71
Epicardium
Is the outer most layer. It is a thin, transparent layer that protects the inner heart layers. Blood vessels that nourish the heart itself are nestled within the epicardium
72
Myocardium
Is the middle and thickest layer. It consist of specialized cardiac muscle tissue that stimulates the contractions to pump the blood through the blood vessels. Coronary arteries supply oxygen rich blood to the myocardium to be pumped out to the body.
73
Endocardium
This is the inner most layer of the heart. It is a thin, smooth membrane that lines the four chambers and valves of the heart
74
Mitral or bicuspid
The valve is between the left Atrium and the left ventricle and consist of 2 cusps.
75
Tricuspid
This valve is between the right Artium and the right ventricle consist of three cusps
76
Aortic
This valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta and consist of three cusps
77
Pulmonary
This valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and consist of three cusps
78
Pulmonary circulation
Take the deoxygenated blood into the right side of the heart which pumps it to the lines to pick up oxygen
79
Systemic circulation
Returns the oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart which pumps it to all of the tissues of the body
80
This heart valve consist of two cusps
Mitral
81
These are the two upper chambers of the heart
Atria
82
This circulation pumps blood to all tissues of the body
Systematic
83
The outer most layer of the heart
Epicardium
84
The heart is located in this cavity
Thoracic
85
Arteries
Carry oxygen rich blood away from the heart
86
Arterioles
Branch off from the ends of the arteries and carry blood to the capillaries
87
Capillaries
The smallest internist of the blood vessels and also the most common. Capillaries connect to arterioles on one end and venules on the other. Capillaries carry blood very close to the cells in order to exchange gases, nutrients, and waste products
88
Venules
Small vessels that pick up blood from the capillaries and deposit it into larger veins for transport back to the heart
89
Veins
Carry oxygen depleted blood to the lungs to receive oxygen
90
Aorta
Is the largest artery in the body and carries blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. It runs from the heart through the center of the chest and abdomen
91
Abdominal aorta
Is a segment of the aorta located in the abdominal cavity
92
Carotid aorta
Are two large blood vessels, located one on each side of the neck. They supply the brain and head with blood
93
Superior vena cava
Is the largest thing that brings blood from the head and arms into the heart

Pain or tightness in the chest when fatty play inside the coronary arteries restricts the blood flow to the heart
104
Myocardial infraction (MI)
MI or “heart attack” as damage or death of part of the heart muscle caused by the lack of blood flow through the coronary arteries
105
Hypertension (HTN)
HTN or “high blood pressure” occurs when the force but against artery walls is too high. If left untreated, it can cause organ failure to the heart, brain, kidneys, or eyes
