100
This category of high pressure vessels carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
What are arteries?
100
These are the four compartments of the heart.
What is the right atrium, the left atrium, the right ventricle, the left ventricle?
100

The Brachiocephalic, carotid, and left subclavian are all examples of this

Arteries

100

High blood pressure

What is Hypertension

100

Blood type of an individual with both A and B antibodies

 What is blood type O?

200
These arteries supply oxygen to the heart muscle.
What is the coronary artery?
200
This is the first compartment of the heart that receives venous blood from the body
What is the right atrium?
200
This carries deoxygenated blood from the head, neck and upper extremities into the right atrium.
What is the superior vena cava?
200

Death of muscles cells cause by a lack of oxygen to the heart

What is a myocardial infarction

200

Hardening of the walls of blood vessels

What is Atherosclerosis?

300
This is where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide in the circulation.
What is a capillary?
300
This is a valve that connects the right atrium to the right ventricle.
What is the tricuspid valve?
300
These are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What are the pulmonary veins?
300

Cancer of the white blood cells

What is Leukemia?

300

A blood vessel bursting

What is an Aneurysm?

400
This vessel has a diameter larger than a capillary but smaller than an artery.
What is an arteriole?
400

This is the valve that connect the left atrium from the left ventricle.

What is the bicuspid or mitral valve?

400
These are the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
What is the pulmonary arteries?
400

Having too few healthy red blood cells. This can be caused by a nutrient deficiency, genetic factor, or prolonged internal bleeding.

What is Anemia?

400
Contraction of this compartment of the heart is responsible for the systolic measure of blood pressure.
What is the left ventricle?
500
This is the pacemaker of the heart.
What is the SA node?
500

The chamber of the heart blood flow through before the pulmonary artery

What is the right ventricle?

500
This vessel contains a high amount of elastic tissue to support high pressure blood flow that it has to sustain.
What is the aorta?
500

A thrombus becoming dislodged and eventually blocking a blood vessel

What is an Embolism
500
This is the phase of relaxation of the heart.
What is the diastole?
