Document Summary

Blood is 55% plasma with 45% rbc"s, wbc"s and platelets. Wbc"s are the only blood components that can migrate in and out of tissues. Wbc"s are made from lymphocytes, monocytes and myeloblasts. Plasma is the medium through which materials are transported throughout the blood. Blood clots when a fibrin network forms as collagen clings to it, catching rbc"s and platelets to block loss of blood flow. Blood pressure is the pressure of blood against vessels. Blood flows through the circulatory system from the pulmonary system to the systemic system and back again. Begins as deoxygenated blood in the right atrium where it pumps through to the right ventricle where the pulmonary artery takes it the lungs. It is returned to the left atrium after being oxygenated and is pumped through to the left ventricle and out to the body through the aorta. It returns to the heart through the inferior or superior vena cava.
