Cards

Term
principle elements of lungs
Definition
thoracic cavity
bronchus-lungs to trachea, ends at alveoli(diffusion of gases)
trachea-air tube from mouth to bronchus
larynx-voice box
Term
inhalation and exhalation
Definition
inhalation-diaphragm contracts downwards, chest lifts upward
exhalation-diaphragm relaxes, pushes up, chest moves down
Term
gas exchange
Definition
oxygen is carried by hemoglobin in red blood cells, loads up with o2 in lungs(alveoli) and goes to tissues, unloads and then pick up CO2 and carries to lungs
Term
circulation in hydras and jellyfish
Definition
gastrovascular cavity-brings water with nutrients and dissolved genes close to cells
Term
athropods
Definition
open circulatory- heart pumps blood into body cavity
Term
closed circulatory
Definition
arteries-away from heart
veins-back to heart
capillaries connect arteries to veins
Term
how many chambered hearts for
fish
mammals
Definition
fish-2 (ventricle-strong muscles that push blood through gills)
mammals-4 dual pumping system
Term
CIRCULATION THROUGH HEART AND BODY
Definition
pulmonary vein to left atrium, to left ventricle, aorta, arteries, capilaries, veins, vena cava, right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, lungs
Term
sinoatrial (SA) node vs AV atrioventricular node
Definition
SA pacemaker, AV is relay point
Term
heartbeat
Definition
discharge of blood against AV valves
ventricles close=lub
discharge of blood against SA valves and atria close-dupp
Term
heart murmur
Definition
turbulence (shh) when valves fail to close
Term
blood pressure
Definition
diastolic-chambers are open and muscles are relaxed (70-90)
systolic-ventricles are contractinh (110-130)
Term
pulse
Definition
pressure of blood against walls of arteries
Term
velocity and pressure in arteries vs capillaries vs veins
Definition
high in arteries, moderate in capillaries, low in veins
Term
heart attack
angina
stroke
Definition
damage or death of cardiac muscle tissue because of blockage
angina-pain in chest bc of exercise or stress-not enough oxygen
stroke-death of brain cells bc of blocked arteries to brain
Term
capillaries
Definition
allow food, gases, waste to transfer through their walls
Term
blood consists of
Definition
plasma-55% (water, salt, proteins)
cells-45%
Term
types of blood cells
Definition
platelets-clotting
red-carry oxygen to hemoglobin
white-defense
