1 CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM KEY TERMS

2 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT Cardio/Cardiac BACK Having to do with the Heart

3 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT HEART BACK Muscular organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the body Size of your fist

4 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT ATRIUM BACK Upper chambers of the heart (2)

5 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT VENTRICLES BACK Lower chambers of the heart (2)

6 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT VALVES BACK Flap-like structures found between the atrium and the ventricle They are responsible for the “Lub-dub” sound of your heartbeat when they close

7 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT SEPTUM (See yellow part of your model) BACK Tissue separating the chambers of the heart (also between your nostrils)

8 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT ARTERIES BACK Carry blood AWAY from the heart In the BODY, they carry oxygen – RICH blood

9 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT VEINS BACK Carry blood TOWARD the heart In the BODY, they carry oxygen – POOR blood, carbon dioxide, and waste products.

10 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT CAPILLARIES BACK Tiny blood vessels that allow the exchange of gases and waste products between the blood and the body cells Connect the arteries and the veins A  C  V  C  A

11 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT RED BLOOD CELLS BACK Responsible for transporting oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other waste products

12 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT WHITE BLOOD CELLS BACK Responsible for fighting disease

13 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT PLATELETS BACK Clot together to stop bleeding (scabs)

14 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT PLASMA BACK Liquid portion of the blood, in which the RBC, WBC, and platelets are suspended Like the liquid in a snowglobe

15 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT VASCULAR BACK The system of specialized tubes that transport material (blood) from one part of the body to another Veins, arteries, & capillaries

16 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT LUNGS (pulmonary) BACK Organs where oxygen (O2) is inhaled and carbon dioxide (CO2) is exhaled in/out of the body

17 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT RESPIRATION BACK Does not occur in the lungs!!! Occurs at the cell level Capillaries exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with individual cells in the body.

18 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT OXYGEN BACK The main source of energy for cells The necessary product for respiration Inhale  Lungs  Blood  Cell

19 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT CARBON DIOXIDE BACK The main WASTE product of respiration Cell  Blood  Heart  Lungs  Exhaled

20 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT PULMONARY ARTERY BACK Left/Right Lung Artery Brings Oxygen-POOR blood AWAY from the Heart TO the Lungs

21 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT PULMONARY VEIN BACK Right/Left Lung Vein Brings Oxygen-RICH blood TOWARDS the Heart from the Lungs

22 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT AORTA BACK The LARGEST artery Transports Oxygen- RICH blood from the lungs  heart  out to the body

23 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT VENA CAVA BACK Transports Oxygen-POOR blood from the body back to the heart Superior/Upper Vena Cava – transports blood from the upper body Inferior/Lower Vena Cava – transports blood from the lower body

24 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT PULMONARY CIRCULATION BACK The circulation of blood between your heart and your lungs O2 POOR blood goes from the heart  to the lungs  Drops off CO2 and waste products/Picks up O2  goes back to the Heart

25 Cardiovascular System Key Terms FRONT SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION BACK The circulation of blood between your heart and your BODY O2 RICH blood goes from the heart  out to the BODY  Drops off O2 and Picks up CO2 and waste products  goes back to the Heart
