What is the largest artery in the body?

Tiny branches connecting vein and artery vessels are called:

Veins popping out on the back of legs that typically develop in older people or those who stand long periods of time during their careers are called:

True/False: The flow of blood around the body ensures that essential nutrients are delivered and wastes are moved away for disposal. At the center of this system is the amazing pump, the human heart.

True/False: A series of tubes, or vessels, serve as the highways for the transportation of blood. Arteries are responsible for carrying blood back to the heart and veins are responsible for returning blood away from the heart.

True/False: Pulmonary circulation moves blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and back to the heart so this oxygenated blood can be delivered.

True/False: Systemic circulation pumps oxygen rich blood to the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart to be sent out for refueling.

True/False: The pulmonary arteries move blood from the heart (the right ventricle) to the lungs to pick up carbon dioxide.

True/False: Pulmonary Vein collects the oxygenated blood and carry it from the lungs back to the heart.

True/False: The superior vena cava carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest. The inferior vena cava carries blood from the legs, feet, and organs in the abdomen and pelvis. The vena cava is the largest vein in the body.

True/False: The renal vein services the kidney and takes de-oxygenated blood back to the heart.

True/False: The femoral artery services the leg and takes de-oxygenated blood back to the heart.

True/False: The subclavian artery runs behind the clavicle and takes oxygenated blood from the heart and services the upper limb.

After each heartbeat, a pressure wave or ______________, passes along an ______________ as its walls bulge and then relax to withstand the surge of blood. By pressing on an ______________, the number of pulses or heartbeats per minute can be counted.

Pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts to push blood throughout the body.

Pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest, allowing chambers to fill with blood.

5. ________________________ - a measure of how much blood is pumped by both ventricles in one minute.

Faulty signaling can cause the heart to beat too fast, which is referred to as _______________, or too slow, referred to as _______________, or an unpredictable pattern.

An ___________________________ is a simple-to-use device that can analyze and interpret electrical signals within the heart and determine whether providing an electrical shock or series of shocks to the heart may help restore the heart to a normal rhythm.

Narrowing of bronchi, bronchioles, and trachea due to inflammation causes reduced inhalation and oxygen exchange.

What is the tool used to measure lung volumes?

In the right lung, a ________________ fissure separates the superior and middle lobes, and

TRUE/FALSE: Tidal volume is the volume of air breathed in and out without conscious effort.

TRUE/FALSE: Minute volume is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum exhalation.

TRUE/FALSE: The bronchi is the lung structure that is responsible for the exchange of gases with blood.

TRUE/FALSE: Lung capacity is equal to VC + RV.

Any infectious agent that can cause disease is called ___________.

___________, the largest organ of the body, is the first layer of defense for the body and is an immediate barrier to outside invaders.

___________ acts as an army to fight and destroy pathogens (outside invaders) such as viruses, bacteria, or abnormal cells such as cancer cells.

___________ drains and filters the excess fluid and absorbs fats from the digestive tract.

___________ - helps in the development of T-Cells.

___________ - filters the blood of foreign cells.

___________ - glands in the immune system that usually enlarge in response to bacterial or viral infections.

10. ___________________ - Non-specific immune defense mechanisms that people are born with.

11. ___________________ - acquired over a lifetime.

________________ are fragments that assist in protecting the body by helping your blood clot.

________________ help transport oxygen throughout the body.

________________ that really function to keep you well.

A foreign invader such as a pathogen.

Proteins that work to neutralize pathogens.
