This is referred to as the pacemaker of the heart.

What is the SA node?

200

Artery that is the largest and connects to the left ventricle.

What is Aorta?

300

The structure of the heart that pumps blood out to the rest of the body.

What is left ventricle?

400

This is where the blood enters the heart.

What is the superior vena cava

500

This is the other name for the bicuspid valve.

What is the Mitral valve?

Terminology

100

The root word for heart is called this

What is cardi/o

200

This is a structure that prevents blood from flowing backwards in the heart

What is a valve

300

This term refers to an abnormally slow heartbeat

What is bradycardia

400

Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are known as these

What are veins

500

This term refers to an abnormally fast heartbeat

What is tachycardia

ECG

100

The letters ECG stand for this

What is electrocardiogram 

200

Any movement away from the baseline in the tracing, either up or down, is known as this

What is deflection

300

A period of time between two points or events

What is an interval

400

This is a deflection from the baseline. ie P, Q, R, S, and T

What is a wave

500

These are the three states in which cardiac cells go through in order to produce a heartbeat

What is polarization, depolarization, and repolarization

Heart Arrhythmia's

100

This is an abnormality in the timing or pattern of the heartbeat.

What is an arrythmia

200

This is a life-threatening condition where the heart's lower chambers quiver instead of pumping blood

What is ventricular fibrillation

300

This disorder is where the upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat irregularly and rapidly

What is Atrial Fibrillation

400

These are extra heartbeats that originate in the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart) before the next regular heartbeat

What are proventricular contractions (PVC'S) 

500

This lethal arrythmia is also called "flatline"

What is asystole

What is epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium

300

Pulmonary veins carry ______ blood while pulmonary arteries carry _____ blood

What is oxygenated and deoxygenated

400

Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to the body are known as these

What are arteries

500

This is specialized muscle fibers that carries electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles of the heart

What is the Bundle of His
