cardiovascular Flashcards
Serous membrane that surrounds the heart
pericardium
visceral portion of the pericardium on the surface of the heart: outside
epicardium
muscle tissue of the heart: middle
myocardium
inner lining of the heart chambers
endocardium
chamber of the heart that receives blood from veins
atrium
The lower portions of the heart
ventricles
Valve between the right atrium and right ventricle
tricuspid valve
valve from right ventricle to the pulmonary trunk
pulmonary valve
valve between the left ventricle and the left atrium
bicuspid valve
artery that supplies blood to the wall of the heart
Coronary arteries
vessel that returns blood from the myocardiam into coronary sinus
cardiac veins
Myocardial contractions and relaxation that make a heart beat
cardiac cycle
A recording of electrical activity of a heartbeat
Electrocardiogram
vessels going away from the heart
arteries
small blood vessels that connect arterioles and venues 
capillaries
Blood pressure during systolic phase of cardiac cycle
systolic pressure
lowest blood pressure during di systolic cardio cycle
disystolic pressure
volume blood pumped for a minute by each adventure goal
cardiac output
The amount of blood in the body
blood volume
convey deoxygenated blood to the right atrium
vena cava
receives blood from the left ventricle
aorta
flaps that prevent blood from returning to the left ventricle
aortic valve
