Heart Anatomy
This chamber pumps oxygenated blood into the body.
What is the left ventricle.
Blood pressure is measured in these units.
What are millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Blood enters the right atrium from these two veins.
What are the superior and inferior vena cava.
What are the four blood types.
What is type A, B, AB, and O.
Chest pain from reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
What is angina pectoris.
This valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle.
What is the mitral valve (or bicuspid valve).
The top number in a blood pressure reading represents this phase.
What is systole (contraction phase).
Blood flows from the right ventricle to the lungs through this artery.
What is the pulmonary artery.
This blood type is known as the universal donor.
What is blood type O-.
This occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked.
What is myocardial infarction (heart attack).
The right side of the heart pumps blood to this organ.
What are the lungs.
The average normal adult blood pressure is approximately this.
What is 120/80 mmHg.
Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs to the heart via these veins.
What are the pulmonary veins.
This blood type is known as the universal recipient.
What is blood type AB+
High cholesterol can lead to this artery-clogging condition.
What is atherosclerosis.
This node initiates the heart beat.
What is the Sinoatrial (SA) node
This condition is defined as consistently high blood pressure.
What is hypertension.
The last structure blood passes through before leaving the heart is this valve.
What is the aortic valve.
The presence or absence of this factor determines if blood is positive or negative.
What is the Rh factor.
A weak or bulging area in a blood vessel wall is called this.
What is an aneurysm.
These blood vessels supply the heart muscle with oxygen.
What are the coronary arteries.
This instrument measures blood pressure.
What is a sphygmomanometer.
List the full pathway of blood flow through the heart (in order).
What is the right atrium.. right ventricle.. pulmonary arteries.. lungs.. pulmonary veins.. left atrium.. left ventricle.. aorta.. body.
A person with type A- blood can safely receive blood from which types?
What is blood type A- and O-.
This condition occurs when the heart cannot pump blood efficiently.
What is congestive heart failure.
