The main artery carrying oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body.
What is the aorta?
Supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle itself.
What are coronary arteries?
Number of stages of wound healing.
What is four stages of wound healing?
This function covers body surfaces, lines cavities and organs, and forms glands.
What is epithelial tissue function?
The study of bones?
What is osteology?
The outermost layer of the heart wall, also known as the visceral layer of the pericardium.
What is the epicardium?
Bifurcates into the right subclavian artery and right common carotid artery.
What are brachiocephalic arteries?
Characterized by redness, heat, swelling, and pain. White blood cells, especially neutrophils and macrophages, migrate to the wound to remove debris and pathogens.
What is inflammation?
This tissue is cells are scattered within an extracellular matrix that includes fibers (collagen, elastin) and ground substance.
What is connective tissue?
The study of cells.
What is cytology?
Regulates blood floe between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
What is the tricuspid valve?
A superficial vein of the leg.
What is the great saphenous vein?
Involves the formation of new tissue. Fibroblasts produce collagen, and new blood vessels form (angiogenesis). Granulation tissue fills the wound, and epithelial cells migrate across the wound surface.
What is proliferation?
Skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle are types of which tissue.
What is muscle tissue?
The study of skin.
What is dermatology?
Muscles located in the ventricles of the heart that anchor the chordae tendineae and prevent inversion or prolapse of the valves during centricular contraction.
What are the papillary muscles?
Brachiocephalic artery, left subclavian artery, and left common carotid artery.
What are the branches of the aortic arch?
Immediately after an injury, blood vessels constrict and clotting begins to stop the bleeding. Platelets adhere to the injury site, forming a temporary seal.
What is homeostasis?
This tissue function transmits electrical impulses and processes information.
What is nervous tissue?
The study of tissues.
What is histology?
The middle, muscular layer of the heart wall responsible for contraction.
What is the myocardium?
Return deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium. Note: The superior vena cava does not drain blood from the abdomen and lower extremities.
What is the superior and inferior vena cava?
The final phase where collagen is remodeled, and the wound fully closes. Scar tissue forms and strengthens over time, restoring skin integrity.
What is maturation?
Simple epithelium and stratified epithelium are types of this tissue.
What is epithelial tissue?
The study of the heart and its functions.
What is cardiology?
