| cardiovascular | pertaining to the heart and blood vessels |
| heart | hollow muscular organ located in the thoracic cavity |
| pericardium | is the double-walled membranous sac that encloses the heart |
| epicardium | is the external layer of the heart and the inner layer of the pericardium |
| myocardium | is the middle and thickest of the hearts 3 layers |
| endocardium | which consists of epithelial tissue, is the inner lining of the heart |
| coronary arteries | which supply oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium |
| atria | are the two chambers of the heart, and these are divided by the interatrial septum |
| ventricles | are the two lower chambers of the heart, and these chambers are divided by the interventricular septum |
| tricuspid valve | controls the opening between the right atrium and the right ventricle |
| pulmonary semilunar valve | is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery |
| mitral valve | is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle |
| aortic semilunar valve | is located between the left ventricle and the aorta |
| pulmonary circulation | is the flow of blood only between the heart and lungs |
| pulmonary arteries | carry deoxygenated blood out of the right ventricles and into the lungs, this is the only place in the body where deoxygenated blood is carried by arteries instead of veins |
| pulmonary veins | carry the oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart, this is the only place in the body where the veins carry oxygenated blood |
| systemic circulation | includes the flow of blood to all parts of the body expect the lungs |
| heartbeat | is the ability to pump blood efficiently throughout the body; the contraction and relaxation of the (beating) of the heart must occur in exactly the correct sequence |
| sinoatrial node | which is often referred to as SA node is located in the posterior wall of the right atrium near the entrance of the superior vena cava |
| atrioventricular node | also know as AV node is located on the floor of the right atrium near the interatrial septum |
| bundle of His (HISS) | is a group of fibers located within the interventricular septum, these fibers carry an electrical impulse to ensure the sequence of the heart contracts |
| Purkinje fibers | are specialized conductive fibers located within the walls of the ventricles, they relay the electrical impulses to the cells of the ventricles |
