respiring cells produce oxygen
that is transported to the lungs in the red blood cells , attached to heamoglobin forming oxyhemoglobin
respiring cells produce glucose that is transported to the
small intestine , glucose is dissolved in the plasma of the blood
amino acids are transported from the
cells to the small intestine , amino acids are dissolved in the plasma
urea is transported from the
kidney to the liver
the urea is dissolved in the plasma
respiring cells produce carbon dioxide that is transported to the
lungs the carbon dioxide is dissolved in the plasma
what are the walls of the heart made of
muscle
what are the 4 sections of the heart called
chambers
what are the chambers at the top of the heart called
atrium
what are the chambers at the bottom of the heart called
ventricles
what are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart called
arteries
what are the blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart called
veins
what are the structures called that are inside the heart and and prevent blood flowing backwards
valves
the events that happen as blood flows into and out of the heart are called the
cardiac cycle
1) in the cardiac cycle , deoxygenated blood returns from the body in a blood vessel called the
vena cava
2) the blood enters the chamber of the heart called the
right atrium
3) the right atrium contracts and the blood moves through a valve into the chamber called the
right ventricles
4) the right ventricle contracts and the blood is pushed out of the heart and into a blood vessel called the
pulmonary artery
5) this blood vessel carries the blood to the
lungs
6) the blood returns to the heart in a blood vessel called the
pulmonary veins
7) the oxygenated blood enters the chamber of the heart called
the left atrium
8) the left atrium contracts and the blood moves through a valve into the chamber called the
left ventricle
9) the left ventricle contracts and the blood is pushed out of the heart and into a blood vessel called the
aorta
10) this is the end of the cardiac cycle . in the cardiac cycle blood is pumped to the lungs so that it can become
oxygenated
the left ventricle has the thickest walls of any chamber in the heart , as the blood from this chamber has to be pumped
around the body
what are the blood vessels on the surface of the heart called
coronary arteries
what is the function of the coronary arteries
to supply oxygen and glucose to the muscles for respiration
what happens if one of the blood vessels becomes blocked
you may get a heart attack
explain the cardiac cycle
deoxygenated blood returns from the body in vena cava - a type of blood vessel
the blood enters the chamber of the heart called the right atrium
the right atrium contracts and the blood moves through a valve into the chamber called the right ventricles
the right ventricles contract and the blood is pushed out of the heart and into a blood vessel called the pulmonary artery
this blood vessel carries the blood to the lungs
the blood returns to the heart in a blood vessel called the pulmonary veins
the oxygenated blood enters the chamber of the heart called the left atrium
the left atrium contracts and the blood is pushed out of the heart and into a blood vessel called the aorta
this is the end of the cardiac cycle , blood is pumped to the lungs so that it can become oxygenated
