These are the four chambers of the heart.
What are: the right and left atria, and the right and left ventricles.
100
This is a measure of the number of times the heart beats in a minute.
What is heart rate?
100
High amounts of this lipoprotein increase your risk of heart disease.
What is LDL?
100
This is a sudden loss of consciousness, sensation and voluntary motion caused by a blood clot in the brain.
What is a stroke?
100
This determines how the DNA fragments separate during gel electrophoresis.
What is the length (or size) of the DNA fragment?
200
These vessels carry blood toward the heart, while these carry blood away from the heart.
What are veins and arteries?
200
This is a measure of the electrical activity in the heart.
What is electrocardiogram (EKG)?
200
A diet that helps keep blood cholesterol levels in check includes these.
What are vegetables, lean meats, and fruits?
200
This is the term for a procedure using dye and x-rays to provide an image of the heart’s blood vessels.
What is an angiogram?
200
This property of DNA causes it to migrate to the opposite pole of the electrophoresis chamber.
What is the negative charge of the phosphate groups?
300
This chamber has the thickest walls.
What is the left ventricle?
300
This is a measure of the push of blood on the artery walls when the heart is relaxed.
What is diastolic pressure?
300
Cholesterol belongs to this group of macro-molecules.
What is a lipid?

What are arteries, except for the pulmonary arteries.
400
This type of blood vessel is the location of oxygen/CO2 exchange?
What is a capillary?
400
The p wave in an EKG represents this.
What is the depolarization of the atria?
400
HDL acts on cholesterol molecules by doing this with them.
What is returning cholesterol to the liver for excretion?
400
This is a procedure that uses a tiny balloon to open a blood vessel, and this is often inserted to keep the vessel open.
What are: angioplasty and a stent?

500
Blood passes through the four valves of the heart in this order.
What is: tricuspid, pulmonary, bicuspid (mitral), and aortic?
500
In terms of both flow and pressure, narrowing of the arteries will cause this.
What is decreased flow and increased pressure?
500
This is considered an acceptable level for HDL in your blood.
What is >60 mg/dL?
500
This is the sensation of chest pain, pressure, or squeezing, often due to not enough blood flow to the heart; and this is a procedure often used to treat it when arterial occlusion is greater than 50%.
