What supplies blood to the muscle tissue?
Blood Vessels
1 of 31
The blood vessels on the outside of the heart carry the oxygen-rich blood to where?
the heart muscles walls
2 of 31
the blood vessels on the outside of the heart carries the oxygen-poor blood to where?
carried away from these cells by the outer blood vessels and back into the heart
3 of 31
what are the four chambers called?
right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
4 of 31
what does the right atrium do?
pumps blood out of the heart and to the lungs
5 of 31
what does the right ventricle do?
collects blood from the body and pumps blood to the right ventricle
6 of 31
what does the left atrium do?
pumps blood out of the heart to the body
7 of 31
what does the right ventricle do?
pumps blood from the lungs
8 of 31
what are the valves called?
Semi-Lunar , Tricuspid, Bicuspid
9 of 31
what holds the valve?
tendons
10 of 31
what happens in the first stage of the heart beat?
starts with the heart muscle relaxed and valves closed, the blood flows into the two atria and both sides fill up with blood, which is then pushed through the valves to get into the ventricles.
11 of 31
what happens in stage 2 of the heart beat?
The valves between the atria and the ventricles close.
12 of 31
what happens in stage 3 of the heart beat?
When the ventricles are empty, the valves leading out of the

what are the 5 types of blood vessels?
artery, arteriole, venuole, vein and capillary
14 of 31
what do the arteries do?
they carry oxyginated blood away from the heart
15 of 31
what are the propeties of the artery?
thick outer wall, think inner layer of muscle and fibres, narrow central tube.
16 of 31
what is a vein?
Veins are the blood vessels that carry deoxyginated blood back into the heart.
17 of 31
what are the properties of the vein?
thin outer wall, think inner layer of muscle and fibres, wide central tube.
18 of 31
what is a capillary?
Capillaries are the tiny blood vessels that carry a blood supply to and from the body’s cells.
19 of 31
what are the properties of a capillary?
very thin wall made of a single layer of cells and narrow central tube
20 of 31
what are the 4 compositions of blood?
Red Blood cells, Plasma, White blood cells, platelets
21 of 31
what are the functions of the cardiovascular system?
delivery of oxygen and nutrients, removal of waste products, thermoregualtion, fight infection, clot blood
22 of 31
what is Vasodiliation?
dilation of arterioles and small arteries
23 of 31
what is vasoconstriction?
the opposite to dilation
24 of 31
what is it called when a chamber contracts?
Systole
25 of 31
what is it called when the chamber is relaxed?
diastole
26 of 31
what is the autonomic?
The part of the nervous system responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes
27 of 31
what is sympathetic?
The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the fight or flight response
28 of 31
what is parasympathetic?
the parasympathetic system conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.
