSCLES THICK SMOOTH MUSCLE Autonomic nervous system Contract on auto Carry blood AWAY from heart Arteries divide like tree branches Big to small LARGEST artery is AORTA Aorta connects to heart, picks up oxygenated blood FROM left ventricle.
30
What are Capillaries? What do they do?
Capillaries – Smallest blood vessel 1 cell at a time Oxygen (O)& Food nutrients pass FROM capillaries TO cells. Capillaries are connected to veins Wastes from the cells can be transferred to the blood FROM capillaries
31
What does the heart do?
HEART - Pumps blood around body. Sits inside the chest, in front of the lungs, slightly to left side. Is a double pump made up of four chambers (RT Up/Low & LFT Up/Low) Blood flows in one direction due to heart valves. The contractions of the chambers make the sound of heartbeats.
32
What does the RT side of the heart do?
RT Side HEART RT UPPER Chamber (atrium) Atrium Chamber takes in (Co2) DEOXYgenated blood, w/ carbon dioxide. Blood is squeezed down into the RT LOWER Chamber (ventricle) THEN taken by an artery TO LUNGS, carbon dioxide replaced with oxygen. RT UPPER CHAMBER – Atrium RT LOWER CHAMBER – Ventricle
33
What does the left side of the heart do?
LFT Side HEART OXYgenated blood (O) travels heart, Enters LFT UPPER Chamber (atrium) Pumped into the LFT LOWER Chamber (ventricle) Then into the AORTA (an artery). T Blood starts its journey around the body once more. LFT UPPER CHAMBER – Atrium LFT LOWER CHAMBER – Ventricle
34
Describe the Breathing/Respiratory Circulatory Process?
RT UP CH Co2 squeezed down RT LOW CH Into LUNGS Co2 replaced with O LFT UP CH O squeezed/pumped down LFT LOW CH INTO AORTA/atery Around BODY Cycles repeats UP RT CH Co2 LOW RT CH LUNGS – exhale inhale Co2 out – O in UP LFT CH O LOW LFT CH Into Aorta Around body M5.25 ARTERIES carrying blood AWAY FROM HEART VEINS carrying blood back TO HEART
35
carbon dioxide and oxygen both pass through the heart
Using the network of: -arteries, veins and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen. - From the small intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients and delivers them to every cell.
36
How can Yoga strengthen Circulatory System?
Yoga strengthens Circulatory System: - Giving veins a break/help to push blood back up to heart via the skeletral muscles - Using inversions, legs up wall, Sunsals, Pranayama
37
Which Blood Vessels do what? To/From
Arteries = Blood vessels take O2&Nutrients TO the body/Away from heart Veins = Blood vessels take Co2&Waste FROM the body/TO Heart Arteries (in red) are the blood vessels that deliver blood to the body. Veins (in blue) are the blood vessels that return blood to the heart.30 Apr 2019
38
VIDEO RECAP JUST READ
- Heart is pumping blood - Blood vessels carrying blood - Blood is either rich with nutrients and oxygen OR - Carbon dioxide and waste - Transport these things so that every cell is either GETTING what it needs or getting RID of rubbish. - Arteries = Blood vessels take O2&Nutrients TO the body/Away from heart. - Veins = Blood vessels take Co2&Waste FROM the body/TO Heart. Arteries - thick smooth muscles/autonomic/away from heart Veins - thinner/trap doors/valves/rely on our movement and skeletal muscles to help move blood/blood back to heart Capillaries – 1 cell thick, tiny/oxygen diffuse from cell AND carbon dioxide can diffuse back into the bloodstream
39
Name the Two Parts Of Circulation?
Two Parts Of Circulation 1. Between Heart and Lungs/PULMONARY CIRCULATION 2. Between Heart and Body/SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION
40
41
42
The word pulmonary means?
The word pulmonary means "pertaining to the lungs." It is derived from the Latin root word pulmo, which means lung. If someone has pulmonary disease, this means they have a lung disease
43
Which side of the heart pumps what?
LFT - pumps oxygenated blood to organs RT - pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs The heart The heart is a unidirectional pump. Valves are present to prevent the backflow of blood. The right side pumps deoxygenated blood (low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide) to the lungs. The left side pumps oxygenated blood (high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide) to the organs of the body.
44
45
Explain Circulation Process GOOGLE
Google: Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the vena cava. Blood moves into right ventricle. Blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs. The blood becomes oxygenated in the lungs. Oxygenated blood leaves the lung via the pulmonary vein. Blood enters the left atrium. Blood moves into the left ventricle. Blood is pumped into the aorta, which carries oxygenated blood around the body. This means blood travels through the heart twice in one circulation of the body.
