8 Structure of the Human Heart - Choices Darker blood vessel have no oxygen….
Septum - 8 left atrium - 3 right atrium - 12 right ventricle - 9 left ventricle - 7 valves (4x) - 6, 5, 11 pulmonary vein(2x) - 4, 13 pulmonary arteries(2x) - 14, 2 aorta - 1 Superior Vena Cava 15 Inferior Vena Cava - 10

9 Arteries vs. Veins Towards heart
Muscles of legs and arms pump the blood through the body (valves) low pressure of thoracic cavity thin-walled wide slow Away from heart Heart is used to pump the blood through the body Thick-walled Narrow

10 Which is the artery? The Vein?

11

12 One-way vales are present in veins.

13 37-1

14 Plasma Mostly water (90%) 10% that remains…. Salts Sugars
Plasma proteins Serum albumin: regulates osmotic pressure Globulins: help with immune system Fibrinogen: helps with blood clotting

15 Blood Cells Red White Platelets

16 Red Blood Cells Carry oxygen Hemoglobin Lack nucleus

19 White Blood Cells (leucocytes)
Produced in bone marrow 20 different types: e.g. Macrophages: engulf bacteria Lymphocytes:produce antibodies to fight disease

20 Platelets clotting

22 Lymphatic System A one-way system that brings excess tissue fluid back to the heart. Lymph nodes sample this returning tissue for antigens (infections).
