🗑
name 5 white blood cell types   Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes  
🗑
Increased white blood cell count shows signs of   Infection (Bacterial)  
🗑
Most numerous type of white blood cells   Neutrophils  
🗑
Function of platelets (Thrombocytes)   Seals small tears in blood vessels (Blood clotting)  
🗑
5 components of blood plasma   Water 93%, Proteins, electrolytes, food substances, Respiratory gasses, Individual hormones, waste products  
🗑
name of abnormally low RBC   Anemia  
🗑
what are two types of causes for Anemia   Losing red blood cells, and not making red blood cells  
🗑
What is the most common reason for Anemia   Hemmoraging  
🗑
What is the Normal RBC count   4 to 6 million (5 million)  
🗑
What is the name for High RBC count   Polycythemia  
🗑
Normal range for white blood cells   4 to 11 thousand  
🗑
Term that means below normal range for white blood cell count   Leukopenia (under 4 thousand)  
🗑
Term for higher than normal range white blood cell count   Leukocytosis (over 11 thousand)  
🗑
Define thrombus   stationary blood clot  
🗑
Define Embolus   Moving blood clot  
🗑
Define Anticoagulant   Against clotting  
🗑
Define thrombolytic   Clot buster  
🗑
give normal Hemoglobin for male and female   Male 14 to 16 gram %, Female 12 to 15 gram %  
🗑
What is the function of hemoglobin   Carries oxygen to tissues and CO2 back to lungs  
🗑
Two pumping chambers of the heart   Left ventricle, right ventricle  
🗑
what are the two sets of valves in the heart   Atrioventricular valves, Semilunar valves  
🗑
Trace conduction pathway through the heart   SA node, Internodal tracts, AV node, bundle of HIS, right and left bundle branches, purkingie fibers  
🗑
What is MI   Myocardial infarction  
🗑
What is CABG   Corinary Artery Bipass Graph  
🗑
What is ECG   Electro cardiogram  
🗑
What is EEG   electro encephelogram  
🗑
Trace the flow of blood through the heart from the vena cava to the Aorta   Vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid, right ventricle, pulmonary semilunar valve (Pulmonic), pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary vein, left atrium, mitral valve (Bicuspid), left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta  
🗑
3 layers of the heart   Visceral paricardium (epicardium), myocardium, endocardium  
🗑
two upper chambers of the heart   Atria  
🗑
two lower chambers of the heart   ventricles  
🗑
two pumping chambers of the heart   ventricles  
🗑
the walls that seperate these chambers are called   septum  
🗑
Atrioventricular valves include   Right side tricuspid valve, left side bicuspid (mitral) valve  
🗑
The right heart pumps blood to   the lungs (pulmonary circulation)  
🗑
the left heart pumps blood to   all parts of the body (Systemic circulation)  
🗑
Pulmonary artery pressure is   25 systolic/ 8 diastolic  
🗑
% of venous blood that drains into right atrium   95%  
🗑
% of venous blood that drains into Thebesian veins   5%  
🗑
Thebesian veins empty into   the left heart  
🗑
Thebesian veins create   anatomic shunt (Blood bypasses lungs without gaining oxygen)  
🗑
Blockage of the coronary artery leads to   MI (Myocardial infarction)also known as a heart attack  
🗑
Electrocardiography Depolarization   contraction (Systole)  
🗑
Electrocardiography Repolarization   relaxation (diastole)  
🗑
Electrocardiography P wave   begin atrial depolarization  
🗑
Electrocardiography QRS   Ventricular depolarization  
🗑
Electrocardiography T wave   ventricular repolarization  
🗑
Atrial repolarization is hidden behind   QRS complex  
🗑
ECG traces the electrical imulse through   the heart  
🗑
When the hearts electrical pulse is messed up   arrhythmmia occurs  
🗑
Arrhythmia means   the heart is out of it's normal rhythm  
🗑
Heart block refers to   blockage of electrical impulses which cause heart contractions  
🗑
what may be indicated to correct the electrical pulses & make them regular   pace maker  
🗑
Heart failure   inability of heart to pump enough blood due to weak heart muscle  
🗑
Heart failure is caused by   cardiomyopathy, valve disorders, myocardial infarction  
🗑
poor myocardial tissue perfusion   ischemia  
🗑
complete coronary blockage results in   necrosis (Tissue death)  
🗑
left ventricle failure   CHF (Congestive heart faiure)  
🗑
Clinical sign of left ventricle failure   pulmonary edema  
🗑
right ventricle failure   cor pulmonale  
🗑
clinical sign of right ventricle failure   distended neck veins  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
