100

These two segments of this large vein returns blood to the heart from the systemic circulation.

What are the cranial and caudal vena cava?

100

These vessels usually carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.

What are arteries?

100
Prevent Blood from backflowing
What is valves?
100
Measurement of the force exerted by blood against the wall
What is blood pressure?
100
Blood enters the relaxed left atrium
What are the pulmonary veins?
200

Two lower chambers of the heart that receive blood from the atria and pumps it back out of the hear

What is Ventricles?

200
The smallest branches of the arteries (carries blood to capillaries)
What are the Arterioles?
200

Blood enters these vessels when it leaves Capillaries

What are Venules?

200
Felt by the wrist or throat is the surge of heart blood caused by contraction
What is pulse?
200
Controls the opening between the right atriumand right ventricle
What is Atrioventicular valve?
300
The two upper chambers of the heart
What is the Atria?
300
Provides blood to the myocardium
What are the coronary arteries?
300

Vein that carries blood in the upper body

What is Cranial Vena Cava?

300
Giving the highest blood pressure reading
What is systolic pressure?
300
The contraction phase
What is Systole?
400
The wall of septum that divides the left and right atria
What is Interatrial Septum?
400
Very thin walled allowing for the diffusion of the oxygen and nutrients from the blood into the body tissues
What is Capillaries?
400

Vein that carries blood in the lower body

What is The caudal Vena Cava?

400
Lowest blood pressure reading
What is Diastolic pressure?
400
The period time of chamber is relaxed
What is Diastole?
500
The wall or septum that divides the left and right ventricles
What is the Interventricular Septum?
500
Tiny Blood vessels
What is the Capillary Bed?
500

Blood pressure in these vessels is higher than in the veins.

What are the Arteries?

500
To see a full range as to what is happening in the blood
What is both numbers?
500
Largest artery in the body
What is Aorta?
