Question | Answer |
What covers the surface of the heart | epicardium (visceral pericardium) |
During a 1st degree heart block, electrical impulses move through | the AV node |
Will heart rate vary with body size and gender | Yes |
Abnormally rapid heart rate is called | Tachycardia |
Arrhythmia | any deviation from the normal pattern of the heartbeat |
Arterioles | the smallest branch of an artery |
The amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute is known as | Cardiac output |
What would NOT be an effect on the heart rate if the SA node is not functioning | Bradycardia |
What is Rheumatic disease | damage to the heart muscle and heart valves caused by episodes of rheumatic fever, caused by staph and strep |
Angina pectoris | is severe chest pain and constriction about the heart, usually radiating to the left shoulder and down the left arm creating a feeling of pressure in the anterior chest |
Starling’s law of the heart | changes force of myocardial contraction by stretch, an increase in stretch causes an increase in force of myocardial contraction and an increase in stroke volume |
What valve is part of the two atrioventricular valves | semilunar valve |
Fetal circulation | the system of blood vessels and structures through which blood moves in a fetus |
Portal vein | carries blood from the digestive tract to the liver |
The hepatic portal vein | is a major component of the hepatic portal system, one of the main portal venous systems in the body |
Hepatic vein | carries blood from the liver to the inferior vena cava |
Hepatic artery | brings oxygen-rich blood to the liver |
Venules | are the smallest veins which collect the deoxygenated blood from the cells for transport back to the heart |
The blood flow sequence | Right atrium » Tricuspid valve » Right ventricle » Pulmonic Valve » Pulmonary artery » Pulmonary capillaries » Pulmonary » Veins » Left atrium » Bicuspid (mitral) valve » Left ventricle » Aortic valve » Aorta |
Systemic circulation | circulation of blood from the left ventricle of the heart throughout the body and back to the right atrium of the heart |
Arteries | large thick-walled vessels that carry the blood away from the heart |
Capillaries | thin walls consisting of a single layer of endothelial cells |
Veins | transport the blood from the venules to the heart |
How many layers of tissue is the heart composed of | 3 Layers: 1.)Endocardium 2.)Myocardium 3.)Epicardium |
What are the 4 chambers of the heart | 1.) Right Atrium 2.) Right Ventricle 3.) Left Atrium 4.) Left Ventricle |
What are the tough fibrous bands that hold the atrioventricular valves in place | Chordae Tendineae |
The right heart pumps the blood to where | to the lungs |
The left heart pumps the blood to where | the rest of the body |
Certain bacterial diseases may damage heart valves. Damage to the left semilunar valve interferes with blood flow into what chamber or vessel | Aorta |
What structures prevent AV valves from opening back into the atria | Chordae tendineae and papillary muscles |
Which two heart chambers contain oxygen-rich blood | Left atrium and Left ventricle |
What is another name for the SA node | the pacemaker of the heart |
What cause the myocardium to contract | Electrical signals |
What is the order of the conduction system | SA node -> AV node-> Bundle of His -> Right and left bundle branches of His -> Purkinje fibers |
What is the average rate of the SA Node | 80 BPM |
What is the average rate of the AV Node | 40 - 50 BPM |
What is happening to cause the Systole | contraction or squeezing |
What is happening to cause the Diastole | relaxation |
What is due to the vibrations caused by closure of the valves | Lubb-dupp |
Which part of the lubb-dupp is caused by the closure of the AV valves at the beginning of the ventricular systole | Lubb |
Which part of the lubb-dupp is caused by the closure of the semilunar valves at the beginning of the ventricular diastole | dupp |
What is the medical term for heart attack | Myocardial Infarction |
What is the medical term for the amount of blood ejected during one beat | Stroke volume |
What is the normal blood pressure | 120/80 |
What is caused by the pumping of the heart or alternating expansion and recoil of the artery creating a pressure wave | pulse |
How much blood does the heart pump everday | 7,200 quarts, approx. 5 quarts per minute or 2.5 ounces per beat |
How many times does the heart beat everyday | about 100,000 times |
How big is the heart | about fist size |
what is the number of times the heart beats per minute | Heart rate |
What is responsible for pumping blood, carrying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide and other waste products | cardiovascular system |
what is between the chest and the lungs | mediastinum |
The area of the chest covering the heart | precordium |
The common wall between the left and right side of the heart | septum |
What enters the septum that separates the right and left ventricles | bundle of his |
What is defined as the pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of the arteries | blood pressure |
localized dilation of a weakened area of the wall of an artery. The weakened area balloons out with every pulsation of the artery | aneurysm |
What is the medical term for harding of the veins | atherosclerosis |
What is the medical term for elevated blood pressure | hypertension |
What is the medical term for low blood pressure | hypotension |
What is the medical term for decreased supply of oxygenated blood to a body part or organ | ischemia |
A low-pitched humming or fluttering sound heard on auscultation | murmur |
what is the medical term for urination at night | nocturia |
Medical term for pounding or racing of the heart | palpitation |
medical term for the formation or existence of a blood clot | thrombosis |
An abnormal growth of tissue around the valve | vegetation |
Enlarged, superficial veins, a twisted, dilated vein with incompetent valves | varicose veins |
