Q

Other term for Sinoatrial Node

A

pacemaker

26
Q

the first sound as the ventricles contract or the AV valves close

A

Lubb

27
Q

the second sound which is heard when the
semilunar valves close and the ventricles relax.

A

Dupp

28
Q

Average Heart Rate

A

72 beats per minute

29
Q

refers to the volume of blood pumped per minute

A

cardiac output

30
Q

Moves the blood between the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs.

A

Pulmonary Circulation

31
Q

During the process, oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released, after which, the oxygenated blood flows back to the left atrium of the heart

A

Pulmonary Circulation

32
Q

Moves the oxygenated blood and nutrients from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.

A

Systemic Circulation

33
Q

Deoxygenated blood with carbon dioxide and wastes flows back to the right atrium.

A

Systemic Circulation

34
Q

Thick-walled blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the tissues of the body

A

Arteries

35
Q

Small-diameter blood vessels that branch out from the arteries and lead to the capillaries

A

Arterioles

36
Q

Tubes with thin walls that carry deoxygenated blood from tissues to the heart.

A

Veins

37
Q

Very small veins that collect blood from capillaries

A

Venules

38
Q

Fine hair-like blood vessels that connect arterioles and vein

A

Capillaries

39
Q

also called the elbow pit

A

Antecubital fossa

40
Q

the triangular area on the anterior of the elbow, which is a site of major veins.

A

Antecubital fossa

41
Q

first choice for routine venipuncture

A

Antecubital fossa

42
Q

refer to a vein arrangement
that occurs in about 70% of the population.

A

H-shaped antecubital veins

43
Q

the preferred venipuncture
site. It is the easiest to access and least painful for the patient.

A

Median Cubital Vein

44
Q

the second choice for venipuncture.
It is harder to palpate but is usually better when drawing blood from an obese patient.

A

Cephalic vein

45
Q

last choice-vein for venipuncture as it
is not well anchored and punctures on this vein are more painful.

A

Basilic Vein

46
Q

refer to a vein arrangement that occurs in about 70% of the population.

A

H-shaped antecubital veins

47
Q

the intermediate antebrachial veins, which include the median, median cephalic, and median basilic veins.

A

M-shaped

48
Q

the intermediate antebrachial veins, which include the median, median cephalic, and median basilic veins.

A

M-shaped

49
Q

intermediate antebrachial vein; firstchoice vein; safest and less painful

A

Median vein

50
Q

intermediate cephalic vein; second choice for venipuncture; less likely to roll

A

Median cephalic vein

51
Q

intermediate basilic vein; last
choice vein because it is more painful

A

Median basilic vein

52
Q

the fluid part of the blood that is left after clotting because it does not have fibrinogen. This can be separated by centrifugation.

A

Serum

53
Q

refers to the fluid portion that is separated by centrifugation from the red blood cells, white blood. cells, and platelets. It has fibrinogen and could be collected using
an anticoagulant tube. It is also collected in cases where serum could nor be used

A

Plasma

54
Q

gas exchange: oxygen and carbon

A

Red cells

55
Q

Granulocytes

A

neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils

56
Q

Mononuclears

A

Lymphocytes and monocytes

57
Q

Platelets

A

hemostasis

58
Q

the stoppage of bleeding as a response to
an injury whether it be normal vasoconstriction where the vessel walls close temporarily, abnormal obstruction like plaque, or coagulation such as litigation.

A

Hemostasis

59
Q

the vessel walls are constricted after an injury, which results in reduced flow of blood in the site of injury

A

Vaoconstuction

60
Q

the process in which the blood
changes, from a liquid state into a gel that forms the blood dot.

A

Coagulation/Clotting

61
Q

an enzyme that plays an important role in
coagulation

A

Thrombin

62
Q

the process in which the fibrin is dissolved.
It has two main activities:

A

Fibrinolysis
