100
This is the direct outflow of the heart to the body
What is the aorta?
100
These are the four compartments of the heart.
What is the right atrium, the left atrium, the right ventricle, the left ventricle?
100
This category of high pressure vessels carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
What are arteries?
100
This is the units in which we measure blood pressure.
What is mm/hg?
100
This a condition where your heart stops contracting.
What is a heart attack?
200
These arteries supply oxygen to the heart muscle.
What is the coronary artery?
200
This is the first compartment of the heart that receives venous blood from the body
What is the right atrium?
200
These are the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
What is the pulmonary arteries?
200
This is the phase of heart contraction that yields the highest blood pressure.
What is systole?
200
This is a condition where there can be one of three cardinal signs--face looks uneven on one side, speech is abnormal, and one arm is droopy.
What is a stroke?
300
This vessel has a diameter larger than a capillary but smaller than an artery.
What is an arteriole?
300
This is the pacemaker of the heart.
What is the SA node?
300
These are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What are the pulmonary veins?
300
This is the phase of relaxation of the heart.
What is diastole?
300
This is a treatment for chest pain in patients with coronary artery disease.
What is nitroglycerin?
400
This is where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide in the circulation.
What is a capillary?
400
This is a valve that connects the right atrium to the right ventricle.
What is the tricuspid valve?
400
This carries deoxygenated blood from the head, neck and upper extremities into the right atrium.
What is the superior vena cava?
400
These are responsible for both ventricle contracting at the same time.
What are purkinje fibers?
500
This vessel contains a high amount of elastic tissue to support high pressure blood flow that it has to sustain.
What is the aorta?
500
This is the valve that connect the left atrium from the left ventricle.
What is the mitral valve?
500
This is the vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower extremities to the right atrium.
What is the inferior vena cava?
500
This receives the electrical stimulus immediately after the SA node
What is the AV node?
