| The Role of the blood circulatory system | Transports oxygen & nutrients to the cells; Pick up metabolic waste and carbon dioxyde (CO2) ; Transports the hormones to different organs. |
| how can extracellular fluid or interstitial fluid be defined? | body fluid that is not contained in cells. It is found in blood, in lymph, in body cavities lined with serous (moisture-exuding) membrane, in the cavities and channels of the brain and spinal cord, and in muscular and other body tissues. |
| What is Edema? | Excess of plasma fluid in the tissue |
| Name 2 contra-indication for lymphatic drainage | Pregnant People People with Extreme Cellulite People with Viruses |
| What carries the blood away from the heart? | Veins |
| Structure in the blood that give it its red color | White blood cells AKA Leucocytes |
| Substance that gives blood it's red color | Hemoglobin |
| Name given to any tube that carries blood | Blood Vessels |
| Straw colored Part of the blood that is made of mostly water | Plasma |

| White blood cells are also known as | Leucocytes |
| More than half of your blood is made of a liquid called ______ which makes up _____ % 2 Answers | Plasma 55% |

| Besides fighting off toxins, viruses, tumorous cells, parasites, bacterias. What else does WBC do? | Defends the organism by Phagocytosis of by secreting antitoxins |
| What brings oxygenated blood to the cells? | Arteries arterioles and capillaries |
| What brings deoxygenated blood to the heart? | Veins Veinules Capillaries |
| Constant blood flow to the flow. How many pumps per minute? | 60-100 |
| Factors that influence blood circulation | Blood flow: amount of blood pumped into the blood circulation (normal = 5L/min) Resistance (of the arteries) Blood pressure: Pressure exerted by the blood on the internal walls of the arteries. |
| What are the causes of high blood pressure? | High blood pressure occurs when the heart works harder to force the blood out from the left ventricle and into the aorta. Caused by: Bad eating habits; Alcool; Cigarettes; Kidney malfunction; Hardening of the arteries (may be hereditary); Lack of elasticity of the arteries |
| What causes low blood pressure? | Heredity; Hormones; Choc |

| Redness that often accompanies couperose | Erythrosis |
| Star-shaped teleangiectasia | Stellar angioma |
| Made up of clusters of capillaries at the surface of the skin, forming a small round dome | Cherry angiomas |
