Chapter 16 Cardiovascular & Respiratory Systems
Functions of the cardiovascular system • Composed of the _______ & all blood vessels of the body • Function is to _________ blood, thereby maintaining an internal environment in which all the cells of your body are nourished
Functions of the cardiovascular system • The heart pumps blood • Blood carries ___________ cells throughout your body to deliver ______ • At the same time carbon dioxide along with __________ is carried away from your body via blood cells
Functions of the cardiovascular system • ________ is delivered to your lungs and waste products are sent to the ___________ to be removed from the body
Structures of the cardiovascular system • The __________ and the ________ are perhaps the most important organs in your body • The heart is made of the ___________ which is what makes it pump • Your heart rate increases or decreases __________________ based on your physical activity
Chambers of the heart • Your heart has ____ chambers • Right ________ • Left _________ • _______ Ventricle • _______ Ventricle • A wall of tissue separates the right & left atria called the __________ along with the right & left ventricles
Chambers of the heart • The right __________ works as the natural __________ for the rest of the heart • Small electrical __________ force the atrium to contract therefore allowing blood to be pumped into the ventricles • Blood is then pumped out of the heart
Chambers of the heart • When blood is flowing it can only flow _________________ • Once blood is pumped the valves close not allowing blood to pump back • The sound that you hear when your heart is beating is the sound of the __________ closing
Circulation of the heart • Blood that has been ___________ but has carbon dioxide & waste is pumped back to the heart by 2 large blood vessels called the ______________ • _________________ blood enters the right atrium & is transferred to the right ventricle
Circulation of the heart • Blood is then pumped to the _______ • Inside the lungs the blood drops the carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen • Newly _________________ blood is then returned to the lungs to the left atrium of the heart
Circulation of the heart • The blood is then pumped from the left atrium into the ______ ventricle • Blood is then pumped out of the heart & into the rest of the body by way of the large artery called the ________
Blood • Blood delivers oxygen, hormones, & nutrients to the cells & carries away waste that the cells produce • _______of your blood consists of ______ the fluid in which other parts of the blood are suspended
Blood • Red blood cells make up about ____% of blood • White blood cells & platelets together make up the remaining 5% of blood • 1 ___________ of blood contains millions of each of these types of cells
Red blood cells & White blood cells • _________ blood cells – transport oxygen to cells & parts of the body • Formed in bone marrow, they contain _______________ the oxygen-carrying protein in blood • Red blood cells also carry _________away from cells back to the lungs
Red blood cells & White blood cells • __________ blood cells are made to protect our bodies against infection & fight off infection when it occurs • White blood cells are also produced in _______________________ • Production of white blood cells _____________ when an infection is present
Blood vessels • You have more then _________ miles of blood vessels that transport blood • There are 3 main types of blood vessels • __________ • __________ • __________
Arteries • They are blood vessels that carry blood ________ from the heart • They have thick elastic walls and contain smooth muscle fibers • ________________ arteries carry _________________ blood from the right ventricles to the lungs
Arteries • _______ arteries, such as the ______, carry oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to all areas of the body • As arteries move away from the heart, they branch into progressively smaller vessels called _____________ • Arterioles deliver blood to __________
Capillaries • Capillaries are small vessels that carry blood between _____________ and small vessels called ____________ • Capillaries form an _________________throughout tissues and organs in the body, reaching almost every body cell
Veins • Veins are blood vessels that ________ blood to the heart • Vein walls are thinner and less elastic than those of arteries, veins are still able to withstand the pressure exerted by blood as it flows though them
Platelets • Platelets are cells that __________ the body’s loss of blood • Platelets produce small thread-like fibers called _________
Lymphatic System • This system also helps to fight infection & plays an important role to the bodies immunity to disease • ___________ is the clear fluid that fills the spaces around body cells • _______________ are specialized white blood cells that provide the body with immunity & protect the body against antibodies
B Cells • B cells are ______________ that are stimulated to multiply when they are come in contact with a pathogen • Some B cells produce ________ cells, which produce ___________ that attack the pathogen, other produce memory cells
T Cells • T cells are ___________ that are stimulated to enlarge & multiply when they encounter a pathogen. • There are ____ main types • _______ cells which stop the spread of disease • _______ cells aid in the activation of B cells & killer T cells
Structure of the Lymphatic System • It consists of a network of vessels & tissues that are involved in the movement & filtering of lymph
Health behaviors associated with good cardiovascular care • Follow a well balance diet that is low in saturated fats, cholesterol & salt • Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on the heart, blood vessels, and lymph vessels • Participate in regular aerobic exercise for at least _____ minutes _____ times a week
Health behaviors associated with good cardiovascular care • Avoid the use of tobacco products & exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke • Avoid _______ drugs, including stimulants, marijuana, & ecstasy
Blood Pressure • Blood pressure is the measure of the amount of _______ that the blood places on the walls of the blood vessels
Blood Pressure • As your heart contracts to push blood into your arteries, the maximum pressure, called __________ pressure is measured • As the ventricles relax to refill, blood pressure is at its lowest point, called the __________
Cardiovascular System Problems • ______________ heart disease – a condition that is present at birth • Cardiovascular disease is actually a group of the cardiovascular systems that include _________, ______ disease, & __________
Cardiovascular System Problems • Heart ________________ are abnormal sounds that are made as blood flows through the heart • __________ veins form if valves in the veins do not close tightly enough to prevent backflow of blood
