Cardiac 2
Heart chamber that receives deoxygenated blood from the vena Cava
Right Atruim
Heart chamber that receives deoxygenated blood from the Right Atrium
Right ventricle
Heart chamber that receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary
Left Atruim
Heart chamber that receives oxygenated blood from the Left Atrium
Left ventricle
A one-way calve where blood flows from the Right Ventricle
Tricuspid valves
A one-way valve where blood flows from the right ventricle to the lungs
Pulmonary valve
A one-way valve where blood flows from the Left Ventricle
Mitral Valve
A one-way valve where blood flows from the Left Ventricle to the rest of the body
Aortic Valve
And Artery where oxygenated blood flows from the Left Ventricle to the Stomach and legs
Abdominal Artery
Measures the force if the blood pressure against the artery walls when the Ventricles contract
Systole
Measures the force of the blood pressure against the artery wall when the Ventricles relax
Diastole
is the pressure of the blood against the artery walls( normal blood pressure=120/80 mmHg)
Blood pressure
High blood pressure
Hypertension
low blood pressure
Hypotension
