200
This sends an electrical impulse to the ventricles.
What is the AV (atrioventricular) node?
- Located at the lower back section of the interatrial septum
200
This valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle.
What is the mitral valve?
- Mitral = shaped like a bishop’s hat
- Also known as the bicuspid valve
- Bicuspid = having two cusps
200
These pump oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
What are the pulmonary veins?
200
These are the smallest elements within the blood.
What are thrombocytes (platelets)?
200
These return blood lacking oxygen to the heart.
What are veins?
400
DAILY DOUBLE
This layer of the heart in the ventricles contains the Purkinje fibers.
What is the endocardium?
400
This valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. (Full name)
What is the pulmonary semilunar valve?
- Pulmonary = pertaining to the lungs
- Semilunar = half-moon
400
These receive deoxygenated blood from the pulmonary arteries.
What are the lungs?
400
These help protect and defend the body from foreign invaders.
What are leukocytes (white blood cells)?
- Neutrophils = surround and swallow pathogens
- Basophils = cause the symptoms of allergies
- Eosinophils = destroy parasitic organisms
- Lymphocytes = identify foreign substances and produce antibodies that target them
- Monocytes = surround and swallow pathogens
400
These carry blood away from the heart.
What are arteries?
600
This initially coordinates heart contractions in the heart.
What is the SA (sinoatrial) node?
600
This valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta. (Full name)
What is the aortic semilunar valve?
- Semilunar = half-moon
600
These pump oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle and carries it to the lungs.
What are the pulmonary arteries?
600
DAILY DOUBLE
This is one of the two new rare blood types discovered in 2012.
What is Langereis or Junior?
- Very uncommon blood type that can have major transfusion complications in certain ethnicities such as the Japanese
- Most people are LAN- or JR-positive
- Identified by proteins and have anticancer drug resistance qualities
600
This begins from the left ventricle and forms the main trunk of the arterial system?
What is the aorta?
- Largest blood vessel of the body.
800
The average pulse range in adults.
What are 60-100 beats per minute?
800
The number of valves located in the heart.
What are four?
800
This type of circulation consists of the movement of blood between the heart and lungs only.
What is pulmonary circulation?
800
These are produced in the red bone marrow and transport oxygen to tissues.
What are erythrocytes (red blood cells)?
800
This is the measurement for the force of blood against the walls of the arteries.
What is blood pressure?
- Systolic pressure = occurs when the ventricles contract
- Diastolic pressure = occurs when the ventricles relax
- Average Range: Systolic/Diastolic = 120/80
1000
This is the amount of power for one heartbeat.
What is about one watt?
1000
This valve is responsible for the opening between the right atrium and ventricle.
What is the tricuspid valve?
- Tricuspid = having three cusps
1000
This type of circulation consists of the movement of blood between the heart and all parts of the body except the lungs.
What is systemic circulation?
1000
These 3 gases are normally dissolved in the liquid portion of blood.
What are oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen?
1000
These are the largest veins in the body.
What is the venae cavae?
- Return blood to the heart
- Superior vena cava = responsible for transporting blood from the upper part of the body
- Inferior vena cava = responsible for transporting blood from the lower portion of the body
