Question
Answer
Diastole   phase of a cardiac cycle when a heart chamber wall relaxes  
🗑
cardiac output   amount of bllood per minute pumped by the heart  
🗑
Endocardium   inner lining of heart chambers  
🗑
Epicardium   outside of pericardium. on surface of heart  
🗑
ischemia   deficiency of blood to a body part.  
🗑
mitral valve(bicuspid)   between left atrium and left ventricle.  
🗑
myocardium   heart muscle tissue  
🗑
systole   phase of cardiac cycle when a heart chamber wall contracts.  
🗑
Epicardium   outer layer of the heart that reduces friction from surrounding organs  
🗑
Endocardium   covers heart valves and lines heart chambers.  
🗑
Cardiac Veins   parallel to coronary arteries. Drain into coronary sinus. Empties into right atrium. Located on posterior side of heart.  
🗑
3 layers of heart blood vessels   tunica intima(endothelium), Tunica media, and tunica externa  
🗑
Tunica media   middle layer of heart blood vessel. Thickest layer in arteries.  
🗑
Tunica externa   Outer layer of heart blood vessel. This is the thickest layer in a vein.  
🗑
Portal circulation   carries blood drained from the stomach, intestines, and spleen to the liver.  
🗑
P-Wave   atria depolarization. Sa-nod spreads impulse  
🗑
QRS Complex   ventricular depolarization. Atria repolarization.  
🗑
T-Wave   Ventricular repolarization.  
🗑
Parasympathetic nerve impulses(in relation to heart rate)   causes heart rate to slow down.  
🗑
sympathetic nerve impulses(in relation to heart rate)   causes heart rate to speed up.  
🗑
High levels of serum potassium(K+)(in relation to cardiac cycle)   causes the heart to be excitable  
🗑
Calcium(Ca2+) (in relation to cardiac cycle)   important to cardiac muscle contraction. If too much is present, prolonged contractions. Too little, heart becomes weak.  
🗑
First heart sound(s1 or LUB)   Caused by the closure of the atrioventrical valves.  
🗑
Second heart sound(s2 or DUB)   caused by the closure of the semilunar valves  
🗑
