100
This vessel contains a high amount of elastic tissue to support high pressure blood flow that it has to sustain.
What is the aorta?
100
These are the four compartments of the heart.
What is the right atrium, the left atrium, the right ventricle, the left ventricle?
100
This category of high pressure vessels carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
What are arteries?
100
This is the units in which we measure blood pressure.
What is mmHg?
100
This a condition where your heart stops contracting.
What is a heart attack?
200

These arteries supply oxygen to the heart muscle.

What are the coronary arteries?

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
These are responsible for both ventricles contracting at the same time.
What are the purkinje fibers?
200
These are the three signs of a stroke.
What is (1) face looks uneven on one side, (2) speech is abnormal, and (3) one arm is droopy?
300
This is where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide in the circulation.
What is a capillary?
300
This is the pacemaker of the heart.
What is the SA node?
300
These are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What are the pulmonary veins?
300
This receives the electrical stimulus immediately after the SA node.
What is the AV node?
300
The approximate lifespan of a RBC

What is 120 days?

400

These veins returns blood to the right atrium

What are the inferior and superior vena cava?

400
This is a valve that connects the right atrium to the right ventricle.
What is the tricuspid valve?
400
These are the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
What is the pulmonary arteries?
400
Contraction of this compartment of the heart is responsible for the systolic measure of blood pressure.
What is the left ventricle?
400
These are the three ways that blood enters the right atrium of the heart
What is the superior vena cava, the inferior vena cava and the coronary sinus?
500
This vessel has a diameter larger than a capillary but smaller than an artery.
What is an arteriole?
500
This is the valve that connect the left atrium from the left ventricle.
What is the mitral valve?
500

This carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the right atrium.

What is the coronary sinus?

500
This is the phase of relaxation of the heart.
What is the diastole?
500
This is the way in which blood flows through the four compartments of the heart.
What is the right atrium to the right ventricle to the lungs to the left atrium to the left ventricle?
600

These vessels return blood to the left atrium

What are the pulmonary veins

600

This adaptation of the fetal circulatory system allows the mothers oxygenated blood to move straight from the right atrium to the left atrium.

What is the foramen ovale (oval opening)?

600

This vessel allows blood to pass directly from the pulmonary artery to the aorta in the fetal circulatory system?

What is the ductus arteriosus (arterial duct)

600
The phase of the contraction of the heart.

What is systole?

600

This blood component has a large role in blood clot formation?

What are platelets (thrombocytes)
