definition of cardiovascular system
A collection of organs whose primary function is to transport blood around your body to deliver nutrients to and take waste products away from each of your body’s cells.
additional functions of cardiovascular system (4)
-transports gasses (o^2 to cells and CO^2 away from cells) nitrates, glucose, hormones and other nutrients and waste products
-contain white blood cells to help fight infection
-stabilize the body’s pH levels
-help the body maintain its constant internal temp.
A connective tissue made up of two types of cells (RBCs & WBCs), cell parts (Platelets), and plasma (fluid part of blood).
blood
The fluid part of blood that is a mixture of water, minerals, nutrients, sugars, proteins and other substances. (RBCs, WBCs & Platelets float in the plasma)
plasma
Blood cells that transport oxygen to each of your body cells.
red blood cells
Blood cells that help you stay healthy by destroying pathogens (things that cause disease) and helping clean wounds.
White blood cells
a cell fragment that helps clot the blood
platelets
blood flows away from the heart
Arteries
blood flows towards the heart
veins
capillaries
arteries connect to veins. This is where nutrient transfer occurs
the upper chamber of the heart
Atrium
the lower chamber of the heart
Ventricle
label heart
yes
Flaplike structures that are located between the atria and ventricles to prevent blood from flowing backwards.
valve
what two parts are valves found in
heart and large veins
where is blood made
bones
Systemic circulation
The circulation of blood between the heart and the body. (It starts off oxygen rich and delivers oxygen & other nutrients (glucose, & hormones) and picks up carbon dioxide & other wastes
from all the body cells. It returns to the heart oxygen poor.)
pulmonary circulation
The circulation of blood between your heart and lungs. (It starts off oxygen poor and goes to the lungs to pick up oxygen and drop off carbon dioxide. It returns to the heart oxygen rich.)
Coronary circulation
The circulation of blood to the heart. (keeps the heart alive)
