What components make up the integumentary system?
The integumentary system includes the skin, hair, nails, sweat, and other exocrine glands.
What is the role of the immune system?
The immune system defends the body against pathogens that may harm the body.
What is the primary function of the heart?
The heart pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.
Where is the heart located in the human body?
The heart is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest.
What separates the right and left sides of the heart?
The septum separates the right and left sides of the heart.
What type of blood is found in the right chambers of the heart?
The right chambers of the heart contain deoxygenated blood.
What ensures one-directional blood flow through the heart?
Valves ensure that blood flows through the heart in one direction.
What is the average heart rate per minute?
The heart beats on average 75 times per minute.
What is the pulmonary circulation?
Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood from the right ventricle to the lungs and back to the left atrium.
What happens during systemic circulation?
In systemic circulation, blood travels from the left ventricle to the body and back to the right atrium.
What is the function of the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system carries a clear fluid called lymph and is part of the immune system.
What is the role of cardiac muscle in the heart?
Cardiac muscle in the heart maintains a constant circulation of blood and has its own inherent rhythm.
What occurs during atrial systole?
During atrial systole, the atria contract and force any remaining blood into the ventricles.
What is the function of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves during ventricular systole?
During ventricular systole, the tricuspid and bicuspid valves close to prevent backflow and blood is forced into the pulmonary artery and aorta.
