Hitt 1305: Exam 4 (chapters 7 and 8)
Questions and Answers
arteries - ANS-Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart
blood - ANS-fluid circulated through the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins; composed
of plasma and formed elements, such as erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes
(platelets)
blood vessels - ANS-tubelike structures that carry blood throughout the body, including
arteries, veins, and capillaries
capillaries - ANS-microscopic blood vessels; materials are passed between blood and
tissues through capillary walls
heart - ANS-muscular, cone-shaped organ the size of a fist, located behind the sternum
(breast bone) and between the lungs; pumping action circulates blood throughout the
body
plasma - ANS-clear, straw-colored, liquid portion of blood in which cells are suspended
veins - ANS-Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart
functions of the cardiovascular system - ANS--pumps blood
-transports oxygen, nutrients, immune substances, hormones, and other chemicals to
and from organs
-carries waste products away from tissues
lymph - ANS-transparent, colorless, tissue fluid; contains lymphocytes and monocytes
and flows in a one-way direction to the heart
lymph nodes - ANS-small, spherical bodies composed of lymphoid tissue; may be
singular or grouped together along the path of lymphatic vessels; filter lymph to keep
bacteria and other foreign agents from entering blood
lymphatic vessels - ANS-transport lymph from body tissues to a large vein in the chest
spleen - ANS-lymphatic organ located in the upper left abdominal cavity between the
stomach and the diaphragm; filters blood and acts as a blood reservoir
, thymus - ANS-lymphatic organ with two lobes located behind the sternum between the
lungs; plays an important role in development of the body's immune system, particularly
from infancy to puberty
Functions of the lymphatic system - ANS-Returns excess fluid from tissues to blood
Helps maintain blood volume and pressure
Filters lymph, trapping and destroying harmful cells
Generates disease-fighting cells
aden/o - ANS-glands
angi/o - ANS-blood vessel
cardi/o - ANS-heart
ech/o - ANS-sound
electr/o - ANS-electrical activity
lymph/o - ANS-lymph
phleb/o - ANS-veins
splen/o - ANS-spleen
CPR - ANS-cardiopulmonary resuscitation
DSA - ANS-digital subtraction angiography
DVT - ANS-deep vein thrombosis
ECHO - ANS-echocardiogram
ECG, EKG - ANS-electrocardiogram
HF - ANS-heart failure
HHD - ANS-hypertensive heart disease
HTN - ANS-hypertension
IV - ANS-intravenous
MI - ANS-myocardial infarction
