Cards

Term
cardiovascular system
Definition

delivers oxygen abd nutrients to your tissues.

takes away co2 and waste.

 

doesnt require ATP

Term

(Blood made of parts)

 

formed elements
(45%)

Definition
white blood cells, red blood cells and platelettes suspended in a watery materix called plasma
Term

(Blood made of parts)

 

Plasma

(55%)

Definition
watery matrix that contains the molecules and cells of the blood
Term
Red Blood Cells
Definition

 

 

picks up oxygen in the lungs and delievers carbon dioxide to the lungs

Term

hemoglobin

(quartenary protein)

Definition

 

 

protein in your blood whose job is to carry oxygen. complex tissue molecule in the center of a iron molecule

 

iron in this causes blood to be red

Term
anemia 
Definition

(lack of oxygen in your blood)

 

a condition in which a person has a reduced oxygen carrying capacity

 

Term

White Blood Cells

(LEUKOCYTES)

Definition

formed elements int he blood that lack a nucleus.

 

fights off bacteria, viruses, and infections

Term

platelettes

 

(thrombcyte)

Definition

fragments of WBCs important in blood clotting.

 

release molecules called clotting factors

 

Term
heart makes the LUB DUB sound
Definition
 The first sound, a ________, coincides with the beginning of ventricular systole and closure of the av valves. The second sound, __________coincides with the beginning of diastole, and the closure of valves in the aorta and pulmonary artery.
Term

systolic pressure

 

(1st #)

Definition

 max pressure that the left aorta is pushing blood out w/

 

pressure recorded in the large artery while the heart is pushing blood out w/

Term
it into the more larger muscular ventricles
Definition
the heart has 4 chambers/. 2 chambers the right and left atria are thin walled structures that collect blood from the major veins and empty
Term
force blood to flow throught the arteries to all part of the body
Definition
the right and left ventricles are chambers w/ powerful muscular walls whose contractions
Term

diastolic pressure

(2nd #)

Definition

pressure recorded while the heart is relaxing

 

 is the pressure in the blood vessles when the heart isnt pumping.

 

(back pressure)

Term
Definition
what does it mean if you have a blood pressure of 110/70?
Term

what are capillaries

(small blood vessles)

Definition
exchanges gases, wastes and nutrients
Term
what are varacose veins
Definition

incompatent valves gives you ________

 

blood get stuck in the veins

 

vavles arent working

Term
will increase the CO2 in the blood which will cause the pH to lower
Definition
an increase in exercise will cause what to happen to your blood
Term
emphysema
Definition
a progressive disease in which some of the aveoli are lost
Term

organs and its functions:

 

STOMACH: pepsin

Definition

(additional liquid called gastric juices is added to food and these juices contain enzymes and hydrolic acids)

 

major enzyme of the stomach. initiates the chemical breakdown of protein

Term
hepatic portal vein
Definition
systems of veins goes from from intestine straight to liver
Term

proximal convoluted tubule

(nephrons)

Definition

responsible for the reabsorbing most of the valuable moolecules filtered from the glomerulus into the bowmans capsule

 

(reabsorb glucose and other nutrients)

Term

loop of henle

 

(nephrons)

Definition

 

job is to regulate the amount of water lost from the kidney

 

part of the kindey involved in the reabsorbtion of water

Term

distal convoluted tubule

 

(nephrons)

Definition

secrete any other materials that need to be removed through urin

 

Term
try before you by
Definition
tricuspid caomes before bicuspid
Term
ETS
Definition
is why we breath in oxygen to make ATP
Term
intercostal muscles
Definition
LOCATED BETWEEN RIBS (CAUSES CHEST TO MOVE UPWARD AND OUTWARD)
Term
becomes more acidic cause you are making moreco2 and lactic acid
Definition
an increase in exercise causes what to happen in your blood
Term
carbohydrates

amylase
Definition
when digesting food 1st thing that gets digested in mouth is ______ thanks to ______ in the salvatory glands
Term
pepsin
Definition
is the enzyme that breaks down protein in stomach. stomach also has hydrochloric acids the acids helps to break down proteins
Term
antagonists
Definition
any two chemicals that do the opposite
Term
synergist
Definition
any 2 chemicals that do the same
Term
antagonists
Definition
insulin and glucogen are
Term
veins are more superficial
Definition
arteries are more deep
Term
rugae
Definition

grips to grab onto food

 

pyloric splincer (bottom)

stomach is made of 3 layers of muscle 

Term
mesentaries
Definition
connective tissue that holds intestine
Term
pancreas
Definition

has digestive enzymes that put things directly in dudnuem

 

sends glucogen to the liver and tells it to release glycogen

Term
every tissue in the cell is
Definition
made of a lipid bilayer
Term
every nerve is covered in mylin sheath
Definition
made of lipids
Term
as sooon as venus blood hits your lungs
Definition
it becomes arterial blood
Term
red pulp
Definition
recycles red blood cells
Term
white pulp
Definition
stores white blood cells
Term

glomerulus

(neuphron)

Definition

 

 

filters blood

Term
which vessel carries blood from the lungs
Definition
pulmonary vein
Term
pancreas
Definition

makes 2 hormones: insulin and glucogen.

 

insulin makes the blood sugar go down so cells absorb sugar.(cells absorb glucose)

 

opposite of insulin is glycogen: tells liver to release stored glucose

Term
paretal gland
Definition
produce salva. the saliva produces amylase. the amylase breaks down carbohydrates
Term
epineraphrine
Definition
speeds up heart
Term

acetylioline

(antagonists to epinephrine)

Definition
slows heart down
