Transports the hormones to different organs. - 4how can extracellular fluid or interstitial fluid be defined?body fluid that is not contained in cells. It is found in blood, in lymph, in body cavities lined with serous (moisture-exuding) membrane, in the cavities and channels of the brain and spinal cord, and in muscular and other body tissues.

Globulin is the protein - 26What do WBC or Lymphocytes do?Produce antibodies which are responsible for immune reactions
- 27Besides fighting off toxins, viruses, tumorous cells, parasites, bacterias. What else does WBC do?Defends the organism by Phagocytosis of by secreting antitoxins
- 28What brings oxygenated blood to the cells?Arteries arterioles and capillaries
- 29What brings deoxygenated blood to the heart?Veins
Veinules
Capillaries - 30Constant blood flow to the flow. How many pumps per minute?60-100
- 31Factors that influence blood circulationBlood flow: amount of blood pumped into the blood circulation (normal = 5L/min)
Resistance (of the arteries)
Blood pressure: Pressure exerted by the blood on the internal walls of the arteries. - 32What are the causes of high blood pressure?High blood pressure occurs when the heart works harder to force the blood out from the left ventricle and into the aorta.
Caused by:
Bad eating habits;
Alcool;
Cigarettes;
Kidney malfunction;
Hardening of the arteries (may be hereditary);
Lack of elasticity of the arteries - 33What causes low blood pressure?Heredity;
Hormones;
