- to all of the living tissues of the body and carry away carbon dioxide
- eat microorganisms and other substances
- considered to be present when a person’s systolic blood pressure is consistently 140mmHg or greater, and/or their diastolic blood pressure is consistently 90mmHg or greater, known as high blood pressure
- protect the body against invading organisms and remove dead cells and other waste from the body
- Potentials originate in the SA node and travel across the walls of the atrium to the AV node
- smaller, thinner tubes of arteries which become fine branches
- fatty material on the inner lining of the arteries causing them to narrow and be less flexible
- Node located in the walls of the right atrium
- regulates blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle
- strong elastic vessels designed to carry blood away from the heart at a high pressure
- controls blood flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood to your lungs to pick up oxygen
- involved in osmosis, membrane potential and acid-base balance
- normal consequence of aging where the arterial walls gradually thicken and arterial fibers decline occurring commonly in the arteries in the brain, kidneys, heart, abdominal aorta and legs
- located on the surface of the red blood cells which determine blood type
- main blood vein leading to the heart
- lets oxygen-rich blood from your lungs pass from the left atrium into the left ventricle
- introduction of a fluid other than blood to the body such as saline or glucose solution
- transports food, hormones, metabolic wastes and gases to and from cells
- outer surface of the heart
- bulge or ballooning in the wall of an artery
- force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels
- leaves blood and becomes a macrophage which eats bacteria, dead cells, cell fragments and other debris
- has both A and B antigens on the surface of the red blood cells and no A or B antibodies at all in the blood plasma
- serves as a transport medium for glucose, lipids, amino acids, hormones, metabolic end products, carbon dioxide and oxygen
- has A antigens on the surface of the red blood cells and B antibodies in the blood plasma
- occurs when the arteries which supply blood to the heart muscle become hardened and narrowed as a result of atherosclerosis
- has neither A or B antigens on the surface of the red blood cells but has both A and B antibodies in the blood plasma
- process by which red blood cells are made hemoglobin composed of a protein called heme, which binds oxygen and is an iron-containing protein in red blood cells
- carry blood from the lungs to the left atrium
- muscular pump surrounded by a double layered closed sac made of fibrous connective tissue call the pericardium
- carry blood from the body to the right atrium
- muscle of the heart
- releases histamine which promotes inflammation and heparin, which prevents blood clotting
- clumping of particles which results when incompatible blood types are mixed within the body and the antibodies of one blood type react against the antigens of the other
- carry low-oxygen blood from the tissues back to the heart; except for the pulmonary vein which carries oxygenated blood
