You Are 'Vein.'
The largest vein in the body that carries blood from upper body tissues back to the heart.
What is the superior vena cava?
This occurs when a portion of the heart muscle dies due to a blockage in the coronary circulation leading to lack of oxygen
What is a heart attack?
This valve prevents the back flow of blood from the pulmonary arteries into the right ventricle.
What is the pulmonary semilunar valve?
What is the sinoatrial node?
Universal blood donor
What are type O+?
Tiny blood vessels that connect Arteries and Veins
What are Capillaries?
This chamber of the heart receives oxygenated blood from both lungs via pulmonary veins.
What is the Left Atrium?
This valve prevents the back flow of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium.
What is the tricuspid valve?
The gatekeeper, controlling the transmission of electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles
What is the AV node/atrioventricular node?
Universal blood receiver
What is Type AB+?
The largest artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to all tissues in the body
What is the aorta?
This chamber of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs to exchange CO2 for O2 via pulmonary arteries.
What is the right ventricle?
What is the bicuspid valve?
This fiber bundle receives the electrical signal from the AV node and runs down the length of the interventricular septum (wall)
What is Bundle of His?
The condition happens when mom with Rh- has a baby with Rh+ antigen.
What is Hemolytic Disease in Newborn?
These arteries supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients
What are coronary arteries?
This chamber of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the tissues via the superior and inferior vena cava.
What is the Right Atrium?
This valve prevents the back flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle.
What is aortic semilunar valve?
These fibers extend from the bundle of His and rapidly transmit electrical impulses throughout the ventricles.
What are Purkinje fibers?
Blood type recessive gene
The process that tissues exchange carbon dioxide and waste for oxygen and nutrients in the blood in the capillaries based on concentration gradients
What is diffusion?
The wall of tissues that separated the right and left ventricles.
What is the interventricular septum?
Ventricles contraction phase of the cardiac cycle
What is systole?
Blood antigen recessive gene
What is Rh-?
