leucocytes
White blood cells
erythrocytes
Platelets
thrombocytes

transport of oxygen
defense of the body
closing of broken blood vessels

2) Match the types of blood vessels to the definitions.

a) arteries
1. microscopic blood vessels that branch out from the arterioles
b) capillaries
2. take blood back to the heart
c) veins
3. carry the blood away from the heart
3) Answer the questions
a) What type of blood (oxygenated or deoxygenated) flows through the pulmonary vein?
b) Does oxygenated or deoxygenated blood flow through the aorta?
c) How many times does blood pass through the heart in a complete circuit?
d) Does blood always flow through the heart in the same direction?
e) What is the function of the sigmoid valves? Where are they found?
f) Is venous blood the same as oxygenated blood?
g) Is arterial blood the same as deoxygenated blood?
