Cardiovascular Anatomy
This part of the heart points toward the left hip
Apex
This is another name for the mitral valve
Bicuspid valve
The first sound of the heart (the lub) is associated with
the closing of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves
What device is used to measure blood pressure
sphygmomanometer
Blood clot in the vessels of the brain (be specific)
ischemic stroke
These are the three blood vessels that branch directly off of the aortic arch
Bracheiocephalic artery
Left common Corotid artery
Left Subclavian artery
What is the function of the AV valves
prevent black flow into the atria when ventricles contract
which measure of blood pressure is the measure of of pressure in the arteries during ventricular contraction
Systolic Pressure
A rapid heart rate over 100 PBM
tachycardia
build up of plaque in blood vessel walls
atherosclerosis
What is the mediastinum
the middle cavity of the throax where the heart is located
the_____ anchor the atrioventricular valves tot eh walls of the ventricles
chordae tendiae
What role does osmotic pressure play in capillaries.
It draws fluids back into the blood vessels
refers to the blood pressure in the arteries during ventricular relaxation
diastolic
medical name for a heart attack
myocardial infarction
Give the path of blood flow during systemic circulation
arteries, arterioles, capillary beds, venules, veins
valves are found in these types of blood vessels to prevent backflow
veins
The QRS complex on an EKG represents what
the depolarization of the ventricles
Oxygenated blood returns form the lungs to the heart via these vessels
Pulmonary Veins
ruptured blood vessel in the brain (be specific)
hemmorhagic stroke
Of all the blood vessels which has the largest lumen?
Veins
or
Specifically Vena Cava (Not necessary for points)
Which valve is passed through first in the pathway of blood through the heart?
Tricuspid valve
This is the correct path an impulse takes in the intrinsic conduction system of the heart.
SA node, AV node, AV bundle (bundle of HIS), right and left bundle branches, Purkinje Fibers
The EKG wave that represents depolarization of the atria
P wave
also called hypertension; risk factors include smoking obesity, and lack of exercise
high blood pressure
