Q

Pulmonary vein

A

Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to left atrium of heart

24
Q

Pulmonary arteries

A

Carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs

25
Pulmonary circuit
Path goes to and from lungs: Right ventricle to pulmonary arteries to lung capillaries to pulmonary veins to left atrium, carries carbon dioxide to lungs, returns oxygen rich blood to heart.
26
Systemic circuit
Path from left ventricle to body back to right atrium carries oxygen rich blood to body tissues. Returns carbon dioxide filled blood to heart.
27
Cross sectional area blood flow
As cross sectional area increases, velocity of the blood decreases
28
Velocity of blood decreases from...
Aorta to arteries to capillaries and increased in venules and veins.
29
As cross sectional area increases....
Blood pressure decreases
30
Oval opening
Opening between 2 atria, acts like a valve. Allows blood flow directly from the right atrium to the left atrium. Allows blood to bypass lungs
31
Arterial duct
Connection between the pulmonary artery and aorta, blood flows there, bypassing lungs
32
Umbilical artery and vein
Umbilical artery takes wasted to the placenta from the fetus, umbilical vein takes nutrients to the fetus from the placenta
33
Venous duct
Connection between umbilical vein and Vena Cava, blood coming from the umbilical vein passes directly to Vena cava, allowing blood to bypass liver
34
Plasma components
Water, plasma proteins, gases, nutrients, salts, wastes | Plasma accounts for 55% of blood volume
35
Purpose of plasma proteins
Albumen, fibrinogen, globulins: | Helps maintain osmotic pressure in blood, transports, blood clotting, infection fighting
36
Salts purpose in plasma
Regulates osmotic pressure, helps in metabolism
37
Red blood cells
Erythrocytes Round disks Carries 02, CO2, H+ Originated in bone marrow
38
White blood cells
Leukocytes Variable, amoeboid Provides immunity Originates in bone marrow and lymphoid tissue
39
Platelets
Thrombocytes Cell fragment shape Helps with blood clotting Originates in bone marrow
40
Blood clotting
Platelets clump at site of peak and help lose it. Release thromboplastin which converts to thrombin. Thrombin then breaks the ends of fibrinogen that converts to fibrin, which forms a lattice over leak to trap blood cells, forming a clot. Once the blood vessel is repaired, plasmin destroys the network.
41
A
Antigen: A Antibody: Anti B Can accept: A, O
42
B
Antigen: B Antibody: Anti A Can accept: B, O
43
AB
Antigen: A and B Antibody: none Can accept: A, B, AB, O
44
O
Antigen: None Antibody: Anti-A, Anti-B Can accept: O
45
Rhésus Factor
Might have antigen D which decides if blood is RH+ or RH- If a mother is RH- and Father is RH+ and baby is RH+ the mother’s system would try and destroy the baby’s RBCs (aka Erythroblastosis)
46
If second baby is RH+....
Agglutination (clumping of blood would occur) RHOgam (an enzyme) can be injected into the mother which would eliminate antibody D
47
Lymphatic system purposes
* takes excess tissue fluid and sends it to circulatory system. * products of fat digestion are absorbed into lacetals which lead to lymph vessels and nodes * lymph nodes produce lymphocytes * lymph nodes are filters and trap bacteria and other debris to purify body fluids
48
Spleen
- largest lump of lymphatic tissue - produces lymphocytes and stores excess blood - can help with blood pressure by storing it or adding blood
49
Thymus gland
- becomes smaller with age | - bi-lobed structure which is important in maturing lymphocytes
50
Tonsils and Appendix
Help remove invading organisms and viruses
51
Lymphatic tissue
Stores excess blood and produces white blood cells
52
Lymph vessels
Fluids only move in one direction, contain lymph veins and capillaries (no lymph arteries)
53
Lymph nodes
Small oval tissues which filter fluids and produce lymphocytes
54
Lacetals
Sacs in vili of digestive system which absorb products of fat digestion
55
Inflammatory response in lymphatic system
Attacks foreign substances (monocytes and neutrophils engulf the bacteria or viruses in amoeboid fashion. Lymphocytes produce antibodies.
56
Antibodies are proteins that...
Attack unwanted proteins which results in agglutination
