chapter 10 test on Cardiovascular system Flashcards
what is the term for abnormally fast hearetbeat?
Tachycardia
The heart is enclosed by a thin double-walled membranous scac called the
Pericardium
Abnormal rapidity of heart action usually defined as a heart over 100 beats per minute
Tachycardia
The heart lies within the mediastinum
True
Any of the small flaps of the heart is known as a
cusp
deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the
inferior and superior vena Cava
What are the pumping chambers of the Heart
left and right ventricles
inflammation of the membrane lining of the heart is known as
pericarditis
*impulses from the AV Node travel first to the **
Bundle of his
what nerve slows down the heart rate
vagus nerve
what connects arteries to the capillaries for the transportation of blood
aetrioles
Rapid, violent or throbbing pulsation or fluttering of the heart is know as
Palpitation
A disease of the heart muscle primarily affecting the pumping ability of the heart
cardiomyopathy
The circulation of deoxygenated blood on the left side of the heart is called pulmonary circulation
false— its the right side
which one of the following is NOT a function of the heart
maintaining respiration
inflammation of the heart muscles
myocarditis
what side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood
Left
what separates the right and left side of the atrium
interatrial septium
a form of arteriosclerosis characterized by fatty deposits building up within the inner layers of the walls of large arteries
atherosclerosis
what establishes the basic rhythm of the heart
SA node
What side of the heart does pulmonary circulation pump on
right

ven/o
vein
thromb
clot
sphygm/o
pulse
vas/o
vessel

hepat/o
liver
Heart disease as a result of a long-term hypertension
hypertensive heart disease
Relaxation phase of the heartbeat
diastole
Large thick-walled vessels are called
arteries
the nerve that slows down the heart rate
vagus
allow for the exchange of materials between the blood and the tissue fluid surrounding the body cells
capillaries
Condition in which the contractions of the atria become extremely rapid, at the rate of between 250 and 350 beats per minute
atrial flutter
X-ray visualization of the internal anatomy of heart and blood vessels after introducing a radiopaque substance (contrast medium)
angiography
