heart
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cardiac | relating to the heart. |
| Arteries | distribute oxygen-rich blood to your entire body |
| Arterioles | a small branch of an artery leading into capillaries. |
| Capillaries | any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between the arterioles and venules. |
| Venules | a very small vein, especially one collecting blood from the capillaries. |
| Veins | carrying in most cases oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart. |
| Valves | controlling the passage of fluid |
| Histology | study of the microscopic structure of tissues. |
| Tunica Externa | the outer layer of a blood vessel wall, |
| Tunica Media | the prominent middle layer of blood vessels |
| Tunica Interna | The innermost layer of an artery or vein, |
| Lumen | The cavity of a tubular organ or part |
| Pulmonary Circulation | moves blood between the heart and the lungs. |
| Systemic Circulation | Systemic circulation moves blood between the heart and the rest of the body. |
| Right Atrium | receives blood low in oxygen from the body and then empties the blood into the right vent |
| Tricuspid Valve | opens and closes to ensure that blood flows in the correct direction at the right time |
| Right Ventricle | pumps blood low in oxygen to the lungs |
| Pulmonary Semilunar/Pulmonic Valve | allows blood to exit the right ventricle |
| Pulmonary Artery | limits the amount of blood that can go to your lungs to get oxygen |
| Pulmonary Veins | a vein carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. |
| Left Atrium | receives blood full of oxygen from the lungs and then empties the blood into the left ventricle. |
| Bicuspid/Mitral Valve | prevent blood from flowing backward as it moves through the heart |
| Left Ventricle | pumps blood full of oxygen out to the body. |
| Aortic Semilunar/Aortic Valve | makes blood flow in one direction from the left ventricle to the aorta. |
| Aorta | main and largest artery that carries oxygen-rich blood |
| Chordae Tendineae | The tendinous cords that connect each cusp of the two atrioventricular HEART VALVES |
| Septum | a dividing wall or membrane |
| Trabeculae Carneae | Muscular ridges that crisscross and project from the inner walls of the heart ventricles |
| Papillary Muscles | helping to prevent leakage through the AV valves during systole |
| Apex | bottom |
| Base | formed mainly by the left atrium |
| Left Coronary Artery (Left Main) | supplies blood to the left side of the heart muscle. |
| Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery | supplies the anterior portion of the left ventricle |
| Circumflex Artery | delivers oxygenated blood to your heart’s left pumping chambers. |
| Right Coronary Artery | run along the coronary sulcus of the myocardium of the heart. Their main function is to supply blood to the heart. |
| Carotid Artery | blood vessels that supply blood to your brain, face and neck. |
| Descending Aorta | carries oxygen-rich blood from your heart through your chest and abdomen (belly). |
| Subclavian Artery | supply blood to the upper limbs, thorax, neck, and brain |
| Brachiocephalic Trunk | carries oxygenated blood to the upper right side of your body. |
| Axillary Artery | major blood vessel that supplies blood to your upper arm. |
| Brachial Artery | artery supplies oxygen-rich blood to your upper arm. |
| Radial Artery | one of the major blood supplying vessels to the structures of the forearm. |
| Ulnar Artery | provides an important contribution to the vascular supply to the hand and upper extremity |
| Iliac Artery | blood vessels that provide blood to the legs, pelvis, reproductive organs and other organs in the pelvic area. |
| Femoral Artery | main blood vessel supplying oxygen-rich blood to your lower body. |
| Popliteal Artery | key supplier of oxygen-rich blood to your knee, calf and foot. |
| Dorsalis Pedis (DP) | a main artery of the foot. It is a continuation of the anterior tibial artery as it crosses the ankle joint. |
| Posterior Tibial (PT) | most common form of "flat foot |
| Jugular Vein | major blood vessels that stretch from your head to your upper chest. |
| Brachiocephalic Vein | helps return oxygen-poor blood from your head, neck and arms back to your heart |
| Subclavian Vein | deep vein that moves oxygen-poor blood from your upper body back to your heart. You have one on each side of your body. |
| Axillary Vein | a deep vein of the upper limb that is formed by the union of the brachial and basilic veins. |
| Greater Cephalic Vein | a superficial vein of the upper limb and it's one of the two main veins of the arm. |
| Median Cubital Vein | median cubital vein connects the cephalic and basilic veins |
| Basilic Vein | down the ulnar side of the arm, and also helps in draining the dorsal venous network of the hand. |
| Iliac Vein | carry deoxygenated blood from your lower body to your heart |
| Femoral Vein | large blood vessel in your thigh. This vein collects deoxygenated blood from tissues in your lower leg and helps move it to your heart. |
| Popliteal Vein | drains blood away from the leg into the femoral vein, which drains blood to the inferior vena cava. |
| Greater Saphenous Vein | the longest vein in the body and plays a crucial role in circulation |
