Cardiovascular System
20
cardiovascular system: consists of heart, blood vessels and blood
heart: muscular organ that pumps blood through the body
atrium: upper chambers in the heart
ventricle: lower chambers in heart
septum: wall of tissue that separates the heart into left and right
arteries: blood vessels that carry blood away
aorta: largest artery in the body
capillaries: tiny vessels in which substances are exchanged between blood and body cells
veins: blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart
vena cava: either of the two large veins that return oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium of the heart
blood pressure: the force exerted by blood against the walls of blood vessels
stethoscope: a medical instrument used for listening to the sounds generated inside the body
tricuspid: valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle
bicuspid: valve located between the left atrium and left ventricle
pulmonary arteries: carries oxygen poor blood from the heart to the lungs
pulmonary veins: carries oxygen right blood from the lungs to the heart
plasma: liquid part of blood that contains digested food, metabolic wastes, carbon dioxide, oxygen, hormones or enzymes
erythrocytes: red blood cells that contain hemoglobin and transports oxygen from cells to lungs
leukocytes: white blood cells formed in bone marrow and destroys invading bacteria
thrombocytes: platelets that are required for clotting of blood
