Cardiovascular Dynamics Vessel Resistance Key Terms: 1. Blood flow- the amount of blood moving through a body area or the entire cardiovascular system in a given amount of time. 2. Pheriphial resistance- the opposition to blood flow resulting from the friction developed as blood streams through blood vessels. 3. Viscosity- A measure of the “thickness” of the blood and is caused by the presence of proteins and formed elements in the plasma 4. Systole 5. Diastole 6. End diastolic volume

Body Systems Cardiovascular System - relates to the heart‚ blood vessels and circulation in the body. The cardiovascular system‚ also known as the circulatory system‚ refers to the network that transports blood throughout the body. It is composed of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and blood. There are actually two circulatory systems: * The pulmonary circulation – sends blood from the heart to the lungs. * The systemic circulation – sends blood from the heart to all the other parts of our

1. Why do we need a cardiovascular system? Because we need to get oxygen through our system. 2. Make sure you know which circuits the left and right heart pump into (pulmonary or systemic). Also know the status of blood (fully oxygenated or not) at -the aorta: Left‚systematic‚ and fully oxygenated. -a pulmonary vein: Left side‚ pulmonary‚ and fully oxygenated. Goes from the right side of the body(heart) into the (left) pulmonary veins then goes to the left atrium then to the left ventricle then

The Cardiovascular System The heart is one the primary organs in our body. The cardiovascular (CV) system is made up of the heart‚ the blood and the vessels through which blood travels. The CV system works in sequence with the respiratory system to maintain homeostasis. The heart acts as a pump which move the blood through the blood vessels to the tissues and organs of the body. This allows the CV system to help maintain homeostasis by enabling it to carry out its four major functions
