16
Q

valves

A

flaps of tissue that prevent back flow of blood

17
Q

vena cava

A

carries blood low in O2 and high in CO2 (DO) from body to right atrium

18
Q

pulmonary artery

A

carries DO blood from heart to lungs

19
Q

pulmonary veins

A

4 veins that carry oxygenated blood from lungs to the heart

20
Q

aorta

A

carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues of the body

21
Q

systole

A

heart (ventricles) contract

22
Q

diastole

A

heart (ventricles) relax

23
Q

cardiac cycle stage 1

A
  1. atria fills with blood
24
Q

cardiac cycle stage 2

A

Atria Contract: Blood moves to ventricles as valves open; artery valves close.

25
cardiac cycle stage 3
Ventricles Contract: Atria-ventricle valves close; blood is pushed into arteries.
26
pulmonary circulation
DO blood to the lungs vid pulm artieries, lungs release CO2 and pickup O2, oxygenated blood is carried back to the heart via pulm veins
27
systematic ciculation
vessels that carry blood to and from body cells
28
coronary circulation
supplies blood to the heart muscle
29
blood pressure
normal is 120/80
30
systolic pressure
caused by netricular contraction, blood heading out of heart to body and lungs
31
diastolic pressure
heart relaxed and is filled with blood
32
Atherosclerosis
Buildup of fatty material inside, hypertension -> arteries could rupture or cause blood clots
33
Angina
Chest pain due to poor blood circulation to the heart * Not enough oxygen to the heart
34
heart attack
blockage in the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow and oxygen to heart, causing heart tissue to die. caused by smoking or high cholesterol
35
stroke
blood clot blocks vessel in brain and it ruptures, paralysis on one side, and cause death
36
embolus
clot that dislodges and jams another vessel
37
aneurysm
weak spot in artery and can cause instant death
