Which of the following is the best description of what happens in capillaries?
A. Capillaries are surrounded by thicker smooth muscle moving blood cells to exchange nutrients and oxygen.
B. Capillaries connect minor veins to major veins returning blood to the heart.
C. Capillaries are the location where oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients are exchanged with tissues at the cellular level.
D. Capillaries are the site where blood mixes with interstitial fluid to allow for gas and nutrient exchange.
Blood is a crucial component of the cardiovascular system. Beside each job, write which type of blood cell does that job.
i. Carry Oxygen or food to your lungs.
ii. Find germs.
iii. Eats foreign things in your body.
iv. Take Carbon Dioxide or waste away.
v. Kill infections.What do you need to do to keep your heart healthy? Create a poster or brochure in which you describe the things a person can do to maintain good heart health.
When cardiac muscle tissue dies in adults, it is replaced with scar tissue composed of dense connective tissue. Explain how scar tissue would affect the function of the cardiac muscle tissue.
A. The scar tissue binds the cardiac muscle together more tightly so heart muscle contractions are less vigorous.
B. The scar tissue cannot contract so the heart will be weaker.
C. The fibers of the dense connective tissue make the heart stronger.
D. The dense connective tissue of the scar tissue transmits the electrical signals to other cardiac muscle cells in the heart allowing the signal to skip over the scar tissue.
