Blood vessels
100

This carries blood from the lungs back to the Left Atrium

Pulmonary veins

100

A type of temporary chest pain, pressure or discomfort.

Angina

100

Microscopic vessels between arterioles and venules that is involved in gas exchange.


Capillaries

100

Condition where blood vessels inadequately fill and cannot circulate blood normally

Circulatory shock

100

Are larger with less rigid walls and collapse when not filled with blood

Veins

200

What type of pressure represents the relaxation of the heart?

Diastole

200

A ballooning of a blood vessel that can be found in the abdominal artery or arteries leading to the brain.

Aneurysm

200

These arteries supply blood to the heart muscle

Coronary arteries

200

Low BP of systolic pressure < 90 mm Hg or diastolic < 60 mm Hg

Hypotension

200

Smallest major class arteries; control amount of blood delivered to each organ; connected to capillaries by metarterioles

Arterioles

300

What's the natural pacemaker of the heart?

Sinoatrial (SA) node

300

What is it called when a heart rate is above the normal range?

Tachycardia

300

Which layer protects and lubricates the heart?

Pericardium

300

Chronically elevated BP of systolic pressure ≥ 130 mm Hg or diastolic ≥ 80 mm Hg

Hypertension

300

Distensions of leg veins due to pooling of blood and veins stretch weakening their walls and pulling valve cusps apart

Varicose veins

400

Procedure that records the electrical activities in the heart

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

400

What is the medical term for a heart attack?

Myocardial infarction

400

Most common capillaries; endothelium forms continuous tube with tight junctions

Continuous capillaries

400

The blockage of the coronary arteries by plaque is known as?

Atherosclerosis

400

What is the largest Artery in the body?

Aorta

500

Trace the pathway of the ICS 

SA node -> AV node -> AV bundle -> bundle branches -> subendocardial conducting system

500

When you insert a laser/balloon to clear away a blockage in a Coronary Artery

Angioplasty

500

Name the 2 categories of valves and each of the 4 individual valves

tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, aortic. Semilunar and atrioventricular

500

Shock that results from large-scale blood or fluid loss

Hypovolemic

500

Found in organs with rapid absorption or filtration and has filtration pores.

Fenestrated capillaries
