| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| anterior vena cava | Vein that delivers deoxygenated blood to the heart from the lower half of the body. |
| antibody | |
| antigen | Biggest artery in the body that delivers oxygenated blood to the whole body. Is attached to the left ventricle through the bicuspid semilunar valves |
| aorta | the largest vein in the body. carries blood away from the heart (artery) to the rest of the body. |
| arterial duct/atrioventricular valve | Also called AV valve. Determines when blood pours from the atrium into the ventricle. This action is responsible for the heart beat. When the ventricle is pumping blood out these valves slam shut |
| autonomic nervous system | |
| atrioventricular (AV) node | |
| blood | |
| blood pressure | |
| blood velocity | |
| blood vessel | thin blood vessels that form networks (capillaries). |
| capillary-tissue fluid exchange | transfer materials across their thin walls. vessels transport oxygen out into the body, the tissue, and receive carbon dioxide |
| carotid artery | |
| chordae tendineae | |
| coronary artery | |
| coronary vein | |
| diastolic pressure | |
| fetal circulation | |
| heart rate | |
| hepatic portal vein | |
| hepatic vein | |
| hyper tension | |
| hypotension | |
| iliac artery | |
| iliac vein | |
| jugular vein | |
| left atrium | upper left part of the heart that is filled up with blood from the lungs and transports it down to the left ventricle |
| left ventricle | receives blood from the left atrium, that is then pumped out to supply the body with oxygen. |
| lymph capillaries | |
| lymph node | |
| lymphatic system | |
| lymphatic veins | |
| mesenteric artery | |
| oval opening | |
| plasma | |
| platelets | |
| posterior vena cava | carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart |
| pulmonary arteries | carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs |
| pulmonary circulation | cycle where deoxygenated blood gets carried from the right ventricle to the lungs where it is then returned to the left atrium and then to the left ventricle. |
| pulmonary trunk | the base of the pulmonary artery |
| pulmonary veins | |
| Purkinje fibres | |
| red blood cell | |
| renal artery | |
| renal vein | |
| right atrium | receives deoxygenated blood from the anterior vena cava where it is transported to the right ventricle |
| right ventricle | receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the lungs through the pulmonary artery |
| sinoatrial (SA) node | |
| semi-lunar valve | two valves: pulmonary semilunar valve (between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk) and aortic semilunar valve (between left ventricle and aorta). permit blood to enter arteries but prevent blood from going back into the ventricle from those arteries. |
| septum | separates the heart into a left and right section. |
| subclavian artery | |
| subclavian vein | |
| system circulation | |
| systolic pressure | |
| total cross-section area | |
| umbilical artery | |
| umbilical vein | |
| valve | prevent s oxygen from flowing backwards |
| veins | carry oxygen to the heart from the capillary beds. can expand and stores 70% of the bodies blood. |
| venous duct | |
| vessel wall | |
| white blood cell |
