If the pericardium becomes inflamed, a condition called ________________ results.
pericarditis
Movement of the blood from the left ventricle through the body
Systemic circulation
______________ is a specialized fluid formed in the tissue spaces that will be transported by way of specialized vessels to eventually reenter the circulatory system.
Lymph
Palatine, pharyngeal, and lingual are examples
tonsils
The cardiac muscle is referred to as the ____________.
myocardium
______________ ______________ _____________
is cardiac damage resulting from a delayed inflammatory response to a streptococcal infection that occurs most often in children.
Rheumatic heart disease
The structure used to bypass the liver in fetal circulation is the:
Ductus Venosum
Blood plasma that has filtered out of the capillaries into microscopic spaces between cells is called _________________ _____________.
interstitial fluid
Destroys worn out blood cells
spleen
The outer layer of the pericardium is called _____________ _______________.
parietal pericardium
Atypical heart sound often caused by disorders of the valves
heart murmur
The fetal umbilical cord has _________ vein(s) and ______ artery(ies)
one larger vein
two small arteries
Tiny blind-ended tubes distributed in tissue spaces are called ____________________ ______________.
lymphatic capillaries
Located in the mediastinum
thymus gland
Name the valve between the Right atrium and Right ventricle
Tricuspid Valve--A-V
High blood pressure
Hypertension
In fetal circulation, the ___________ _____________
shunts blood from the right atrium directly into the left atrium.
Foramen Ovale
Lymph eventually empties into two terminal vessels called the __________ ____________ __________ and the ____________ ___________.
right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct
Humoral immunity
Antibody mediated immunity
What structures in the myocardial muscle cells enable rhythmic conduction in the heart?
Intercalated discs
Hardening of the arteries
Atherosclerosis
Also in fetal circulation, _____________ ___________ connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta.
Ductus Arteriosus
The thoracic duct has an enlarged pouch-like structure called the ________________ ________________.
cisterna chyli
Innate immunity
Phagocytes
Failure of the right side of the heart due to blockage of pulmonary blood flow is called:
Cor Pulmonale
Blood clot formed in the vessel is ______________.
Traveling blood clot is a(n) _____________.
thrombus
embolus
Explain how stroke volume SV and heart rate HR affect cardiac output CO
stronger the contraction, the more blood pumped into the aorta; weaker the contraction, less blood is pumped
HR affects BP; faster the HR, the more blood enters the aorta and arterial blood volume and BP increase. What will happen to SV if HR goes to 200 bts/min?
An atypical condition in which tissues exhibit edema because of the accumulation of lymph is __________
lymphedema
Specific (Adaptive) immunity
memory
