|
4 chambers of the heart |
Right & Left Atrium (Atria) & Right & Left Ventricle (ventricles) |
|
|
this protects/covers the heart & anchors to the diaphragm & sternum |
fibrous pericardium (superficial sac surrounding the heart) |
|
|
3 flaps of endocardium |
Right AV valve |
|
|
valves located between the atrial & ventricle chambers on each side |
AV valves |
|
|
a result of anemia |
lower than normal # of RBCs or abnormal/deficient hemoglobin content in RBCs |
|
|
3 layers of the heart wall |
epicardium myocardium endocardium
|
|
|
outer part of heart wall |
epicadium |
|
|
layer of heart wall that are thick bundles of cardiac muscle |
myocardium |
|
|
heart muscle |
myocardium |
|
|
prevents back flow into the atria when ventricles contract |
AV valve |
|
|
anchors the flaps of the valves to the walls (muscles) of the ventricles |
condae tendineae |
|
|
2 flaps of endocardium |
left AV valve |
|
|
abnormally formed hemoglobin (stiff, deformed RBC rupture & damn up blood vessels) |
sickle cell anemia |
|
|
low iron level = low ? |
hemoglobin |
|
|
excessive increase in RBCs (may result in bone marrow cancer, may be normal response to living in high altitude & increased RBC slows blood flow & increase blood ?) |
polycthemia |
|
|
how many WBC are there |
4,000 to 11,000 per cubic mm |
|
|
high amounts of WBCs |
leukocytosis |
|
|
indicates a bacterial or viral infection is stewing |
leukocytosis |
|
|
abnormally low WBC |
leukopenia |
|
|
WBC are classified into 2 major groups |
granulocytes & agranulocytes |
|
|
carries blood from the lungs to the heart |
pulmonary veins |
|
|
delivers oxygen rich blood from the heart to the body |
aorta |
|
|
this can cause lodging in a blood vessel that is too narrow & cause a stroke |
embolus |
|
|
A thrombus that breaks away from the vessel wall & floats freely in the bloodstream |
embolus |
|
|
A clot that develops & persists in an unbroken blood vessel
(huge globs of platlets instead of fragments of platlets) |
thrombus |
