Heart Anatomy
The chambers of the heart that receive blood from major veins.
What are the atria?
The parts of a normal sinus rhythm.
What are P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves?
A body-wide innate response to any pathogen.
What is a fever?
Why T cells are called T cells.
The definition of shock.
What is the inability of the body to get oxygen to all of its tissues?
The chambers of the heart that pump blood to the body or lungs.
What are the ventricles?
What a heart attack literally is.
What is a Myocardial Infarction (blockage of blood flow to heart muscle)?
The localized response of the I.I.S. to an infection discernible to your patient
What are redness, heat, swelling, and pain?
The types of T cells.
What are helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and memory T cells?
The two types of shock you are most likely to see.
What are cariogenic and septic shock?
The names of the 4 valves of the heart.
What are the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary valve, the mitral (or bicuspid) valve, and the aortic valve?
The part of a sinus rhythm that changes during atrial flutter or fibrillation.
What are P waves?
The type of "Pac Man" cell that is the first to arrive at the site of an infection.
What are neutrophils?
The types of B cells.
What are memory B cells and Plasma B cells?
The stages of sepsis.
What are sepsis (warm sepsis), severe sepsis (warm sepsis), and septic shock (cold sepsis)
The structures of the heart that electricity flows through in the order that the electricity flows through them.
What are the SA node, the AV node, the Bundle of His, the Right and Left Bundle Branches, and the Purkinje fibers?
The part of a sinus rhythm wave that changes during ventricular tachycardia, flutter, and fibrillation.
What is a QRS complex?
The cell most responsible for allergic reactions.
What are mast cells?
The immune system protein that is specific to each pathogen, but falls into 5 categories.
What are antibodies?
The pinprick red and purple bruising caused by the breaking down of blood vessels.
What are petechiae and purpura?
The coronary artery known as "The Widowmaker"
What is the left anterior descending coronary artery?
The definition of a heart block.
What is a delay or complete disruption of the electrical activity of the heart?
The type of chemical released by immune system cells that causes swelling.
What are cytokines?
The reasons vaccines work.
What are immune memory and secondary immune exposure?
The reasons septic shock leads to unsustainably low BP.
What are systemic inflammation, edema, and bacterial attack?
