| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| AORTA | LARGEST ARTERY OF THE BODY WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE HEART AT THE LEFT VENTRICLE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING OXYGENATED BLOOD TO THE BODY |
| AORTIC SEMILUNAR VALVE | ENTRANCE OF THE AORTA HALF MOON THIS VALVE KEEPS BLOOD IN THE AORTA PREVENTS BACKFLOW INTO THE VENTRICLE |
| ARTERY | VESSELS THAT CARRY OXYGENATED BLOOD THEY PULSE IN TIME WITH THE HEARTBEAT TO PUSH BLOOD INTO SMALLER VESSELS |
| ATRIA CHAMBER | TWO UPPER CHAMBERS OF THE HEART |
| ATRIOVENTRICULAR AV NODE | SECOND NODE IN THE INTRINSIC CONDUCTION SYSTEM LOCATED AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE RIGHT VENTRICLE |
| BICUSPID VALVE | THE VALVE BETWEEN THE LEFT ARTIUM AND LEFT VENTRICLE OF THE HEART THAT ACTS AS A DOORWAY TO PREVENT BLOOD FROM FLOWING BACKWARD |
| BUNDLE OF HIS | CONDUCTIVE TISSUE LOCATED IN THE SEPTUM OF THE HEART |
| CARDIC CYCLE | ONE CONTRACTION AND ONE RELAXATION OR ONE HEARTBEAT |
| DIASTOLE | RELAXATION PHASE OF THE HEART CREATED BY THE RELEASE OF THE PURKINJE FIBERS ON THE VENTRICLES |
| ENDOCARDIUM LAYER | SMOOTH EPITHELIAL TISSUE LINING THE INSIDE OF THE HEART |
| EPICARDIUM LAYER | OUTER LAYER OF THE HEART |
| INTRINSIC CONDUCTION SYSTEM | ELECTRICAL IMPULSES CONTROL CONTRACTION BY A BUILT IN CONDUCTION SYSTEM |
| MYOCARDIUM | THICK MIDDLE LAYER OF THE HEART MUSCLE |
| PERICARDIUM | MEMBRANE THAT SURROUNDS THE HEART |
| PULMONARY ARTERY | STRUCTURE THAT CARRIES DEOXYGENATED BLOOD FROM THE RIGHT VENTRICLE TO THE LUNGS |
| PULMONARY SEMILUNAR VALVE | ENTRANCE TO THE PULMONARY HALF MOON WHICH KEEPS BLOOD IN THE PULMONARY ARTERY AND PREVENTS IT FROM FLOWING BACKWARD INTO THE VENTRICLE |
| PULMONARY VEINS | VESSELS THAT BRING OXYGENATED BLOOD BACK FROM THE LUNGS TO THE LEFT ARTIUM |
| PURKINJIE FIBERS | LAST STRUCTURES OF THE INTRINSIC CONDUCTION SYSTEM THAT SURROUND THE HEART VENTRICLES LIKE A NET WHEN AN IMPULSE REACHES THEM THEY PULLL UPWARD CAUSING A STRONG CONTRACTION IN THE VENTRICLES |
| SEPTUM | THICK WALL OF TISSUE BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND LEFT HALF OF THE HEART |
| SINOATRIAL SA NODE | FIRST CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICAL IMPULSES IN THE INTRINSIC CONDUCTION SYSTEM ALSO CALLED THE PACEMAKER OF THE HEART OR THE SINUS NODE |
| SYSTOLE | STRONG CONTRACTION CREATED BY PURKINJE FIBERS PULLING UP ON THE VENTRICLES OF THE HEART |
| CARDIC OUTPUT | HOW MUCH BLOOD IS PUMPED OUT OF THE HEART IN ONE MINUTE |
| INFARCTION | TISSUE DEATH |
| TRICUSPID VALVE | STRUCTURE LOCATED BETWEEN THE RIGHT ARTIUM AND RIGHT VENTRICLE OF THE HEART THAT ACTS AS A DOORWAY TO PREVENT BACKFLOW OF BLOOD |
| VEIN | VESSELS THAT CARRY DEOXYGENATED BLOOD BLOOD IN THE VEINS IS FULL OF THE WASTE PRODUCT CARBON DIOXIDE |
| VENA CAVA | LARGEST VEINS IN THE BODY ATTACH TO THE HEART AT THE RIGHT ATRIUM |
| VENTRICLES CHAMBER | TWO LOWER CHAMBERS OF THE HEART THAT CONTRACT TO CAUSE SYSTOLE |
| APEX | THE POINTED BOTTOM OF THE HEART WHICH SITS ON THE DIAPHRAGM IS ANGLED TOWARD THE LEFT SIDE |
| BASE | THE FLATTENED TOP OF THE HEART IT POINTS TOWARD THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND IS THE SITE OF ATTACHMENT FOR THE VESSELS |
| MEDIASTINUM | THE HEART IS LOCATED IN THE THORACIC CAVITY ABOVE THE DIAPHRAGM AND BETWEEN THE LUNGS IN A SPACE |
| DEOXYGENATED | VEINS IS TO CARRY DEOXYGENATED BLOOD FROM THE TISSUES BACK TO THE HEART |
| OXYGENATED | ARTERIES IS TO CARRY OXYGENATED BLOOD THAT COMES INTO THE HEART FROM THE LUNGS TO THE TISSUES OF THE BODY |
| ANGINA PECTORIS | CHEST PAIN AND DISCOMFORT THAT OCCURS WHEN THE HEART IS NOT RECEIVING ENOUGH BLOOD USUALLY BECAUSE OF ARTERIOSCLEROSIS OR ATHEROSCLEROSIS |
| ARRHYTHMIA | ABNORMAL OR IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT MAY BE CALLED DYSRHYTHMIAS |
| ARTERIOSCLEROSIS | THICKENING OF THE ARTERIES THAT SLOWS BLOOD FLOW |
| BRADYCARDIA | SLOW HEARTBEAT <60 BPM |
| CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE | GENERALIZED TERM FOR DECREASED BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE HEART CAUSED BY EITHER ARTERIOSCLEROSIS OR ATHEROSCLEROSIS |
| FIBRILLATION | TYPE OF ARRHYTHMIA WHERE THE HEART IS IN SPASM SO THAT IT IS UNABLE TO PUMP BLOOD |
| FLUTTER | LESSER FORM OF FIBRILLATION |
| HYPERTENSION | ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE > 140/90 MM HG |
| MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION | DEATH OF THE HEART MUSCLE BECAUSE OF LOSS BLOOD FLOW HEART ATTACK |
| PHLEBITIS | INFLAMMATION OF THE VEINS |
| TACHYCARDIA | RAPID HEARTBEAT > 100 BPM |
| VARICOSE VEINS | SWOLLEN AND TWISTED VEINS MOST OFTEN FORMED IN THE LEGS BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE VALVES IN THE VEINS OCCURS OFTEN IN ELDERLY PEOPLE |
| INTRINSIC CONDUCTION SYSTEM | CARDIC CONDUCTION SYSTEM |
| SINOATRIAL NODE | LOCATED UPPER PART RT ATRIUM ACTS LIKE A TRIGGER CONTROLS HEARTRATE NATURAL PACEMAKER |
| ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE | BOTTOM RT ATRIUM |
