Q

HEMOGLOBIN

Q

heartbeat contraction 6 steps

A

1 impulse in SINOATRIAL (SA) NODE
2 contraction in ATRIA which forced blood into VENTRICLES
3 impulse in ATRIOVENTRICULAR (AV) NODE
4 impulse down AV bundle
5 impulse to right and left septum
6 impulse in Purkinje fibers of VENTRICLES

Q

flow of SYSTEMIC SYSTEM

from lungs to heart to rest of the body

A

LUNGS > PULMONRY VEINS > L ATRIUM > L AV (BICUSPID, MITRAL) VALVE > L VENTRICLE > AORTIC SEMILUNAR VALVE > AORTA > BODY

17
Q

ATHEROSCLEROSIS

A

buildup of plaque in blood vessels

reduces flow of blood

when plaque breaks of, it can travel to smaller vessles and block

18
Q

HEART ATTACK

A

when flow of blood to a part of heart muscle is blocked causing cardiac muscle tissue to die

19
Q

HYPERTENSION

A

high blood pressure

20
Q

which vessels carry deoxygenated blood?

A

PULMONARY ARTERIES and VENA CAVA

21
Q

VENA CAVA

A

carries deoxygenated blood to heart

22
Q

PULMONARY ARTERIES

A

carries deoxygenated blood away from heart and to lungs

23
Q

why are arteries thicker and more elastic than veins?

A

arteries are under greater pressure from heartbeat

24
Q

blood pressure reads

__/__ mm Hg

A

systole/diastole mm Hg

25
Q

oxygenated blood passes thru which vessels?

A

MITRAL and AORTIC VALVES

26
Q

STROKE

A

rupture of blood vessel in brain
