Cardiovascular Flashcards
What does the tricuspid valve do
Controls blood flow between right atrium and right ventricle
Type of lymphocyte which develop into cells that produce anti-bodies
B
A localized abnormal dilation of a blood vessel, usually an artery
Aneurysm
A1C value for pre-diabetic
5.7-5.9
A double walled connected tissue sac that surrounds the outside of the heart and great vessels
Pericardium
The wall between the right and the left ventricle
Ventricular septum
The wall between the atria
Atrial septum
Where does blood go after the right ventricle
Pulmonary valve
The amount of blood pumped from the left or right ventricle per minute
Cardiac output
Angina that occurs a predictable level of exertion, exercise or stress and responds to rest or nitroglycerin
Stable angina
What two structures is the aortic valve between
The left ventricle and aorta
Normal ranges for stroke volume
60-80mL
The veins that carry oxygenated blood from the right and left lungs to the left atrium
Pulmonary veins
The volume of air in the lungs after of maximal expiration; the sum of the lung volumes
Total Lung Capacity
The vein that returns venous blood from the lower body and viscera to the right atrium
Inferior vena cava
What side is the tricuspid valve on
Right
What is the normal pacemaker of the heart
SA node
The volume of blood ejected by each contraction of the left ventricle
Stroke volume
Volume of change that occurs between maximal inspiration of maximal expiration
Vital Capacity
The endothelial tissue that lines the interior of the heart chambers and valves
Endocardium
The Thick contractile middle layer of muscle cells that forms the bulk of the heart wall
Myocardium
What does the mitral valve do
It controls blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle
The vein that returns venous blood from the head, neck, and arms to the right atrium
Superior vena cava
What two structures is the pulmonary valve between
The right ventricle and pulmonary artery
Type of white blood cell that participates in allergic responses
Basophils
Decreased blood volume specifically the volume of plasma
Hypovolemia
Type of angina that is usually more intense, last longer, is precipitated by less exertion, occurs spontaneously at rest, is progressive, or any combination of these features
Unstable angina
Type of angina that occurs due to coronary artery spasm And associated with coronary artery disease
Prinzmetal (variant) angina
The serous layer of the pericardium. Contains epicardial coronary arteries and veins, autonomic nerves, and lymphatic
Epicardium
The body’s largest artery in the central conduit of blood from the heart to the body
Aorta
Type of white blood cell that ingests dead or damage cells and help defend against infectious organisms
Monocyte
What side is the mitral valve on
Left
Type of lymphocyte that protects against viral infection and can destroy some cancer cells
T
The arteries that carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the left and right lungs
Pulmonary arteries
What happens to the tricuspid valve when the right ventricle contracts to pump blood
It closes
Normal blood volume for adults
4.5-5L
A1C value for diabetes
6.5
Where does blood go after left ventricle
Aortic valve
Type of white blood cell that kills parasites destroy cancer cells and are involved in allergic responses
Eosinophil
WBCs that help protect the body against infections ingesting bacteria and debris
Neutrophils
A1C value for normal (non-diabetic)
5.6
Normal BMI
18.5-24.9
The volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of the maximum expiration
Residual Volume
A transient precordial sensation of pressure or discomfort resulting from myocardial ischemia
Angina
