Cardiovascular Flashcards
Left Atrium
Receives oxygenated blood from lungs thru pulmonary vein
Left Ventricle
Pumps oxygenated blood to body via aorta
Right Atrium
Receives deoxygenated blood from body thru vena cava
Right Ventricle
Sends blood to lungs thru pulmonary trunk
Aorta
Sends blood to the body
Pulmonary Trunk
Sends blood to the lungs
Left Pulmonary Artery
Branch of pulmonary trunk to left lung
Right Pulmonary Artery
Branch of pulmonary trunk to right lung
Left Pulmonary Vein
Comes from left lung
Right Pulmonary Vein
Comes from right lung
Inferior Vena Cava
Brings blood from lower body
Superior Vena Cava
Brings blood from upper body
Mitral/Bicuspid Valve
Valve between left atrium and ventricle
Tricuspid Valve
Valve between right atrium and ventricle
Aortic Semilunar Valve
Valve between left ventricle and aorta
Pulmonary Semilunar Valve
Valve between right venticle and pulmonary artery
Ischemia
low blood (oxygen) supply to the heart
Angina Pectoris
chest pain caused by ischemia
Myocardio Infarction
Complete obstruction of coronary artery
Myocardio Infarction symptoms
- Pain or pressure in chest that can radiate down left arm
- Shortness of breath
- irregular heart rhythms
Pulmonary Circuit
Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygen into red blood cells
