Flashcards
Circulatory system structure
A valve in the heart that guards the opening between the left atrium and the left ventricle, stopping blood from coming back into the atrium.
bicuspid valve
A rhythmical throbbing of the arteries as blood is propelled through them.
pulse
Blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the body cells.
red blood cell
platelet
white blood cell
plasma
It Carries blood from lower regions of the body to right atrium.
tricuspid valve
white blood cell
inferior vena cava
superior vena cava
It receives blood from the head and arms and chest and empties into the right atrium of the heart.
blood vessels
superior vena cava
tricuspid valve
inferior vena cava
Vessels carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
pulmonary vein
pulmonary artery
inferior vena cava
superior vena cava
Chamber that pumps oxygenated blood out to the body.
tricuspid valve
right ventricle
left ventricle
red blood cell
It's the largest artery in the body that conducts freshly oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues.
aorta
Chamber that receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and sends it to the left ventricle
right atrium
left atrium
right ventricle
tricuspid valve
The artery carrying blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.
superior vena cava
pulmonary artery
aorta
inferior vena cava
Blood cells responsible for the function of destroying pathogenes.
plasma
platelet
red blood cell
white blood cell
Receives blood from the inferior and superior vena cava
right atrium
right ventricle
left atrium
left ventricle
Disk-shaped, small bodies in the blood, responsible for blood clot formation.
platelets
Liquid portion of blood with suspended red and white cells in it.
plasma
Chamber ther receives blood from the right atrium and pumps it into the pulmonary artery
left ventricle
bicuspid valve
left atrium
right ventricle
It keeps blood moving toward the lungs.
aortic (sumi-lunar) valve
pulmonary (semi-lunar) valve
pulmonary (semi-lunar) valve
Blood vessels carrying blood back to the heart
pulmonary (semi-lunar) valve
arteries
veins
right ventricle
A valve between the right atrium and right ventricle that stops blood from flowing back into the atrium.
tricuspid valve
System that provides a flow of nutrients throughout the body.
circulatory system
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
arteries
It is composed of cells (red and white) suspended in a liquid called plasma.
blood
It keeps blood moving to the body.
aortic (sumi-lunar) valve
pulmonary (semi-lunar) valve
aortic (sumi-lunar) valve
They control blood flow to and from the heart
heart valves
Tubelike structures that carry blood throughout the body.
blood vessels
Microscopic vessel through which exchanges take place between the blood and cells of the body
inferior vena cava
capillaries
heart valve
red blood cell
