| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| angi/o | vessel |
| vas/o | vessel |
| vascul/o | vessel |
| aort/o | aorta |
| arteri/o | artery |
| ather/o | fatty (lipid) paste |
| atri/o | atrium |
| cardi/o | heart |
| coron/o | circle or crown |
| my/o | muscle |
| pector/o | chest |
| steth/o | chest |
| sphygm/o | pulse |
| thrombo | clot |
| ven/o | vein |
| phleb/o | vein |
| varic/o | swollen, twisted vein |
| ventricul/o | ventricle (belly or pouch) |
| septum | divides the heart into right and left (interatrial and interventricular) |
| valves of the heart | tricuspid valve, mitral(bicuspid) valve, pulmonary semilunar valve, and aortic valve |
| three layers of the heart | endocardium, myocardium, epicardium |
| pericardium | protective sac around the heart |
| flow of blood: deoxygenated to lung | deoxygenated blood->superior/inferior vena cava -> right atrium -tricuspid valve-> right ventricle-pulmonary semilunar valve->pulmonary artery ->lung |
| flow of blood: oxygenated from lung to circulation | lung ->pulmonary veins->left atrium-bicuspid(mitral)valve->left ventricle-aortic valve->aorta->systemic circulation |
| coronary arteries | supplies blood to the heart, first organ to receive oxygenated |
| atrium | upper right and left chambers of the heart |
| endocardium | membrane lining the cavities of the heart |
| epicardium | membrane forming the outer layer of the heart |
| interatrial septum | partition between right and left atrium |
| interventricular septum | partition between right and left ventricle |
| myocardium | heart muscle |
| pericardium | protective sac enclosing the heart composed of two layers with fluid between |
| parietal pericardium | outer layer of the pericardium |
| pericardial cavity | fluid-filled cavity between the pericardial layers |
| visceral pericardium | layer of pericardium closest to the heart |
| ventricle | lower right and left chambers of the heart |
| heart valves | structures within the heart that open and close with the heartbeat to regulate the one-way flow of blood |
| aortic valve | heart valve between left ventricle and the aorta |
| mitral/bicuspid valve | heart valve between the left atrium and left ventricle |
| pulmonary semilunar valve | heart valve opening from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery |
| tricuspid valve | valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle |
| valves of the veins | valves located at intervals within the lining of veins, especially in the legs, which constrict with muscle action to move blood returning to the heart |
| arteries | vessels that carry blood from the heart to the arterioles |
| aorta | large artery that is the main trunk of the arterial system branching from the left ventricle |
| arterioles | small vessels that receive blood from the arteries |
| capillaries | tiny vessels that join arterioles and venules |
| venules | small vessels that gather blood from the capillaries into the veins |
| veins | vessels that carry blood to the heart from the venules |
| systemic circulation | circulation of blood throughout the body through the blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to body tissues |
| coronary circulation | circulation of blood through the coronary blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle tissue |
| pulmonary circulation | circulation of blood from the pulmonary artery through the vessels in the lungs and back to the heart via the pulmonary vein, providing for the exchange of gases |
