Question
Answer
circulatory system   heart, veins, arteries, capillaries; removes waste and circulates vital nutrients  
🗑
angi/o   vessel  
🗑
aort/o   aorta  
🗑
arteri/o   artery  
🗑
ather/o   fatty substance  
🗑
atri/o   atrium  
🗑
cardi/o   heart  
🗑
coron/o   heart  
🗑
hemangi/o   blood vessel  
🗑
phleb/o   vein  
🗑
sphygm/o   pulse  
🗑
steth/o   chest  
🗑
thromb/o   clot  
🗑
valv/o   valve  
🗑
valvul/o   valve  
🗑
vascl/o   blood vessel  
🗑
vas/o   vessel,duct  
🗑
ven/o   vein  
🗑
ventricul/o   ventricle  
🗑
-manometer   measures pressure  
🗑
-tension   pressure  
🗑
-ule   small  
🗑
pulmonary circulation   heart/lungs then -02 back to lungs to get more 02  
🗑
systemic circulation   carries O2 rich blood to the body  
🗑
heart location   mediastinum behind the sternum  
🗑
heart layers   endocardium (inner layer), myocardium (muscular middle layer), epicardium (outer layer divided into visceral pericardium which is the inside of the sac and the parietal pericardium which is the outside of the sac)  
🗑
atria   upper chambers  
🗑
ventricles   lower chambers  
🗑
interatrial septum and interventricular septum   divide atria and ventricles respectively  
🗑
tricuspid valve (AV)   right atrium/right ventricle  
🗑
pulmonary valve (SL)   right ventricle and pulmonary artery  
🗑
bicuspid valve (mitral)   enters left ventricle  
🗑
aoritc valve   leaves left ventricle  
🗑
BLOOD FLOW STEPS 1-3   1) deoxygenated 02 goes into relaxed right atrium via superior and inferior vena cava 2) right atrium contracts blood goes through tricuspid to right ventricle 3) right ventricle contracts sends blood through pulmonary valve, goes to lungs  
🗑
BLOOD FLOW STEPS 4-6   4)left atrium gets blood from heart that has been oxygenated by lungs (comes in via pulmonary veins) 5) left atrium contracts sends blood through bicuspid into left ventricle 6)left ventricle contracts blood goes into the aorta to rest of body  
🗑
relaxed period for a chamber   diastole  
🗑
contraction period for a chamber   systole  
🗑
autonomic nervous system   heart rate is regulated in this method; it is involuntary  
🗑
sinoatrial node   electrical impulse to keep heart beating  
🗑
heart conduction   1) SA node sends impulse to go into atria systole 2) atrioventricular node is stimulated 3)atrioventricular bundle stimulated 4) signal travels down bundle branches 5) Purkinje fibers in myocardium stumulated, ventricular systole  
🗑
lumen   channel in which blood flows through a vessel  
🗑
coronary arteries   branch from aorta  
🗑
arterioles   smallest arteries give blood to capillaries  
🗑
capilaries   thin walled to allow for gas exchange  
🗑
veins   thinner walls, easily collapsible, valves prevent backflow, lower blood pressure  
🗑
venules   blood leaving capillaries enters venules which merge into larger veins  
🗑
arteries   thick walled vessels, high blood pressure to keep blood always flowing (no need for valves)  
🗑
blood pressure   measure of the force exerted against the wall of a blood vessel  
🗑
systolic pressure   when the blood is under a lot of pressure from ventricular contraction it has the highest reading  
🗑
pulse   the surge of blood caused by the heart contraction  
🗑
diastolic pressure   pressure from blood not being pushed by the heart is a t its lowest point  
🗑
auscultation   listening to sounds from the body  
🗑
catheter   flexible tubing for the purpose of moving fluids in or out of the body  
🗑
infarct   an area of an organ that undergoes necrosis once it has no more blood supply  
🗑
ischemia   temporary local deficiency of blood due to an obstruction in the circulation  
🗑
murmur   abnormal heart sound  
🗑
orthostatic hypotension   sudden drop in blood pressure  
🗑
palpitation   pounding heartbeat  
🗑
plaque   fatty deposits of lipids  
🗑
regurgitation   backflow of blood through a valve  
🗑
stent   widens lumen  
🗑
arrhythmia   irregular heartbeat  
🗑
Heart pathology   angia pectoris, bundle branch block, cardiac arrest, cardiomyopathy, congentital septal defect, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, endocarditis, fibrillation, flutter, heart valve prolapse, heart valve stenosis, myocardial infarction  
🗑
Vessel pathology   aneurysm, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, coarctation of the aorta, embolus, hemorrhoid, hypertension, hypotension, patent ductus arteriosus, peripheral vascular disease, polyarteritis, raynaud's phenomenon, thrombophlebitis, thrombus, varicose veins  
🗑
