blood vessels
Which tube carries blood around the body?
|
to pump blood through the whole body.
What is the main function of the heart?
|
The hummingbird, with the highest measure of 1260 beats per minute.
What is the animal with the highest heartbeat/ pulse?
|
A, B, AB, O / Each group can be either RhD positive or RhD negative, which means in total there are 8 blood groups.
What types of blood types are there?
|
|
Arteries - carry the blood away from the heart.
Veins - carry the blood back to the heart.
What are the two main types of blood vessels, and what is their function?
|
The heart is basically a big muscle that squeezes together every time the blood is pumped to shoot it out of the heart with about 1-2 meters a second.
How does the heart pump blood?
|
The blue whale with the lowest measurement of 2 beats per minute when diving very deep for food.
What is the animal with the lowest heartbeat/ pulse?
|
Red blood cells (erythrocytes)
White blood cells (leukocytes) Plasma Platelets (Thrombocytes)
What are the 4 main blood components and their technical term?
|
|
The right side of the heart pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygenated and then to the left side of the heart where the blood gets pumped through the whole body to fuel the muscles and pick up the waste.
Because the blood passes through the heart 2 times in one process.
Why is the circulatory system also called double circulation?
|
The right side of the heart pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygenated and then to the left side of the heart where the blood gets pumped through the whole body to fuel the muscles and pick up the waste.
What is are the jobs of the left and right sides of hearts?
|
Your pulse is your heart rate or the number of times your heart pumps blood in one minute. The pulse can be measured by counting the heartbeats in a minute with the help of a stethoscope.
What is a pulse and how do you measure it?

The Blood Type is A+
Guess the blood type:
It can only receive from an equal owner, or from the universal donor, It can only donate to the Blood types in which the letter comes first, but it doesn't care whether it is positive or negative, which isn't the worst. If you pick wrong, you cannot reverse... |

- Oxygen from your lungs to your cells
- Food from your gut to your cells - carbon dioxide from your cells to your lungs - waste chemicals from your liver to your kidneys
What sort of things have to be carried around your body in the circulatory system?
|
The left ventricle of your heart is larger and thicker than the right ventricle. This is because it has to pump the blood further around the body, and against higher pressure, compared with the right ventricle.
Why is the left ventricle of your heart larger and why is the wall thicker?
|
The force of circulating blood on the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure is taken using two measurements: systolic (measured when the heart beats when blood pressure is at its highest) and diastolic (measured between heartbeats, when blood pressure is at its lowest).
What is Blood pressure and how do you measure it?
|
The main function of white blood cells is to guard against infection, fight parasites, and attack bacteria.
Your white blood cells lock on the germs in order to absorb or destroy them. For that process, they produce antibodies.
What is the main function of the white blood cells and how do they manage to do that?
|
|
Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that have very thin walls and carry blood, oxygen, and nutrients into the smallest parts of your body. Capillaries also are where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged for carbon dioxide and waste.
What are capillaries and what happens there?
|
The heart is divided into four chambers consisting of two atria and two ventricles; the atria receive blood, while the ventricles pump blood. The right atrium receives blood from the vena cavas; blood then moves to the right ventricle where it is pumped to the lungs.
Explain the structure of the heart.
|
The normal blood pressure is 120 over 80, so a systolic pressure of 120 and a diastolic pressure of 80. Systolic blood pressure measures the force your heart exerts on the walls of your arteries each time it beats. Diastolic blood pressure measures the force your heart exerts on the walls of your arteries in between beats.
What is the normal blood pressure and what is the systolic and diastolic pressure?
|
From an alveolus, the molecules of oxygen diffuse into the blood. The oxygen sticks to the haemoglobin, to form oxyhaemoglobin. The oxyhaemoglobin then moves to the cells, that need the oxygen.
How does oxyhaemoglobin form and where does it move to?
