Q

Plasma

A

Liquid portion of blood

16
Q

Pulmonary valve

A

Flapper cost between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery

17
Q

Right atrium

A

Receives blood is it returned from the body cells

18
Q

Right ventricle

A

Receives blood from the right atrium and pumps the blood into the pulmonary artery

19
Q

Septum

A

Membrane wall that divides the two cavities

20
Q

Systole

A

Period Of work or contraction of the heart

21
Q

Thrombocytes

A

But still required for clotting of blood cells

22
Q

Tricuspid valve

A

Flapper cost between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart

23
Q

Vein

A

Blood vessel that carries blood back to the heart

24
Arrhythmia
Abnormal heart rhythm (aorta contracts)
25
Systole process
Right ventricle into pulmonary artery to longs for oxygen. Left ventricle to aorta sending blood to other parts
26
Conductive pathway steps
SA node. Pathways throughout aorta. AV node. Purkinje system
27
Arrhythmia tests
Cardiac monitors and electrocardiograms
28
Superior and inferior vena cava
Largest veins in the body
29
What vessels prevent backflow of blood
Vein
30
Most elastic and muscular blood vessels
Arteries
31
Substances dissolved in plasma
Proteins carbs potassium calcium
32
Substances transported by blood
Oxygen carbon dioxide metabolic waste hormones heat nutrients
33
Erythrocyte function
Carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
34
Leukocyte function
Phagocytosis
35
Thrombocyte function
Help clotting
36
Hemoglobin color (what is blue, what is red)
Bright red equals high and oxygen. Low oxygen equals blue
