Q

Description and role of Red Blood Cells

A

Contains hemoglobin; helps carry oxygen from lungs ot the body and retuans carbon dioxide from the body tothe lungs so it can be exhaled.

Q

Description and role of Veins

Study These Flashcards
A

Carry blood from the tissues back to the heart. Contraction and relaxation of muscles assists movement of blood to the heart. Valves in veins prevent backward flow of blood.

21
Q

Description and role of Capillaries

Study These Flashcards
A

A small network of vessels. Feeds muscles, joints, tissues and organs in clusters.

22
Q

The procees of blood vessels.

Study These Flashcards
A

Heart to arteries to arterioles to capillaries to venules to veins to heart

23
Q

Atrium

Study These Flashcards
A

The receiving chamber of the heart

24
Q

Ventricle

Study These Flashcards
A

The propulsion chamber of the heart

25
Septum
Seperates the two ventricles and the two main atrium
26
Vena cava
Returns blood from the systematic system to the right atrium
27
Pulmonary Artery
Carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs via circulatory system
28
Pulmonary Vein
Carries blood from lungs to left atrium
29
Aorta
Carries blood from left ventricle to the system circuit around the body
30
Atrioventricular Valves
Forced shut as the ventricles pressure increases, preventing back flow of blood into the atria when the ventircles are pumping, theyre called the tricuspid (between the right atrium and right ventricle) and bicuspid valve (between the left atrium and left ventricle)
31
Pulmonary Circuit
Circulates blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs and back to the heart
32
Sysetemic Circuit
Pumps blood from the left side of heart out to all body tissuees and then back to right side
33
What are the two types of blood circuits created by the heart
Pulmonary and sysematic circuit.
34
Description of the Pulmonary Circuit
Deoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium via 3 viens; superior/inferior vena cava and the coronary sinus. From there blood flows into the right ventricle, pumoing it to the lungs via left anf right pulmonary ateries. In the lungs co2 is released and o2 is picked up.
35
Description of the Sysematic Circuit
Oxygenated blood enters the left atrium via 4 pulmonary veins. The blood flows into the left ventricle, from where it is pumped up through the aorta and out fo the upper and lower body via a number of ateries.
36
What are the 4 major areas of the Sysematic Circuit?
Cornary Circulation Portal Circulation Muscle Circulation Skin Circulation
37
Heart Rate
Number of beats per minute
38
Possible increases of heart rate
Fear, exercise, food ingestion, excitement smoking, age, temperature changes
39
Blood pressure
Pressure of the blood in the arteries as the heart pumps it around the body.
40
Systolic Pressure
Known as peak pressure; when blood flow and pressure surge each time the heart contracts
41
Diastolic Pressure
The pressure falls as the heart relaxes to fill
42
Stroke Volume
The volume of blood ejected into the aorta by one ventricle during contraction (systole)
43
Cardiac Output
The total volume of blood pumped from a ventricle per minute.
44
Maximum Heart Rate
Reaching the maximum point in the heart rate where it eventually levels off.
45
Cardiac Output Adaption to Exercise
Increases linearly with increase on intesity to exhuastion
46
SV Adaption to Exercise
Increases due to more blood returning to heart. Maximal SV occurs during sub-maximal work.
47
Systolic BP Adaption to Exercise
Increases linearly with increased exercise intensity due to an increase in Q
48
Overtime with training, the heart will become;
stronger | restig heart heart rate will decrease
49
Overtime with training, the heart will become;
Stronger | Resting heart rate will decrease
