🗑
Diastole   Relaxation of the heart muscles  
🗑
Phases of contraction   Atrial systole, ventricular systole, and atrial and ventricular diastole  
🗑
Lub   The lub sound of the heart is caused by the closure of both AV valves (bicuspid/tricuspid), this occurs at the end of atrial systole.  
🗑
Dup   The dup sound of the heart is caused by the closure of both semilunar valves of the heart. This occurs at the end of ventricular systole.  
🗑
HR (Heart Rate)   The number of times the heart beats in a minute.  
🗑
SV (Stroke Volume)   The amount of blood pumped by a ventricle each time it contracts.  
🗑
Cardiac output   Cardiac output = Heart rate X stroke volume.  
🗑

🗑
P Wave of ECG   Depolarization (Systole) of the atria  
🗑
QRS Complex of ECG   The depolarization (Systole) of the ventricles. The atria are in diastole at this time but it is not seen on the ECG.  
🗑
T Wave of ECG   The repolarization (Diastole) of the ventricles.  
🗑
Ateries   Carry blood away from heart. (3 layers: tunica intima, tunica media, tunica externa)  
🗑
Arterioles   Small arteries that can constrict and relax to distribute blood flow.  
🗑
Cappiliaries   Microscopic blood vessels used for gas/solute exchange.  
🗑
Veins   Carry blood toward the heart.
