Question
Answer
purpose of the circulatory system   transport O2 and nutrients to the cells and CO@ and waste products away from the cells  
🗑
4 main parts to the circulatory system   heart;blood vessles;blood;lymphatic system  
🗑
where is the heart located   behind the sternum and between the lungs  
🗑
the heart is about the size of a clenched   fist  
🗑
the heart is divided into a right and left side by a muscular wall called the   septum  
🗑
the heart is further divided into   4 chambers  
🗑
name the 4 chambers of the heart   right and left atrium; right and left ventricle  
🗑
the right atrium and ventricle are separated by what valve   tricuspid  
🗑
the left atrium and ventricle are separated by what valve   bicuspid  
🗑
the bicuspid valve is more commonly known as the   mitral valve  
🗑
the name of the lining that covers the interior surface of the heart as well as the valves and interior blood vessels   endocardium  
🗑
outer wall of the heart is surrounded by a sac called the   pericardium  
🗑
the pericaridial layer that lines the sac is   parietal  
🗑
the layer that actually covers the heart   visceral  
🗑
there is fluid between the two layers of pericardium to prevent what when the heart beats   friction  
🗑
the first sound that the heart makes is called   lubb or S1  
🗑
the secodn sound the heart makes is called   dubb or S2  
🗑
the sounds of the heart are a result of what closing   valves  
🗑
S1 is best heard over what area of the heart   apex  
🗑
S1 is best heard over what area   second intercostal space on either side of the sternum  
🗑
the heart exerts its greatest pressure during the contraction phase, it is called   systole  
🗑
the period of least pressure when the heart is relaxing is called   diastole  
🗑
the pacemaker of the heart is referring to the   SA node  
🗑
the SA and AV nodes send electrical impulses through the heart to start the wave of   contractions  
🗑
5 types of blood vessles   arteries,arterioles,cappilaries,veins,venules  
🗑
carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body   arteries  
🗑
carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart   veins  
🗑
the walls of these vessels are thin, one cell structures that allows the passage of molecules into the fluid filled tissue spaces surrounding the cells   capillaries  
🗑
what is the only vein that returns oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart   pulmonary vein  
🗑
what is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs   pulmonary artery  
🗑
deoxygenated blood returns from the body into the   right atrium  
🗑
from the right atrium blood flows through the tricuspid valve into the   right ventricle  
🗑
from the right ventricle blood goes through the pulmonary artery into the   lungs  
🗑
oxygenated blood from the lungs returns via the pulmonary vein into the   left atrium  
🗑
from the left atrium bloods flows through the mitral valve into the   left ventricle  
🗑
left ventricle contracts sends blood out through the aortic semilunar valve into the   aorta  
🗑
the aorta carries the oxygenated blood throughout the   body  
🗑
lymph node becomes tender and swollen in response to infection is called   adenitis  
🗑
organ composed of lymph tissue that lies just beneath the left side of the diaphragm is the   spleen  
🗑
straw colored fluid that makes up half the bloods volume   plasma  
🗑
three protiens that are found in plasma   fibrinogen,serum albumin,serum globulin  
🗑
fibrinogen is needed to help the blood   clot  
🗑
serum albumin helps maintain   blood pressure  
🗑
serum globulin helps form   antibiodies  
🗑
LDL or low density lipoprien is known as the   bad cholesterol  
🗑
HDL or high density lipoprotien is known as the   good cholesterol  
🗑
catheter inserted into the femoral artery to visualize the heart and its vessels   cardiac catheterization  
🗑
tests that uses sound waves to evaluate blood vessles and help diagnose DVT,aneurysms and arterial blockages   doppler ultrasonography  
🗑
test that uses high frequency sound waves to make images of the internal heart structures   echocardiograph  
🗑
most common non invasive test done to identify heart rhythms and detect MI's   EKG  
🗑
type of anemia that is a result of injury or destruction of blood cell formation by the bone marrow   aplastic anemia  
🗑
ballooning out of the wall of an artery often associated with atherosclerosis;arteriosclerosis and hypertension   aneurysm  
🗑
severe chest pain that only lasts a few seconds as a result of a spasm or blockage of coronary arteries   angina  
🗑
what type of aneurysm is detectable by palpating a pulsating mass around the umbilicus   abdominal aortic aneurysm  
🗑
any abnormal changes in the heart rhythm   arrhythmia  
🗑
PVC   premature ventricular contraction  
🗑
PAC   premature atrial contraction  
🗑
PJC   premature junctional contraction  
🗑
inflammation of the peicardium   pericarditis  
🗑
cerebrovascular accident(CVA) also known as   stroke  
🗑
small temporary interruptions of blood flow to the brain lasting a few minutes with no residual affects   transient ischemic attack(TIA)  
🗑
most dangerous type of stroke that causes bleeding in the brain resulting in tissue damage   hemorrhagic stroke  
🗑
poor performance of the heart with related congestion of the circulatory system mostly affecting the left ventricle   congestive heart failure(CHF)  
🗑
a disease of the arteries that surround the heart caused by narrowing or a blockage   coronary artery disease(CAD)  
🗑
a condition in which the heart pumps too weakly to supply the body with blood   heart failure  
🗑
foreign matter such as blood, fat or air that enters and circulates in the blood stream   embolism  
🗑
blood pressure consistently over 140/90   hypertension  
🗑
hypertension that increases over a long period of time is called   benign hypertension  
🗑
rapid, severe increase in blood pressure not easily controlled is considered   malignant hypertension  
🗑
results in thickening of the walls of the ventricles of the heart   hypertrophic cardiomyopathy  
🗑
blood pressure that results in reading below the normal range   hypotension  
🗑
hypotension can result from   acute blood loss;heart failure;shock;kidney failure;thyroid disease  
🗑
abnormal sounds made by blood leaking through a heart vavle   mumur  
🗑
localized inflammation of a vein that causes an alteration of the epithelial lining   phlebitis  
🗑
a secondary condition resulting from chronic venous insufficiency where the blood is stagnant   stasis ulcer  
🗑
refers to a leaking valve   stenotic  
🗑
consistently high heart rate   tachycardia  
🗑
consistently low heart rate   bradycardia  
🗑
stainless steel mesh tube used to keep coronary arteries open   stent  
🗑
autosomal recessive inheritated trait that results in sickle shaped RBC's   sickle cell anemia  
🗑
interference with circulation   infarction  
🗑
backflow of blood   regurgitate  
🗑
device used to deliver a strong electrical current to a persons heart   defibrillator  
🗑
