Pump up the Jam
The names for the maximum and minimum pressures reached during ventricular contraction and relaxation. Example: 120/80. MUST SAY BOTH.
What are Systole or Systolic (maximum) and Diastole or Diastolic (minimum)?
This is the recording of electrical changes occurring in the muscle of the heart during the cardiac cycle.
What is an Electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG)?
This heart has this many chambers for pumping blood.
What is four (4)?
This valve is between the right atrium and ventricle.
What is the Tricuspid Valve?
This is the process of making new blood vessels.
What is Angiogenesis?
The ventricle on this side of the heart is thicker, as it has to pump blood further than the ventricle on the other side.
What is the Left Side Ventricle?
The nickname of this structure is the "pacemaker" of the heart.
What is the SA (Sinoatrial) Node?
These are the upper and lower chambers of the heart. MUST SAY BOTH.
What are Atria (upper) and Ventricles (lower)?
These are the two different names for the valve on the left side of the heart, between the atrium and ventricle. MUST SAY BOTH.
What are the Bicuspid and Mitral Valve?
These are the five types of blood vessels. Named largely for their size and orientation to the heart. MUST SAY ALL FIVE.
What are: 1. Arteries, 2. Arterioles, 3. Capillaries, 4. Venules, 5.Veins?
These are the two "loops" that blood flows through. One goes through the lungs, and the other goes to the body. MUST SAY BOTH.
What are the Pulmonary Circuit and Systemic Circuit?
The names for abnormally faster and slower heart rates, also known as arrhythmias. MUST SAY BOTH.
What are Tachycardia (faster) and Bradycardia (slower)?
This chamber pumps blood to the lungs.
What is the Right Ventricle?
Starting from the Right atrium, blood would flow through these four valves (in order) before going to the rest of the body. MUST SAY FOUR & IN ORDER.
What are 1.Tricuspid, 2. Pulmonary/Semilunar, 3. Bicuspid/Mitral, 4. Aortic/Semilunar valves.
A condition caused by a buildup of cholesterol or plaque on the inside of the vessels.
What is Atherosclerosis?
What are Chordae Tendineae?
This neurotransmitter helps to decrease the heart rate, while this hormone increases the heart rate. MUST SAY BOTH.
What are Acetylcholine (decreases) and Adrenaline (increases)
Deoxygenated blood returns to the right atrium from these two veins. MUST SAY BOTH.
What are the Inferior and Superior Vana Cava?
DAILY DOUBLE: DOUBLE POINTS
The "Lub-Dup" sound is caused by the closing of these two valves. MUST SAY BOTH.
What are the Atrioventricular (tri and bicuspids) "Lub"; and the Semilunar (aortic and pulmonary) "Dup".
These are the three types of capillaries; differing in their permeability.
What are Continuous, Fenestrated, and Sinusoidal Capillaries?
These are specialized, interlocking points between cardiac muscle cells that help to spread action potential through the heart muscle cells.
What are Intercalated Discs?
During an ECG/EKG, this action is hidden by the much larger contraction of the ventricles.
What is Atrial Repolarization or the refilling of the atria?
These are the first two branches of the aorta, supplying blood to the chambers and tissues of hhe heart itself.
What are the Left and Right Coronary Arteries or Coronary Arteries?
These are the names of the only two valves found in any arteries of the body.
What are the Aortic and Pulmonary Semilunar Valves?
These are the two pressures created at the arteriolar and venular ends of capillaries. MUST SAY BOTH.
What are Hydrostatic (arteriolar end) and Osmotic (venular end)?
