Anatomy & Physiology Of The Circulatory System Flashcards
SSV
Small Saphenous Veins
ATC
Anterior Thigh Circumflex
PTC
Posterior Thigh Circumflex
Superficial Veins (name them)
GSV SSV ATC PTC VEIN OF GIACOMINI Ant or post accessories of the Great Saphenous Vein (in some patients)
AAGSV or PAGSV
Ant or post accessories of the Great Saphenous Vein
Anatomical positions- name opposites
Superior/inferior Anterior (ventral)/ posterior (dorsal) Medial/lateral Ipsilateral/ contralateral Proximal/distal
Define ipsilateral
Structures on same sides
Define contralateral
Structures on opposite sides of the body
Name (4) planes of the body
Sagittal (para: unequal, mid: equal)
Coronal (frontal: ant/post)
Transverse: (axial: sup/inferior)
Oblique: divide body at an angle
What is the circulatory system?
Delivers oxygenated and nutrients to all cells.
Removes carbon dioxide and waste products
Name the chambers of the heart.
Right and left atrium
Right and left ventricle
Explain pulse and blood pressure measurement
Systole: Heart contracts 60-120 x’s/minute
Diastole: relaxing/filling of heart
Blood pressure: 120 mm/80 hg
Systolic=mm
Dialostic=HG
What side of heart pumps O2 and where?
Left side of heart pumps O2 blood thru aorta to entire blood via arteries
Define arteries.
Blood vessels that carry O2 blood away front the heart. *exception is pulmanated artery.
Define pulmanated artery.
Only artery to not carry O2 blood away from heart. Instead carries de-oxygenated blood to lungs from RIGHT side of heart.
Breakdown artery size names.
Arteries - arterioles - capillaries
