2 Systems Making circulatory systes
Cardiovascular system
Lymphatic system
5 types of blood vessles
Arteries Arterioles capillaries Venules Veins
arter/o

-ole
little
lymphatc/o
lymphatic
carotid artery
up left side of neck
carotid vein
down right side of neck
subclavian artery
behind left clavicle
subclavian vein
behind right clavicle
aorta
out of heart
superior vena cava
down from subclavian vein into heart
pulmonary artery
delivering blood to lungs from Rt Ventricle
pulmonary veins
removing depleted blood from lungs
coronary artery
artery(s) around heart
inferior venacava
vein at base of heart (right side)
abdominal artery
artery from base of heart down
common iliac artery
artery branches around pelvis
external iliac vein
vein behind ilium in pelvis
external iliac artery
artery behind ilium in pelvis
femoral artery
artery in upper thigh
femoral vein
vein in upper thigh
systolic pressure
max pressure on artery wall (when heart is beating/ constricting)
diastolic pressure
pressure on artery when heart is relaxed

arteriol/o
areteriole
ather/o

phleb/o
ven/o

venul/o
venule
angina pectoris
chest pain (typically caused by constriction due to insufficient blood supply to the heart)
arrhythmia
dysrhythmia
irregular heart beat
cardiomegaly
enlarged heart
congenital defects
abnormalities present since birth
congestive heart failure (CHF) or heart failure
weakness, breathlessness and edema in lower portions of the body; heart is too weak to perform its function properly
coronary artery disease (CAD)
reduces flow of blood to myocardium
fibrillation
abnormally fast heart beat such limiting ability to pump blood
hypotension
low blood pressure
95/60 for avg adult
infarction
localized necrosis of tissue due to poor blood supply
occlusion
obstruction / blockage
stenosis
narrowing of the artery
myocardial ischemia
insufficient blood supply to the myocardium
thrombus
internal blood clot
embolism
sudden blockage in artery or lymph vessel caused by foreign matter
embolus
foreign matter
sinoatrial
natural pacemaker
cardioversion
resetting normal heard beat with electrical shocks
lytic
capable of destroying
Components of the Lymphatic system
