Anatomy- Circulatory System

QuestionAnswer
Definition of anatomy the study of the STRUCTURES of the body
Anatomical organization atoms->molecules->cells->tissues->organs->organ systems->body
Anatomy of circulatory System heart and circulatory system (veins,arteries,arterioles,venules,capillaries)
What is the fluid filled sac surrounded by the heart called pericardium
What layer of the heart is the outer layer epicardium
What layer of the heart is the middle layer myocardium
What layer of the heart is the inner layer endomardium
What are the 2 upper chambers of the heart LA-left atrium RA-right atrium
What are the 2 lower chambers of the heart LV-left ventricle RV-right ventricle
What are the 2 Septa (Inner Chambers) called Intra-atrial Septum Intra-ventricular Septum
Which heart valve separates RA from RV tricuspid valve
Which heart valve separates RV from Pulmonary Artery pulmonary valve
Which heart valve separates LA from LV mitral valve
Which heart valve separates LV from Aorta aortic valve
Deoxygenated blood from the body is carried to the heart by the superior vena cava & inferior vena cava
Where does bolod flow from the body after it is carried from the superior & inferior vena cava Right Atrium
Where does blood flow from the body after the right atrium tricuspid valve
Where does blood flow from the body after the tricuspid valve Right Ventricle
Where does blood flow from the body after the RV pulmonary semilunar valve
Where does blood flow from the body after the pulmonary semilunar valve pulmonary trunk
Where does blood flow from the body after the pulmonary trunk pulmonary arteries
Where does blood flow from the body after the pulmonary arteries lungs, where it becomes oxygenated
Where does blood flow from the lungs first pulmonary veins
Where does blood flow from the lungs after pulmonary veins Left Atrium
Where does blood flow from the lungs after LA mitral valve
Where does blood flow from the lungs after mitral valve Left Ventricle
Where does blood flow from the lungs after LV aortic semilunar valve
Where does blood flow from the lungs after aortic semilunar valve aorta
Where does blood flow from the lungs after aorta oxygenated blood enters the body
55% of blood is made up of this plasma (liquid portion of blood)
45% of blood is made up of this erythrocytes (red blood cells)
1% of blood is made up of this thrombocytes (platelets) & leukocytes (white blood cells)
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are arteries
Small arteries are arterioles
Blood vessels that carry blood to the heart are veins
Small veins are called venules
small blood vessels that connect arterioles & venules; site of gas, nutrients,waste & hormone exchange capillaries
The longest vein in the body is the great saphenous vein
The largest vein is the inferior vena cava
The largest and longest Artery is the aorta
The top number in the blood pressure reading systolioc
The bottom number in the blood pressure reading diastolic
The pressure measured when your heart beats systolic
The pressure in the arteriesw when the heart rest between beats diastolic
Normal blood pressure reading 120/80
High blood pressure is called hypertension
Low blood pressure is called hypotension
Slow heart rate under 60BPM bradycardia
Fast heart rate over 100BPM Tachycardia
Heart rates are measured by the number of times the ventricles contract per minute (BPM)
