- 1what is the right atrium responsible forcollecting deoxygenated blood from the body
- 2what is the right ventricle doreceives blood from right atrium and sends it through the pulmonary artery to the lungs
- 3what does the left atrium doreceives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary vein
- 4what does the left ventricle doreceives blood from left atrium and is sent via the aorta out into the body
- 5what is cardiac ouputmeasures how much blood is pumped out of the heart per minute
- 6whats the equation for cardiac outputCardiac output = Stroke volume x heart rate
- 7how many liters of blood do males and females holdmales: 5-6L
females: 4-5L - 8what is blood responsible forTransporting gases, fuels and minerals
- 9what carries blood away from the heartarteries

- 13what is expirationrelaxation of the muscles and diaphragm
- 14what is pulmonary ventilationmeasures the volume of air moved in and out of the lungs in one minute
- 15equation for pulmonary ventilationPulmonary ventilation = Tidal volume x respiratory rate
- 16what is pulmonary diffusionrefers to the gaseous exchange occurring in the lungs
- 17Do fusiform muscles have a weak or strong force and are they fast or slow to contractweak but fast
- 18Do pennate muscles have a weak or strong force and are they fast or slow to contractstrong but slow
- 19what is AVO2 differencethe difference in the oxygen concentration between the arteries and the veins
