This carries blood from the lungs back to the Left Atrium
Pulmonary veins
A type of temporary chest pain, pressure or discomfort.
Angina
Microscopic vessels between arterioles and venules that is involved in gas exchange.
Capillaries
Condition where blood vessels inadequately fill and cannot circulate blood normally
Circulatory shock
Are larger with less rigid walls and collapse when not filled with blood
Veins
What type of pressure represents the relaxation of the heart?
Diastole
A ballooning of a blood vessel that can be found in the abdominal artery or arteries leading to the brain.
Aneurysm
These arteries supply blood to the heart muscle
Coronary arteries
Low BP of systolic pressure < 90 mm Hg or diastolic < 60 mm Hg
Hypotension
Smallest major class arteries; control amount of blood delivered to each organ; connected to capillaries by metarterioles
Arterioles
What's the natural pacemaker of the heart?
Sinoatrial (SA) node
What is it called when a heart rate is above the normal range?
Tachycardia
Which layer protects and lubricates the heart?
Pericardium
Chronically elevated BP of systolic pressure ≥ 130 mm Hg or diastolic ≥ 80 mm Hg
Hypertension
Distensions of leg veins due to pooling of blood and veins stretch weakening their walls and pulling valve cusps apart
Varicose veins
Procedure that records the electrical activities in the heart
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
What is the medical term for a heart attack?
Myocardial infarction
Most common capillaries; endothelium forms continuous tube with tight junctions
Continuous capillaries
The blockage of the coronary arteries by plaque is known as?
Atherosclerosis
What is the largest Artery in the body?
Aorta
Trace the pathway of the ICS
SA node -> AV node -> AV bundle -> bundle branches -> subendocardial conducting system
When you insert a laser/balloon to clear away a blockage in a Coronary Artery
Angioplasty
Name the 2 categories of valves and each of the 4 individual valves
tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, aortic. Semilunar and atrioventricular
Shock that results from large-scale blood or fluid loss
Hypovolemic
Found in organs with rapid absorption or filtration and has filtration pores.
Fenestrated capillaries
