The pacemaker of the heart is termed the

SA node.

hepatic portal vein.

The reason red blood cells only live about 120 days is because red blood cells

lack a nucleus and therefore cannot REPAIR and rebuild cell structures.

Oxygenated blood enters the heart at the

left atrium.

The systemic circuit circulates blood from the

left ventricle to right atrium. (L to R system)

If you are tracing the path of blood from the right to the left side of the heart, you must mention the

lungs.

The heart rate speeds up or slows down because the

medulla oblongata, through the autonomic system, stimulates or depresses heart rate based on activity and stress.

pericardium.

130/90 mm Hg

The two enzymes in the clotting process are

prothrombin activator and thrombin.

Which blood vessel has the highest concentration of carbon dioxide?

pulmonary artery

Contraction of the right ventricle forces blood initially into the

pulmonary artery.

The part of the circulation involved with pumping blood to and from the lungs is the

pulmonary circuit.

The alternating expansion and recoil of an arterial wall is termed a(n)

pulse.

The pulmonary semilunar valve prevents blood from re-entering the

right ventricle.

slower because there are more capillaries and they represent more flow volume.

spleen and liver.

If a person has a blood pressure of 120/80, the "120" refers to the

systolic pressure.

Which organ of the body contains very few, if any, capillary beds?

the cornea

Systole occurs when

the heart tissue is contracting.

"Artery" and "vein" are defined by whether they leave or enter the heart. If they were defined by whether they carried oxygenated or deoxygenated blood, we would have to change the name(s) of

the pulmonary artery and vein (they would have to be switched).

How many layers does an arterial wall possess? Which is the thickest?

three, the middle layer

What is a clot called that remains at its origin? What is a clot called that breaks away and becomes lodged in the lungs?

Early doctors did not understand that blood flowed in a circuit but assumed that blood ebbed and flowed like a tide inside the body. William Harvey was the first to demonstrate the circulation of blood and convince the medical community. Which of the following observations would NOT be evidence that blood was pumped through the body or flowed in a circuit? ( ) Dissecting a live fish shows the heart beating and blood moving, gushing one direction. ( ) A very tight tourniquet causes the arteries to swell on the side toward the heart, but not on the side of the ligature away from the heart. ( ) Measuring the volume of the heart and counting the beats per minute gives a value of 520 pounds of blood an hour, many times a person's volume. ( ) In surface veins, blood can be pressed past a valve toward the heart but not away from the heart. ( ) A cut made anywhere on the body results in blood seeping from the wound.

A cut made anywhere on the body results in blood seeping from the wound.

( ) Capillaries are present in only a limited number of internal organs. ( ) Capillaries work individually to carry out their function.

Capillaries are extremely narrow.

In the fetal heart, the lungs are deflated and the fetus receives oxygen from its mother across the placenta through the umbilical cord. There is an opening in the wall between the left and right side of the fetal heart. This should normally grow closed before birth. What symptoms would be expected if this heart wall opening remained open?

Deoxygenated blood would mix with oxygenated blood and systemic circulation would have too little oxygen to sustain healthy growth.

Which is NOT a correct association describing aspects of the cardiac cycle? ( ) Each heartbeat constitutes a cardiac cycle. ( ) Diastole is contraction of the heart and systole is relaxation. ( ) A normal heart rate varies from 60 to 80 beats per minute. ( ) A pulse is the expansion and recoil of artery walls felt near the body surface. ( ) Valves prevent backflow of blood into the heart when the heart relaxes.
