Heart
Normal systolic pressure.
What is 120 or below?
Pulse
What is the heartbeat that can be felt (palpated), on surface arteries as the artery walls expand?
Normal diastolic pressure.
What is 80 or below?
Normal adult pulse range.
What is 60-100 beats per minute?
Flow of blood through the body.
What is from the body to the heart via veins → Right atrium → Right ventricle → Pulmonary artery → Lungs (oxygen exchange) → Pulmonary veins → Left atrium → Left ventricle → Aorta → Body?
Prehypertension to hypertension crisis for systolic.
What is above 120 to 180+?
Sinoatrial (SA) Node.
What is acts as the natural pacemaker, initiating electrical impulses to stimulate the heart to contract?
Two circulatory pathways.
What is pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation?
Names of the 4 chambers of the heart?
What is right atrium, right ventricles, left atrium, left ventricles?
Describe the structure and function of arteries.
What is arteries have thick walls to withstand high pressure as they carry oxygenated blood away from the heart?
Prehypertension to hypertension crisis for diastolic.
What is above 80 to 100+?
Where pulse is typically assessed.
What is the radial artery near the wrist?
Pulmonary Circulation.
What is blood flows from the heart to the lungs and back, where it is oxygenated?
The role of the heart valves?
What is to prevent the backflow of blood and ensure it flows in one direction.
Role of capillaries in the cardiovascular system.
What is capillaries are where nutrient and gas exchange occurs between blood and tissues?
Blood pressure.
What is the measurement of the force of the blood against the arterial walls as it circulates through the body?
The right side of the heart versus the left side.
What is the right side goes off of the pulmonary circulation and the left side goes off of the systemic circulation?
Systemic Circulation.
What is oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body?
