question/term
answer/definition
cardiovascular system   consists of the heart and blood vessels that work together to transport blood throughout the body  
🗑
the heart ______ blood throughout the body   pumps  
🗑
blood vessels ________blood throughout the body   transport  
🗑
heart   muscular organ that consists of 4 chambers  
🗑
4 chambers of the heart   right atrium and left atrium (upper chambers) right ventricle and left ventricle (lower chambers )  
🗑
septum   divides the heart into left and right portions  
🗑
interatrial septum   separates the atria  
🗑
interventricular septum   separates the ventricles  
🗑
heart valves open and close to maintain ________ through the heart   one way flow of blood  
🗑
4 heart valves   mitral, tricuspid, aortic, pulmonary  
🗑
layers of the heart   endocardium, myocardium, epicardium, and pericardium  
🗑
endocardium   membrane that lines the interior cavities of the heart  
🗑
myocardium   thick, muscular layer  
🗑
epicardium   outer membrane  
🗑
pericardium   loose, protective sac that surrounds and encloses the heart  
🗑
inferior and superior vena cava dump deoxygenated blood into the _________   right atrium  
🗑
atrial contraction leads to _______   the opening of the tricuspid valve to allow blood to flow into the right ventricle  
🗑
ventricular contraction leads to ______   blood through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery  
🗑
pulmonary circulation   passage of blood from right ventricle through the pulmonary artery to lungs and back through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium  
🗑
with atrial contraction the mitral valve opens to _______   allow blood to flow into the left ventricle  
🗑
systemic circulation   contraction of the left ventricle pushes blood through aortic valve into aorta and on to all parts of the body through arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins  
🗑
blood returns to the _______   right atrium  
🗑
coronary circulation   supplies blood to the heart  
🗑
which organ is the first to receive oxygenated blood via right and left coronary arteries   heart  
🗑
angi/o, vas/o, 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, steth/o   chest  
🗑
phleb/o, ven/o   vein  
🗑
sphygm/o   pulse  
🗑
thromb/o   clot  
🗑
varic/o   swollen, twisted vein  
🗑
ventricul/o   ventricle (belly or pouch)  
🗑
blood pressure   force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of the arteries, veins, and heart chambers  
🗑
blood pressure is determined by   the volume of the blood, the space within the arteries and arterioles, and the force of the heart contractions  
🗑
diastole   period in cardiac cycle when blood enters relaxed ventricles from the atria  
🗑
systole   period in cardiac cycle when heart is in contraction and blood is ejected through the aorta and pulmonary artery  
🗑
normotension   normal blood pressure  
🗑
hypotension   low blood pressure  
🗑
hypertension   high blood pressure  
🗑
cardiac conduction   provides electrical stimulus that is necessary to cause the heart muscle to pump blood by the continual contraction and relaxation of myocardial cells  
🗑
myocardial=   heart muscle  
🗑
cardiac conduction pattern   SA node -> AV node -> bundle of His -> right and left bundle branches -> purkinje fibers  
🗑
pacemaker of the heart   sinoatrial node  
🗑
states of myocardial cells during cardiac conduction   polarization -> depolarization -> repolarization  
🗑
polarization   resting state  
🗑
depolarization   contracting state  
🗑
repolarization   resting state  
🗑
ACE   angiotensin converting enzyme  
🗑
ACS   acute coronary syndrome  
🗑
ASD   atrial septal defect  
🗑

🗑
ECHO   echocardiography  
🗑
MVP   mitral valve prolapse  
🗑
NSR   normal sinus rhythm  
🗑
PCI   percutaneous coronary intervention  
🗑
PDA   patent ductus ateriosus  
🗑
PVC   premature ventricular contraction  
🗑
SCA   sudden cardiac arrest  
🗑
