| Pulmonary artery | Artery carrying oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs |
| Pulmonary circulation | Flow of the blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart. |
| Pulmonary valve | Valve positioned between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. |
| Pulmonary vein | One of two pairs of vessels carrying oxygented blood form the lungs to the left atrium o the heart. |
| Pulse | Beat of the heart as felt through the walls of the arteries. |
| Septum Septae (plural) | Partition or wall deviding a cavity; such as between the right and left atria (interarterial septum) and right and left ventricles (interventricular eptum). |
| Sinoarterial node (SA node) | Pacemaker of the heart. |
| Sphygmomanometer | Instrument to measure blood pressure. |
| Systemic circulation | Flow of the blood from body tissue to the heart and then from the heart back to body tissue. |
| Valve | Structure n veins or in the heart that temporarily closes an opening so that blood flows in only one direction. |
| Vein | Thin-walled vessel that carries blood from body tissues and lungs back to the heart. Veins contain valves to prevent backflow of blood. |
| Venule | Small vein |
| Tricuspid valve | Located between that right atrium and the right ventricle; it has three (tri) leafets, or cusps. |
| Ventricle | One of 2 lower chambers of the heart. |
| Vena cava Venae cavae (plural) | Largest vein in the body. The superior nd inferior venae cave return blood to the right atrium of the heart. |
| Systole | Contraction phase of the heartbeat. From the greek systole, a contracting |

| aneurysm | localized weak spot in the wall of an artery usually caused by atherosclerosis can cause death |
| Vericose veins | abnormally wooen veins die to faillure of valves |
| Phlebitis | inflammation of vein |
| Ischemia | reduced blood flow or temporary deficiency in blood flow. |
| Cause of ischemia | blockage or narrowing o blood vessel, clots or atheromas. |
| Atria | one of two upper chambers of the heart, receiving chamber |
| Ventricle | one of two lower chambers of the heart reveive blood from the atrium |

| leukocyte | white blood cell |
| erythrocyte | red blood cell |
| thrombocyte | platlettes |
| Bundle of HIS | devides into the left bundle branch and the right bundle branch which form the conduction myofibers that extend through the ventricle wall and contract on stimulation |
| Purkinje fibers | located in the inner ventricle wall of the heart. Allow the hearts conduction system fo create synchronized contractions of its ventricles to maintain regular rhythm. |
| Sino-atrial node | pace maker of the heart |
| Atrio-ventricular node | specialized tissue in the wall between the atria |
| heart attack | congestive heart failure |
| arrhythmia | abnormal heart rhythms |
| Bradycardia | fast heart beat |
| Tachycardia | slow heart beat |
