the organ system of all vertebrates that pumps blood around the body and consts of the blood, heart, and blood vessels.

the fluid tissue that assists in the transport of materials and heat

muscular pump that forces the blood from one part of the body to another

the vessels that carry blood away from the heart and distribute it to the organs

tiny, thin walled tubes that receive blood from arterioles, their function is to assist in the exchange of materials between the blood and cells.

small, disk-shaped cells that lack a nucleus. primary function=to allow the blood to distribute respiratory gases efficiently

the iron containing protein molecule found in rbcs to which oxygen molecules bind

aka leukocytes. formed elements in the blood that lack hemoglobin, have a nucleus, and are involved in defending the body from disease-causing agents. Lymphocytes (L&M) agranular. Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils (NEBs) granular

aka thrombocytes. fragments of specific kinds of white blood cells. important in clotting.

the liquid part of blood, consisting of wanter and dissolved materials, such as a variety of salts, proteins, nutrients. and waste products

one way valves that allow blood to flow from the atria to the verticles and prevent flow in the opposite direction.

the large blood vessel that carries blood from the left ventricle to the majority of the body

the major blood vessel that carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. only artery that carries deoxygenated blood

P-the flow of blood through certain chambers of the heart and blood vessels to the lungs and back to the heart S-the flow of blood through certain chambers of the heart and blood vessels to the general body and back to the heart

S-heart contracting D-heart relaxing

collect blood from the capillaries and return it to the heart. always deoxygenated (except for pulmonary vein)

a collection of lymph organs and lymph vessels that: 1) move fat from the intestinal tract to the blood stream 2) transport excess tissue fluid back to the cardiovascular system 3) defend against harmful agents sucha as bacteria and viruses

• lymph nodes 2. tonsils 3. spleen 4. thymus 5. red bone marrow

small encapuslated bodies found along the lymph vessels that contain large numbers of white blood cells, particularly macrophages and lymphocytes that remove microorganisms and foreign particles from the lymph.

lymph organs located on either side of the throat

continas large numbers of wbcs and filters blood. size of a small pickle, located in the upper left side of the body just below the diaphragm. its job is to clean the blood of pathogens and wornout/damaged rbcs.

located beneath the breastbone. function is to produce wbcs, which are vital to the functioning of the immune system.

produces red and white blood cells and platelets. stem cells found inside bones. found most in children’s bones

the organ system that moves air into and out of the body. consists of the lungs, trachea, air-transport pathway and diaphragm
