The Circulatory System - The function of this system is to deliver oxygen, nutrients,
hormones, and enzymes to the cells (exchange is done at the capillary level) and to transport
cellular waste such as carbon dioxide and urea to the organs (lungs and kidneys, respectively)
where they can be expels from the body.
Pulmonary Circulation (Heart) - This carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle
to the lungs (oxygenation takes place at the alveoli) and returns oxygenated blood from the lung
to the left atrium.
Systemic Circulation (Heart) - This carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle
throughout the body.
The Tricuspid Valve - This is an atrioventricular valve, being situated between the right
atrium and right ventricle.
The Pulmonic Valve - A semi lunar valve situated between the right ventricle nd the
pulmonary artery.
The Mitral Valve - This is another atrioventricular valve, being situated between the left
atrium, and left ventricle; also called the bicuspid valve.
The Aortic Valve - A semi lunar valve situated between the left ventricle and the aorta.
Endocardium - The endothelial inner layer lining of the heart.
Myocardium - The muscular middle layer of the heart. The coronary arteries, which
supply blood to the heart, are found in this layer.
, Epicardium - The fibrous outer layer of the heart. The coronary arteries, which supply
blood to the heart, are found in this layer.
The Blood Vessels - Aorta, Arteries, Arterioles, Capillaries, Venules, Veins, Superior and
Inferior Vena Cava.
Tunica Adventitia - The outer connective tissue of the blood vessels (except the
capillaries).
Tunica Media - The middle smooth muscles of the blood vessels (except the capillaries).
Tunica Intima - The inner endothelial layer of the blood vessels (except the capillaries).
The aorta, arteries, and arterioles carry what type of blood from the heart to the various parts
of the body? - Oxygenated.
The venules, veins and the superior and inferior vena Cavan carry what type of blood back to
the heart? - Deoxygenated.
The capillaries are composed only of a layer of what? - Endothelial Cells.
What connect the arterioles and venules together? - The capillaries.
Capillary Blood - Is a mixture of arterial and venous blood.
The average adult has how much blood? - 5 to 6 liters
Plasma - The liquid portion of blood.
Formed Elements - The cellular portion of blood.
Plasma comprises how much of the circulating blood? - 55%
Plasma Contains - Proteins, Amino Acids, Gases, Electrolytes, Sugars, Hormones, Mineral,
Vitamins, and Water (92%). It also contains waste products such as urea that are destined for
excretion.
The Formed Elements constitute of how much of the blood? - 45%
Erythrocytes - Red Blood Cells.
Formed Elements are what? - 99% Erythrocytes, the Leukocytes and Thrombocytes.
Leukocytes - White Blood Cells.
Thrombocytes - Platelets.
