  • Channels that carry blood throughout your body
    BLOOD VESSELS
  • Circulatory system is made up of?
    HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS
  • Two Classes/Systems of Blood Vessels
    PULMONARY AND SYSTEMIC SYSTEM
  • What is Pulmonary System?
    TRANSPORT BLOOD FROM THE RIGHT VENTRICLE OF THE HEART TO THE LUNGS AND BACK TO THE LEFT ATRIUM
  • What is Systemic System?
    TRANSPORT BLOOD FROM THE LEFT VENTRICLE OF THE HEART THROUGH ALL PARTS OF THE BODY
  • Functions of Circulatory System
    CARRIES BLOOD, EXCHANGES NUTRIENTS, TRANSPORTS SUBSTANCES, HELPS REGULATE BLOOD PRESSURE AND, DIRECTS BLOOD FLOW TO THE TISSUES
  • Three Main Types of Blood Vessels
    ARTERIES, CAPILLARIES, AND VEINS
  • Arteries (description)
    BRIGHT-RED, OXYGENATED, NO VALVES, PULSE IS PRESENT, CARRY BLOOD AWAY FROM THE HEART
  • Three Categories of Arteries
    ELASTIC, MUSCULAR, AND ARTERIOLES
  • What is the largest and smallest artery vessel?
    AORTA AND ARTERIOLES
  • Capillaries (description)
    EXCHANGE OF GASES OR SUBSTANCES OCCUR, THINNER WALLS THAN ARTERIES, CONNECTS ARTERIES AND VEINS
  • Smallest Blood Vessels
    CAPILLARIES
  • Veins (description)
    DARK-RED, DEOXYGENATED, WITH VALVE, NO PULSE, CARRY BLOOD TOWARD THE HEART
  • Smallest to Largest Veins
    VENULES, SMALL VEINS, MEDIUM-SIZED VEINS, LARGE VEINS
  • What are the Three Tunics?
    TUNICA INTIMA, TUNICA MEDIA, AND TUNICA EXTERNA/ADVENTITIA
  • Innermost layer/Direct contact during blood flow/Simple squamous epithelium
    TUNICA INTIMA
  • Middle Layer/Smooth Muscle Layer
    TUNICA MEDIA
  • Outermost Layer/Connective Tissue/Nerves & Self-Vessels
    TUNICA EXTERNA/ADVENTITIA
  • What are the Heart Layers?

    PERICARDIUM, MYOCARDIUM, AND ENDOCARDIUM
  • Outermost Layer of the Heart
    EPICARDIUM
  • Main constituent of the heart and the thickest layer of all three heart layers. It is a muscle layer that enables heart contractions.
    MYOCARDIUM
  • Innermost Layer of the Heart
    ENDOCARDIUM
  • Arteries vs. Veins
    BLOOD, COLOR OF BLOOD, VALVES, PULSE
  • Stop the blood from going in the wrong direction
    VALVES
  • Surround the veins so that when the muscles contract, the veins are squeeze and the blood been pushed along the vessels
    BODY MUSCLES
  • SVC & IVC
    VENA CAVA
  • Smallest vein vessels
    VENULES
  • Returns tissue fluid to the bloodstream, protects the body by removing microorganisms and impurities, processes lymphocytes, and delivers fats absorbed from the small intestine to the bloodstream
    LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
  • What is Lymphocytes?

    TYPE OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS IN THE VERTEBRATE IMMUNE SYSTEM
  • What is Lymphatic Vessels?
    THIN TUBE THAT CARRIES LYMPH AND WBC THROUGH THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
  • Referred to as "the river of life"
    BLOOD
  • Adult has approx. ___ liters of blood
    5
  • __ are formed elements/cells
    45%
  • __fluid (plasma in circulation w/fibrinogen)
    55%
  • Pale yellow fluid (91% water; 7% proteins; 2% ions, nutrients, gases, waste products, and regulatory substances)
    PLASMA
  • Plasma is composed of
    ALBUMIN, GLOBULIN, FIBRINOGEN
  • Makes up 58% of plasma proteins

    ALBUMIN
  • 38% of plasma proteins (antibodies and complement)
    GLOBULIN
  • Clotting factor; 4% of plasma proteins

    FIBRINOGEN
  • Three Formed Elements
    RBC, WBC, AND PLATELETS
