Fundamentals of Cardiovascular System
Flashcards do conjunto (17)
- 1Circulatory SystemTransports fluids thru body
(cardiovascular + lymphatic) - 2Cardiovascular Systemheart and blood vessels
for blood
transportation - 3What are the 2 types of circulations of the heart?The pulmonary and systemic circulations
- 4Pulmonary CirculationLOW oxygen blood from the right ventricle through the lungs then HIGH oxygen blood into the left atrium
- 5Systemic CirculationHIGH oxygen blood in left ventricle thru the body via systemic ARTERIES.
exchange O2 for CO2 in capillaries
LOW O2 blood back to heart in right atrium via systemic VEINS - 6What are the 3 types of blood vessels?Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries
- 7Arteriolesfinal distributing vessels deliver HIGH O2 blood to capillaries
- 8Capillariesjunction for exchange between arteries and veins
- 9Capillary Bedswhere the interchange of O2, nutrients, waste products, and other with the extracellular fluid occurs
- 10Venulesthin walled vessel
where blood from the capillary bed passes into and drain into small veins then medium then large veins - 11Largest VeinsSuperior and Inferior Vena Cava return LOW O2 blood to heart
- 12What are the pressures in the arteries and veins?Low pressure in the veins, high pressure in the arteries.
- 13What lines all of the blood vessels?Endothelial cells
- 14Anastomosescommunications between multiple branches of an artery
provides many ways for blood to flow in case of obstruction - 15Is there more veins or arteries in the body?More veins.
1 artery for every 2 veins usually - 16Vascular Sheathfascial tissue enclosing accompanying veins with one artery
helps with arteriovenous pumping - 17Portal Venous Systemblood passing through 2 capillary beds before returning to the heart
Ex. Hepatic Portal System
