the aorta ends by dividing into two common arteries. each divides into an internal artery that supplies the pelvic cavity and an external artery that supplies the lower extermity
Iliac arteries
provide blood to the head and brain

Aorta
the arteriesbring blood to the lungs, The veins bring the oxygenated blood back to the heart

this can be fatal if not treated with B-12 and iron diet
abnormal dilation of blood vessel, usually an artery due to a congenital defect or weakness of the vessel that can be caused by hyperextension, bacterial infection or injury
Aneurysm
common locations of aneurysm
abdominal aorta and cerebral
symptoms are shortness of breath, cough, difficulty swallowing, unequal radial pulse
Abdominal Aorta
when this ruptures causes stroke (aka CVA = cerbral vascular accident)
Cerebral
a chest pain caused by temporary insufficience of blood supply to the heart muscle, triggered by exertion and relieved by rest
angina or angina pectoris
a thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity in the wall of arteries.
arteriosclerosis
form of arteriosclerosis, characterized by fibrous tissue, lipids, and calcium deposits. Walls of arteries filled with plaque
artherosclerosis
the heart doesn't maintain adequate circulation of the blood
congestive heart failure (CHF)
an abnormal heart sound. Produced by blood passing over a roughened valve, flowing through a constricted opening, flowing through a a defect between ventricles of flowing backwards through a valve that does not close correctly
heart murmur
blood passing over a roughened valve
rheumatic heart disease
Flowing over a constricted opening
mitral stenosis
flowing backwards through a valve that does not close correctly
mitral regurgitation
hereditary blood disorder characterized by prolonged bleeding time may also cause joint swelling
hemophiliac
aka the silent killer, high blood pressure, increase in either systolic or diastolic pressure
hypertension
top number in blood pressure reading, the pressure by which blood is forced through a constricted vessel
systolic pressure
bottom number pressure by which blood is forced through a relaxed vessel
diastolic pressure
to listen with a stethoscope, the sounds come from turbulence of blood passing through closed valves
auscultation
blood pressure is measured with a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope, together it is called...

hodgkins disease
is more malignant form of lymphoma and faster growing often with a prognosis of 4-6 months
non hodgkins disease
swelling can be localized or systemic (within blood), tissues swell because they contain excess fluid. Common locations, feet, ankles, lower legs.
edema
inflammation of a vein from injury, surgery or infection. Symptoms include pain and inflammation along the course of the vein and swelling
Phelbitis
blood clot that travels is...
embolism
indicates the presence of a blood clot
thrombophebitis
Function of the lymphatic system is to collect and process (4)
excess tissue fluid, invading micro organisms, damaged cells, protein molecules that are too large or toxic to return to blood through capillaries
the lymphatic duct that carries only a quarter of the lymph produced in the body from the right side of the body above the body, above the diaphragm
right lymphatic duct
The lymphatic system's main drainage system, which carries lymph produced from the rest of the body
thoracic duct
origin of the thoracic duct where the abdominal lymph vessels converge
Pecquet's Cistern
small organs typically found where several lymph vessels converge. They play a part in the body's immune defense system
Lymph nodes
tubes that begin as lymph capillaries and carry lymph throughout the body
