ensures blood flows in one direction, preventing backflow of blood
stretchable
blood pressure in the veins is much lower than in arteries
elasticity enables walll to stretch and recoil
to withstand high pressure of blood flowing through from heart
produces by bone marrow, lobed nucleus, granular/ non granular cytoplasm, engulfs and digest bacteria in process called phagocytosis
produced by lymph nodes, round nucleus non granular cytoplasm, produces antibodies during invasion by foreign particles
becomes memory cells that can recognise same invaders
body becomes immune
immune system reacts to the pathogen by producing antibodies against it
administering weekend or deadpathogens to healthy person
agglutination of foreign bodies
attach and bind to the foreign bodies
neutralise toxins
to protect the body against infections and diseases
colourless, irregular in shape, able to squeeze through pores in capillary wall to reach site of infection, has nucleus
enable bending through narrow capillaries
increased volume for absorption of oxygen
increased surface area for absorption of oxygen
iron containing protein complex found in red blood cells which has high affinity for oxygen; carries oxygen
most muscular, excert very high pressure on blood, pump oxygenated blood from heart to all parts of body
receive oxygenated blood from pulmonary vein and pump into left ventrivle
biscupid valves
less muscular, pump deoxygenated blood to lungs
receive deoxygenated blood from vena cava and pump into right ventricle
triscupid valves
