Blood Pressure |
2 numbers: the first is systolic pressure the second diastolic pressure. Elevation of blood pressure is called hypertension. |
|
|
Heart Rate |
The number of beats per time frame. Heart rate is based on the number of contractions of the ventricles (lower chamber of the heart) |
|
|
Circulatory System |
The system that circulates blood and lymph through the body, consisting of the heart, blood,vessels, blood, lymph, and the lymphatic vessels and glands. |
|
|
Cardio |
Blood is pumped through the heart and circulates throughout the body through blood vessels. |
|
|
Vascular |
|
|
|
Cardiac output |
The amount of blood the heart pumps through the circulatory system in a minute. The amount of blood put out by the left ventricle of the heart in one contraction is called the stroke volume. The stroke volume and the heart rate determine the cardiac output |
|
|
Coronary Arteries |
They are the first blood vessels that branch off from the ascending aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It transports and distributes oxygen rich blood to all arteries |
|
|
Septum |
Is a "wall", dividing a cavity or structure into smaller ones |
|
|
Atrium |
Blood enters the heart through the two atria and exits through the two ventricles. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium through the inferior and superior vena cava. The right side of the heart then pumps this deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary veins around the lungs. |
|
|
Ventricles |
The ventricles of the heart function to pump blood to the entire body. |
|
|
Heart Valves |
Prevents back flow of blood through its cusps or flaps of tissues |
|
|
Diastole |
Diastole is the part of the cardiac cycle when the heart refills with blood following systole (contraction). Ventricular diastole is the when the ventricles are filling and relaxing, while atrial diastole is when the atria are relaxing.
|
|
|
Systole |
Is when the heart muscle is contracted in order to force blood out of the chambers. |
|
|
Pulmonary Arteries |
the artery carrying deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. |
|
|
Pulmonary Vein |
Carries blood back to the heart from the lungs, where it was oxygenated. |
