Bio 116 Exam Prep Questions with Verified
Solutions
arteries
blood vessels that go from the heart to the capillary bed. Higher blood pressure
veins
blood vessels that go from capillary beds to the heart. Lower blood pressure
respiration
Exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) at the lung capillaries (external respiration) and at the
tissue capillaries (internal respiration).
transport of glucose
from intestines to tissues and from the liver & muscle stores
Lipid transport
from instestines to body and liver and from adipose tissue and liver
Transport of amino acids
from liver to muscles
Transport (body)
provide water and buffering capacity, transport immune cells through tissues and mineral and trace
elements
pulomonary circulation
circulatory route associated with the lungs in which CO2 load and become oxygenated
systemic circulation
circulation that supplies blood to all the body except to the lungs
Pericardium
,Double-layered membrane surrounding the heart.
aorta
The large arterial trunk that carries blood from the heart to be distributed by branch arteries through
the body.
aortic arch
curve of the aorta
descending aorta
the descending part of the aorta that branches into the thoracic and abdominal aortae
Coronary arties
They supply to the heart the blood that runs through the capillaries in the muscular wall of the heart.
With the blood they bring nutrients, including oxygen. This causes aerobic respiration that provides
enough energy for cardiac muscle contraction.
Branch off the aorta close to the semilunar valves.
pulmonary trunk
carries blood from right ventricle to pulmonary arteries
vertebral artery
Supplies blood to the spinal column and brain.
renal artery
blood vessel that carries blood to the kidney
inferior vena cava
receives blood from all veins below diaphragm
superior vena cava
receives blood fro veins of upper body
, iliac artery
artery that carries oxygenated blood to the hip and groin area
femoral artery
the major artery supplying the leg
carotoid arteries
the large neck arteries, one on each side of the neck, that carry blood from the heart to the head
jugular vein
Vein that carries blood from the head to the superior vena cava
hepatic artery
carries oxygenated blood to the liver
hepatic vein
carries blood that has passed through the small intestine then the liver
hepatic portal vein
the vein that collects blood from the GI tract and conducts it to the liver
renal vein
carries processed blood away from kidneys
femoral vein
carries blood from the thigh and the inner knee back to the heart
carotid artery
deliver blood to neck head and brain
ascending aorta
carries oxygenated blood from the heart
pulmonary artery
