study for q1 retake Flashcards
carry blood away from the heart
artery
carries blood from capillaries toward the heart
vein
thin-walled vessel of the body
capillary
the arteries that supply blood to the heart
coronary arteries
supplies blood to the left side of the heart muscle
left coronary artery
branches off the left coronary artery and supplies blood to the front of the left side of the heart
left anterior descending artery
branches off the left coronary artery and surrounds the heart muscle. this artery supplies blood to the outer side and back of the heart
circumflex artery
supplies blood to the right ventricle, right atrium, and sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes, which regulate heart rhythm.
right coronary artery
order the movement of blood flow starting with deoxygenated blood coming from the upper/lower body
- superior/inferior vena cava
- right atrium
- tricuspid valve
- right ventricle
- pulmonary valve
- pulmonary arteries
- lungs
- pulmonary veins
- left atrium
- mitrial valve
- left ventricle
- aortic valve
- aorta
what is this?

blood pressure is a measure of how fast the molecules in blood are hitting the walls of the ________. It ________with increased blood volume & with increased heart rate. it is an important indicator of _________ health and should be under _________ at rest.
arteries, increases, cardiac, 120/80 bpm
three layers of the heart
epicardium, endocardium, myocardium
Extend and branch through tissues to form a bed
capillaries
Carry deoxygenated blood TOWARD the heart
veins
Contains valves ensuring blood flows in only one direction.
veins
Connect arteries to veins
capillaries
Thin walls
veins
Carry oxygenated blood AWAY from the heart
arteries
Transparent walls
capillaries
Allows for diffusion of substances between blood and cells
capillaries
Thick walls to be able to expand to withstand blood pressure
arteries
Veins have a thicker layer of smooth muscle around them compared to arteries.
