system consist of the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system
circulatory system

lymphatic system

arteries
arterioles
the arterioles branch even more to become tiny vessels with one-cell-thick walls called ____
capillaries
blood leaving the capillaries returns to the heart through the ____, which flow into the ___

venae cavae
is a muscular cone-shaped organ,a bout the size of a clenched fist
heart
valve on the right side
tricuspid
valve on the left side
bicuspid or mitral
refers to the small flaps that make up the atrioventricular valves

pericardium
forms the lining inside the heart
endocardium
heart muscle itself
myocardium
means encircling, in the manner of a crown, and refers to the way in which coronary arteries encircle the heart in a crownlike fashion
coronary
general diagnostic term that designates primary disease of the heart muscle itself.
cardiomyopathy
inflammation of the heart muscle
myocarditis
is often caused by infective microorganisms that invade the endocardium and the heart valves are frequently affected.
endocarditis
inflammation of pericardium
pericarditis
often performed when blockage of coronary arteries is suspected
electrocardiogram
the electrical current of the heart muscle
electrocardiography
generally associated with the use of ultrasonography in diagnosing heart disease
echocardiography
is a record of the heart obtained by directing ultrasonic waves through the chest wall
echocardiogram
passage of long, flexible tube into the heart chambers through vein in an arm or leg or the neck.
cardiac catheterization
instrument used in cardiac or heart
catheter
severe chest pain and constriction about the heart by an insufficient supply of blood to the heart itself.
angina pectoris
irregularity or loss of rhythm of the heartbeat
arrythmia
enlarged size of heary
cardiomegaly
condition characterized by weakness, breathlessness and edema in lower portions of the body.
congestive heart failure CHF
abnormal condition that effects the heart’s arteries and produces various pathologic effects, especially the reduced flow of blood to the myocardium.
coronary artery disease CAD
severe cardiac arrhythmia in w/c contractions are too rapid and uncoordinated for effective blood circulation
fibrillation
and electronic apparatus that delivers a shock to the heart, often through the placement of electrodes on the chest
defibrillator
excessive lipids (fats) in the blood.
hyperlipidemia
elevated blood pressure above the normal values of 120/80 mm Hm in an adult over 18 years of age.
hypertension
low blood pressure
hypotension
necrosis of a localized area of tissue caused by lack of blood supply to that area.
infarction
death of an area of the heart muscle that occurs as a result oxygen deprivation.
myocardial infarction
deficiency of blood supply to the myocardium.
myocardial ischemia
an increase in the diameter of blood vessel
vasolidation
has the opposite meaning of vasolidation
vasoconstriction
are tumors consisting principally of blood vessels.
angiomas
record produce for arteriography
aortogram
radiography of aorta
aortagraphy
is a radiography of arteries after injection of radiopaque material into the bloodstream.
arteriography
image produced in arterography
arteriogram
ballooning out of the wall of a vessel, usually an artery caused by a congenital defect or weakness of the wall of the vessel.
aneurysm
method used to divert blood away from the heart and lungs temporarily when surgery of the heart and major vessels is performed
cardiopulmonary bypass
means pertaining to the heart and lungs
cardiopulmonary
is recommended as an emergency first-aid procedure to reestablish heart and lung action if breathing or heart action has stopped.
cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR
prescribed in the treatment and prevention of variety of thromboembolic disorders
heparin
used and act to reduce the blood volume through greater excretion of water by the kidneys
diuretics
surgical repair of blood vessels that have become damaged by disease or injury
angioplasty
fluid transported by the lymphatic vessels
lymph
commonly called adenoids
pharyngeal
general term for cancer that originates in the lymphatic system
lymphoma
accumulation of lymph in tissue and the resultant swelling are called
lymphedema
ruptured spleen often requires
splenectomy
excision of tonsils
tonsilectomy
