25
Q

Heart

A

Hollow muscular organ located in thoracic cavity. Maintains blood flow throughout the body.

26
Q

Percardium

A

Aka pericardial sac. Double walled sac that encloses the heart.

27
Q

Walls of heart:

A

Epicardium, myocardium and endocardium

28
Q

Epicardium

A

External layer of heart, inner layer of pericardium

29
Q

Myocardium

A

Middle. Aka myocardial muscle. Creates pumping movement that maintains blood flow.

30
Q

Endocardium

A

Inner lining of heart, consists of epithelial tissue, and comes into direct contact with blood as it’s being pumped from the heart

31
Q

Coronary arteries

A

Supply oxygen to myocardium. One pumps oxygen one removes waste/

32
Q

Chambers of heart

A

Atria- upper two chambers

Ventricles - lower two chambers

33
Q

Valves of the heart

A

Tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral and aortic

34
Q

Tricuspid valve

A

Controls opening between right atrium and left ventricle

35
Q

Blood vessels

A

Arteries, capillaries, and veins

36
Q

Arteries

A

Large blood vessels that carry blood away from heart to body. Muscular and elastic.

37
Q

Aorta

A

Largest blood vessel in body

38
Q

Carotid arteries

A

Major artery that carried blood upward to head

39
Q

Arterioles

A

Smallest branches of arteries, deliver blood to capillaries

40
Q

Capillaries

A

Smallest blood vessels in body. Delivers oxygen and nutrient to cell tissue

41
Q

Vein

A

Form a low pressure collecting system to return oxygen poor blood to heart

42
Q

Venae cave

A

Two largest veins in body

43
Q

Pulse

A

Rhythmic pressure against walls of artery caused by contraction of heart

44
Q

Blood pressure

A

Measurement of amount of systolic and diastolic pressure exerted against walls of arteries

45
Q

Systolic pressure

A

Occurs when ventricles contract. Highest pressur against walls of artery

46
Q

Diastolic pressure

A

When ventricles are relaxed, lowest presue against artery walls

47
Q

Plasma

A

Fluid that contains nutrients hormones and waste products

48
Q

Clotting proteins

A

Prothrombin and fibrinogen

49
Q

Formed elements of blood

A

Erythrocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes

50
Q

Major group of leukocytes

A

-neutrophils: most common WBC
-basophils: least common type of WBC
Eosinophils: destroy parasite, major role in allergic reactions.
Lymphocytes: produce antibodies
Monocytes: immunological defenses

51
Q

Thrombocytes

A

Aka platelets. Smallest formed elements of blood.

52
Q

Blood types

A

A, AB, B and O

53
Q

Rh factor

A

Presence or absence of antigen in red blood cells

54
Q

Blood gases

A

Oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen

55
Q

Congenital heart defect

A

Abnormalities caused by failure of heart to develop normally before birth

56
Q

CAD- coronary artery disease

A

Atherosclerosis of coronary arteries that reduces blood supply to heart muscle

57
Q

Atherosclerosis

A

Hardening and narrowing of arteries

58
Q

Angina

A

Severe chest pain because of inadequate blood flow

59
Q

Myocardial infarction

A

Heart attack by blockage of coronary artery

60
Q

Carditis

A

Inflammation of heart

61
Q

Cardiomyopathy

A

All disease of the heart muscle

62
Q

Arrhythmia

A

Loss of normal heartbeat
