Blood Comp
The three types of cells that blood is made of
What are erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes (or platelets)?
The part of the heart that brings blood to the right atrium
What is the Inferior or Superior Vena Cava?
The wave of an EKG that represents the atria contracting
What is the p wave?
The abnormal cardiac rhythm that is when the heart is simply beating too slow
What is Sinus Bradycardia?
The name of the blood pressure value that measures when the heart is resting
What is diastolic pressure or diastole?
What is plasma?
The part of the heart that blood passes through to get to the right ventricle
What is the tricuspid valve?
The wave on an EKG that represents the heart resting and repolarizing after beating
What is the T wave?
The abnormal cardiac rhythm that is when cardiac muscle cells are lacking oxygen and the ventricles quiver - little uniformity in EKG reading
What is Ventricular Fibrillation?
The name of the blood pressure value that measures when the heart is contracting
What is systolic pressure or systole?
The process that creates red blood cells
Hemopoiesis or Hematopoiesis
The part of the heart that the blood passes through to get the the pulmonary arteries
What is the pulmonary valve?
The wave of an EKG that represents the right ventricle contracting
What is the S wave?
The abnormal cardiac rhythm that is when the ventricles contract too soon
What is Premature Ventricular Contraction?
What is 90-120/60-80?
The three plasma proteins
What are albumins, globulins, and fibrinogens?
The part of the heart that brings blood to the lungs
The wave of an EKG that represents the left ventricle contracting
What is the R wave?
The abnormal cardiac rhythm that is when the atrias are quivering uncontrollably instead of pumping & contracting
What is Atrial Fibrillation?
What are vasa vasorums?
The five types of leukocytes (bonus tickets for each type you're able to describe the function for as well)
Lymphocytes - Produce antibodies
Monocytes - Become macrophages
Basophils - Help with inflammation
Eosinophils - Attack parasites
Neutrophils - Active phagocytes
The part of the heart that brings blood to the rest of the body
The wave of an EKG that represents the electrical signal moving down through the Bundle of His into the left and right bundle brances
What is the Q wave
The abnormal heart rhythm that is when the heart is simply beating too quickly
What is Sinus Tachycardia?
The three layers of tissue that make up veins and arteries (listed for most superficial to most deep)
What is the tunica externa, tunica media, and tunica intima?
