"Receiving room"
What is atrium?
200
Responsible for the 'lubb-dubb' sounds of your heart beat, these valves separate the atria/ventricles and the ventricles/primary arteries, respectively.
What are the AV valves (tricuspid/bicuspid) and semi-lunar valves?
200
The Lungs
What is the Pulmonary Pathway
200
Blushing
What is vasodilation of the facial capillaries
200
These carry interstitial fluid (and waste) back to the cardiovascular system.
What are lymphatic vessels?
200
"slow heart rate" - a form of "out of sync rhythm"
What is bradycardia, a form of arrhythmia?
300
The reason your heart appears to sit slightly "offset" in your chest cavity
What is the left ventricle?
300
The last heart stop before the blood goes to get "refueled" in the lungs
What is the right ventricle

A brain injury affecting the hypothalamus
What is the loss of temperature regulation, both hot and cold?

This vessel has the thickest wall, and like all vessels like it, contains these 3 layers.
What is the aorta; smooth inner lining, middle elastic and muscle layer, and tough outer layer?

From the Greek words meaning "pulse pressure measure"
What is sphygmomanometer?

In an ECG, the P wave represents the atrial contraction. The S and T waves represent these.
What is the LV contraction and the RV/LV relaxation?
400
The Heart
What is the Coronary Pathway
400
Failure of the SA node
What is loss of or abnormal atrial/ventricular contractions?
400
The presence of valves in both of these vessels ensure a one way movement.
What are veins and lymphatic vessels
400
"Crown" and "to float". Pathways.
What is coronary and pulmonary?
500
Branching off the Bundle of His, this web like fibre provides electrical pulses to the surface of the ventricles, causing contraction.
What are the Perkinje Fibres?
500
The complete itinerary of travel of blood in the big toe and back, in order starting and finishing with the capillary bed.
HINT: Looking for a dozen steps.
What is capillary bed -> venules -> veins -> inferior vena cava ->right atrium -> right ventricle -> pulmonary artery -> lungs -> pulmonary vein -> left atrium -> left ventricle -> aorta -> arteries -> arterioles -> capillary bed

Myocardial infarction
What is the death of heart tissue?
--> heart attack

Capillaries are only 1 cell wide and 1 cell thick, yet if these structures were all open, you would need 400% more blood to fill what follows.
