Blood Consists of?
Red Blood Cells, Plasma, Platelets, and White Blood Cells
Red blood Cells
Carry oxygen
Plasma
Transport gases
Platelets
Clotting Factors, Scabs
White Blood Cells
protect body from infection, produce antibodies
Blood Vessels
Hollow tubes that carry blood, ( Arteries, Veins, capillaries)
Arteries
Carry blood away from the heart
Veins
Carry waste-rich blood, red blood cells with O2, from the heart to the brain, have thinner walls than arteries.
Capillaries
Permeates tissue, exchange of O2 and waste products takes place, involved in the release of excess heat connect veins and Arteries.
Varicose Veins
Veins become enlarged and torturous,valves preventing blood from flowing backwards cease to function properly.
Coronary Artery
Bring oxygenated blood to the heart muscle,arise from the base of the aorta L & R coronary arteries are the main coronary arteries
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
are blocked arteries, may result in heart attacks and chest pains
Angina Pectoris
Chest Pains
Atherosclerosis
Blood Vessel disease that can cause stroke and CAD, plaques develop inside arteries.
Blood Clots
Stack overflow of the blood in veins due to plaque, can cause heart attacks or strokes.
Thrombus
Stationary blood clot, can block blood vessels where it forms.
Coronary Thrombosis
the development of a thrombus that blocks a coronary artery.
Embolus
floating blood clot, forms and floats until it blocks a coronary artery
Capillaries
Permeates Tissue, the exchange of O2 and CO2 and waste products takes place here, involved in the release of excess heat
Varicose veins
Veins that have become enlarged or tortuous, the valves that prevent from blood flowing backwards cease to function properly
Coronary Artery
Bring oxygenated blood to heart muscle, arise from the base of the aorta, L & R coronary arteries are the main coronary arteries
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
are blocked arteries, may result in the heart attacks, chest pains
Hypertension
chronic High blood pressure
Angina Pectoris
Chest Pains
atherosclerosis
Blood vessel disease can cause strokes and CAD, plaques develop inside arteries
Blood Clots
stack overflow of blood veins due to plaques, can cause heart attacks or stroke.
Thrombus
stationary blood clot, can block blood vessels, where it forms.
Coronary Thombosis
the development of a thrombus that blocks a coronary artery.
Embolus
floating blood clot, forms and floats until it blocks a blood vessels
Coronary Embolism
produced when a embolus blocks a coronary artery downstream fro it was formed.
Plaques
fatty deposits that develop inside arteries.
lipids
- accumulate at injury sites and cling to the interior of the blood vessels walls, narrows artery
Scar tissue
form and calcium is deposited, hardens the artery that was injured, losses normal elasticity.
