B3 Chapter 2 Blood Circulation

?
What is the function of the circulatory system?
Transfers food and oxygen to every cell in the body.
1 of 35
What other function does it have?
Carries and removes the waste products of CO2 and urea.
2 of 35
Why is it called a DOUBLE circulatory system?
It is two circuits joined together.
3 of 35
What are the types of blood the both sides pump?
Right is deoxygenated blood and left is oxygenated blood
4 of 35
What happens when the oxygenated blood gives up its oxygen?
Becomes deoxygenated->pumped to heart,lungs then repeats
5 of 35
What properties do arteries have?
large, thick walled tubes; blood carried away from the heart
6 of 35
What properties do veins have?
large, thin walled tubes; blood brung back to the heart
7 of 35
What properties do capillaries have?
Small, thin walled tubes; blood into and out of our tissues
8 of 35
Why does the heart have valves?
To prevent the blood flowing backwards (wrong way)
9 of 35
Step one of the heart contracting
Blood into the right atrium
10 of 35
Step two
Through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle
11 of 35
Step three
Pumped out to the pulmonary artery to the lungs
12 of 35
Step four
Lungs enrich the blood with oxygen
13 of 35
Step five
Back through the pulmonary vein into left atrium
14 of 35
Step six
Through the bicuspid valve into the muscular left ventricle
15 of 35
Step seven
Pumped to the whole body through the aorta
16 of 35
What blood and where does the first circulatory system pump to?
Deoxygenated blood to the lungs to take oxygen. Then to heart
17 of 35
What does the blood contain?
Red Blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma
18 of 35
What does plasma carry?
Food particles, hormones/gases, waste, white/red BC, antibodies
19 of 35
What are platelets?
Tiny bits of cells that help clot blood after a cut/injury
20 of 35
What do red blood cells do?
Carries oxygen to organs
21 of 35
Why does a red blood cell have a large surface area?
For absorbing oxygen
22 of 35
What is the red pigment in a red blood cell?
Haemoglobin
23 of 35
In lungs, when it combines with oxygen what does the haemoglobin become?
oxyhaemoglobin
24 of 35
What do white blood cells do?
Make antibodies/toxins and engulfs microbes
25 of 35
What is artificial blood?
Saline solution
26 of 35
Why is artificial blood reliable on patients?
Gives patient enough time to produce new blood cells
27 of 35
Why is it not used as permanent blood?
There are side effects
28 of 35
What is an artificial heart?
A mechanical heart to pump if real one fails
29 of 35
Why is it not permanent?
Temporary fix while waiting for a donor
30 of 35
What is an advantage?
Less likely to be rejected (metals/plastics)
31 of 35
What is a disadvantage?
needs surgery=>bleeding and infections
32 of 35
What factors should people developing valves consider?
Works? (prevents backflow) Immune response? (rejected)
33 of 35
What are stents used FOR?
Widening arteries that have narrowed through fat deposits
34 of 35
What are stents used for?
Keeps arteries open so that blood can freely flow through.
