In the table below, trace the path that a red blood cell would follow from the right ventricle back to the right ventricle. Make sure that you list every structure (heart chamber, valve, vessel) that the red blood cell would pass through, and describe the blood as oxygen-rich or oxygen poor STRUCTURE STRUCTURE TYPE GAS COMPOSITION OF BLOOD 1) RIGHT VENTRICLE CHAMBER OXYGEN-POOR 2) VALVE 3) VESSEL 4) ORGAN 5) VESSEL 6) CHAMBER 7) VALVE 8) CHAMBER 9) VALVE 10) VESSEL 11) ORGAN 12) VESSEL 13) CHAMBER 14) VALVE 1) RIGHT VENTRICLE CHAMBER
Trace the path of a red blood cell from the left ventricle to a capillary in the right lung. Name the heart chambers, valves, major blood vessels that the cell would pass through (in order) as well as describing the order of vessel types it would pass through in the lungs and body locations (if appropriate). If there is an option as to the path, choose whatever path you prefer.
a) List at least five things that a circulatory system does to help the body cells. Which of these is most important? b) Name some animals with an “open circ system” ; know how it works with some vessels, heart/pumps and hemolympth blood-like fluid c) what are the general differences between veins, capillaries and arteries? What do we call very tiny arteries? Very tiny veins?
Describe a path a red blood cell would take once it passed though the aortic semilunar valve and traveled to the brain by the way of a carotid artery and returned to the left ventricle. Include any valves, arteries, veins and chambers along the way.
The mother of a three-month-old infant was concerned because her child had little energy and did not seem to be thriving. You examine the child and suspect the presence of a congenital cardiac defect, most likely a patent ductus arteriosus. What other symptoms would accompany this diagnosis? Left-to-right shunting of blood between the atria Notching of the ribs created by dilated intercostal arteries Decreased oxygen in the systemic circulation Distension of the right atrium Increased blood flow in the pulmonary circulation
Describe the path a red blood cell would take once it passed through the aortic semilunar valve and traveled to the brain by way of a carotid artery and returned to the left ventricle. Include any valves, arteries, veins, and chambers along the way
Describe the process of erythropoiesis, beginning with the stem cell and then placing the precursor cells in order until a mature erythrocyte is produced.
The exact cause of blood clotting in the left atrium of the heart during atrial fibrillation (AF) is not known. In part it might be due to blood stasis (not moving) or it may result in combination with endothelial cells damage. (A) What are the potential mechanisms that might drive clotting and what markers might you look for in the blood to predict potential risk? (B) Other than treating the arrhythmia, what other pharmacological intervention might be provided to AF sufferers?
A general principle of physiology states that information flow between cells, tissues, and organs is an essential feature of homeostasis and allows for integration of physiological processes. How is this principle demonstrated by the relationship between the circulatory and endocrine systems?
