front 1 cardiovascular system | back 1 transport blood, oxygen, nutrients, and waste via the heart and blood vessels |
front 2 heart | back 2 a muscular organ in the middle of the chest, center of the cardiovascular system, control flow of blood around the body |
front 3 atria | back 3 upper chambers of the heart (A points upwards) |
front 4 ventricles | back 4 lower chambers of the heart (V points downwards) |
front 5 valves | back 5 stop backward flow of blood in the heart |
front 6 tricuspid valve | back 6 right atrium to right ventricle in the heart |
front 7 mitral valve | back 7 left atrium to left ventricle in the heart |
front 8 pulmonary valve | back 8 right ventricle to pulmonary arteries in the heart |
front 9 aortic valve | back 9 left ventricle to aorta in the heart |
front 10 arteries | back 10 carry blood AWAY from the heart |
front 11 pulmonary arteries | back 11 right ventricle to left and right lungs in the heart |
front 12 aorta | back 12 left ventricle to body in the heart, largest artery, has brachiocephalic artery branches from its arch |
front 13 veins | back 13 carry blood TO the heart |
front 14 superior / inferior vena cava | back 14 body to right atrium of heart |
front 15 pulmonary veins | back 15 lungs to left atrium of heart |
front 16 systemic circulation | back 16 blood pumped around the body |
front 17 pulmonary circulation | back 17 blood pumped around heart, oxygenates blood to send back out to body |
front 18 What happens to deoxygenated blood? | back 18 superior/inferior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood to the right atrium goes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle goes through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary arteries to the right and left lungs |
front 19 What happens to oxygenated blood? | back 19 the blood becomes oxygenated in the capillary beds of the lungs goes through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium goes through the mitral valve to the left ventricle goes through the aortic valve to the aorta with brachiocephalic artery branches leading out to the body |
front 20 apex | back 20 the bottom part of the heart |
front 21 coronary arteries | back 21 blood vessels that supply oxygen to the heart |
front 22 auricles | back 22 atrium extensions that look like ears |
front 23 chordae tendinae | back 23 fibrous chords that connect to tricuspid and mitrial valves and papillary muscles, allow to open and close |
front 24 papillary muscles | back 24 attached to chordae tendinae in ventricles and the cusps of tricuspid and mitral valves |
front 25 left ventricle | back 25 thicker walls since pumps to the whole body |
front 26 right ventricle | back 26 thinner walls since pumps to the lungs |
front 27 right and left atrium | back 27 thinnest walls because only need to pump to next chamver |
front 28 angina | back 28 causes chest pain because of reduced blood flow to the heart |
front 29 atherosclerosis | back 29 plaque build up in artery walls |
front 30 myocardial infarction | back 30 blood / O2 supply to heart reduced leads to tissue death in muscle |
front 31 aortic valve stenosis (AS) | back 31 aortic valve narrows, blood flow obstructed |
front 32 patent foramen ovale (PFO) | back 32 hole in heart walls from birth blood pressure |
front 33 congenitive heart failure (CHF) | back 33 structural heart valve defects, heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy), abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmias), heart attack |
front 34 cardiomegaly | back 34 enlarging of the heart |
front 35 ventricular / atrial septal defect | back 35 hole in septum wall |
front 36 subacute bacterial endocarditis | back 36 bacteria enters bloodstream, attacks valves |
front 37 left ventricular hypertrophy | back 37 left ventricle walls thicken |
