CV SYSTEM

?
The amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle in each beat
STROKE VOLUME
1 of 23
The volume of blood pumped from the heart in one minute
CARDIAC OUTPUT
2 of 23
Greatest number of times your heart can beat in a minute
HEART RATE
3 of 23
Large vessels that carry blood away from the heart
ARTERY
4 of 23
The outside layer of an artery or vein
TUNICA EXTERNA
5 of 23
Vessels that are one cell thick
CAPPILARY
6 of 23
Vessels with a large lumen, with valves inside them to prevent back flow
VEIN
7 of 23
Connect capillaries to veins; smaller versions than veins, without valves
VENULES
8 of 23
The middle layer of an artery or vein
TUNICA MEDIA
9 of 23
The space inside an artery, vein or capillary, through which blood passes
LUMEN
10 of 23
Vessels that connect arteries to capillaries; they are smaller versions of arteries, with muscular walls
ARTERIOLES
11 of 23
The inside later of an artery or vein; the only layer of a capillary
TUNICA INTIMA
12 of 23
When pre capillary sphincters shut ... this ... the blood flow
VASOCONSTRICT ... DECREASES
13 of 23
When pre capillary sphincters open ... this ... the blood flow
VASODILATE ... INCREAESES
14 of 23
When at rest the arterioles to the organs ... and the pre capillary sphincters ... this increases the blood flow
VASODILATE ... OPEN
15 of 23
During exercise the arterioles to the organs ... and the pre capillary sphincters ... this decreases the blood flow
VASOCONSTRICT ... CLOSE
16 of 23
When at rest the arterioles to the muscles ... and the pre capillary sphincters ... this reduces the blood flow
VASODILATE ... OPEN
17 of 23
During exercise the arterioles to the muscles ... and the pre capillary sphincters ...
VASOCONSTICT ... CLOSE
18 of 23
At rest the arterioles to the organs: the arterioles ... and the pre capillary sphincters ... increasing blood flow
VASODILATE ... OPENING
19 of 23
During exercise the arterioles to the organs: the arterioles ... and the pre capillary sphincters ... decreasing blood flow
VASOCONSTRICT ... CLOSE
20 of 23
At rest the arterioles to the muscles: the arterioles ... and the pre capillary sphincters ... decreasing blood flow
VASOCONSTRICT ... CLOSSE
21 of 23
During exercise the arterioles to the muscles: the arterioles ... and the pre capillary sphincters ... increasing blood flow
VASODILATE ... OPEN
22 of 23
The transport of deoxygenated blood from the capillaries, through the venules and veins and back to the right atrium of the heart via the vena cava
VENOUS RETURN
