Q

Pulmonary artery function

A

Carries blood to the lungs to refuel (blue)

25
Aorta function
carries blood with oxygen to the whole body (red)
26
General role of a heart valve
Permits fluid in only one direction
27
What are the two chambers of the heart
Atriums ventricles
28
What are the two types of vessels
Veins Arteries
29
What are the two types of valves
Atrioventricular Semilunar
30
Atrioventricular valve function
separates the atria from the ventricles
31
Two types of Atrioventricular valves
Bicuspid (Mitral) Tricuspid
32
Bicuspid valve location
between LA &LV (red)
33
Tricuspid valve location
between RA & RV (blue)
34
Semilunar valve function
Separates each ventricle from artery leading out of the heart
35
two types of semilunar valves
Aortic Pulmonary
36
aortic valve location
between the ascending aorta and LV (red)
37
Pulmonary valve location
between RV and Pulmonary artery (blue)
38
What side of the heart is attached to the lungs
Right
39
Pulmonary loop function
takes oxygen poor blood and moves it to the lungs
40
Systemic circulation function
provides blood to the body
41
Journey of the RBC start LV
LV, Aortic valve, aorta, body (drop off O), Superior and inferior vena cava, RA, pulmonary valve, pulmonary artery, lungs (get O), pulmonary vein, LA, Mitral/bicuspid valve, back to LV
42
Angina
Partially occluded coronary artery
43
Atherosclerosis with thrombus
affects people whose arteries are clogged with fatty deposits; these deposits cause the arteries to harden and narrow over time and increase the risk of blood clots

Atherosclerosis with thrombus
45
Partially occluded coronary artery causes
Angina
46
Myocardial Infarction (MI)
ruptured plaque in the coronary artery which leads to death of heart muscle
47
ruptured plaque in the coronary artery which leads to death of heart muscle
Myocardial infarction (MI)
48
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Calcified aortic valve cannot completely open
49
Calcified aortic valve cannot completely open
Aortic Valve Stenosis
50
Paten foramen Ovale
A hole between the left and right atria of the heart
51
A hole between the left and right atria of the heart
Paten foramen Ovale
52
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
Right ventricle walls become thin and weak and the blood remains in the ventricle. Left ventricle walls are unable to effectively pump blood and the blood remains in the ventricle
53
Right ventricle walls become thin and weak and the blood remains in the ventricle. Left ventricle walls are unable to effectively pump blood and the blood remains in the ventricle
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
54
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
Affects the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart. The walls become thick and stiff and eventually are unable to pump enough blood to sustain the body.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
56
A birth defect of the heart where there is a hole in the septum that separates the two ventricles of the heart
Ventricular Septal Defect
57
Ventricular Septal Defect
A birth defect of the heart where there is a hole in the septum that separates the two ventricles of the heart
58
Bacterial Endocarditis
An infection of the hearts inner lining or heart valve; can have serious complications and lead to death
59
