Cardiovascular

Pertaining to the heart and blood vessels dang it

Pericardium also known as the pericardial sac

The double walled membrane is sacs Epicardiumthat enclosed is the heart

Epicardium

The external layer of the heart and inner layers of the pericardium

Myocardium

Is the middle and thickest of the hearts three layers

Heart

A hollow muscular organ located in the thoracic cavity, between the lungs

Endocardium

Consists of epithelial tissue, is the inner lining of the heart

Coronary arteries

Supply oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium

Atria

Two upper chambers of the heart and these chambers are didvided by the interatrial septum

Ventricles

Two lower chambers of the heart (divided by the interventricular septum)

Tricuspid valve

Controls the opening between the right atrium and right ventricle

Pulmonary semilunar valve

Located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery

Mitral valve

Located between the left atrium and left ventricle

Aortic semilunar valve

Located between the left ventricle and the aorta

Pulmonary circulation

The flow of blood only between the heart and lungs

Pulmonary arteries

Carry deoxygenated blood out of the right ventricle and into the lungs

Pulmonary veins

Carries the oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart

Systemic circulation

Includes the flow of blood to all parts of the body except the lungs

Heartbeat

The ability to pump blood effectively throughout the body

Sinoatrial node (SA node)

Located in the posterior wall of the right atrium near the entrance of the superior

Natural pacemaker

Atrioventricular node (AV Node)

Located on the floor of the right atrium near the interatrial septum. From here it transmits the electrical impulses onward to the bundle of His

Bundle of His

A group of fibers located within the interventricular septum. These fibers carry an electrical impulse to ensure the sequence of the heart contractions. These electrical impulses travel onward to the right and left ventricles and Purkinje fibers

Purkinje fibers

Specialized conductive fibers located within the walls of the ventricles. These fibers relay the electrical impulses to the cells of the ventricles, and it is this stimulation that causes the ventricles, and it is this stimulation that causes the ventricles to contract. This contraction of the ventricles forces blood out of the heart and into the aorta and pulmonary arteries

Arteries

Large blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to all regions of the body

Aorta

The largest blood vessel in the body. it begins from the left ventricle of the heart and forms the main trunk of the arterial system

Carotid arteries

The major arteries that carry blood upward to the head

Arterioles

Be smaller and thinner branches of arteries that deliver blood to Cavaleri. As it enters one end of the capillary bed, it is clear that the rate of flow of arterial blood shows

Capillaries

Our only one epithelial cell in thickness, are the smallest blood vessels in the body. A4 networks and expanded vascular bed and have an important role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the tissues

Veins

Form a low pressure collecting system to return oxygen poor blood to the heart

Venules

The smallest veins that join to form the larger veins

Venue cavae

The two larges veins in the body. These are the veins of return blood to the heart

Pulse

They rhythmic pressure against the walls of an artery caused by the contraction of the heart

Blood pressure

The measurement of the amount of systolic and diastolic pressure exerted against the walls of the arteries

Systolic pressure

Occurs when the ventricles contract, is the highest pressure against the walls of an artery

Diastolic pressure

Occurs when the ventricles are relaxed, is the lowest pressure against the walls of an artery

Plasma

A straw-colored fluid that contains nutrients, hormones, and waste products. Plasma is 91% water. The remaining 9% consist of mainly proteins, including the clotting proteins

Serum

Is a plasma fluid after blood cells and the clotting proteins have been removed

Fibrinogen & prothrombin

Be calling proteins found in plasma. They have an important role in clot formation to control bleeding

Erythrocytes

Red blood cells, but your red blood cells produced by the red bone marrow and its primary role of these cells is to transport oxygen to tissues

Hemoglobin

is the oxygen carrying by pro team pick me up of erythrocytes

Leukocytes

White blood cells, are the blood cells involved in defending the body against infective organisms and foreign substances

Neutrophils

Formed in red down marrow, are the most common types of white blood cells. Through phagocytosis, neutrophils play a major role in the immune systems defense against pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Basophils

Are also born in red bone marrow, are the least common type of white blood cell. Are responsible for causing the symptoms of allergies

Eosinophils

Our phone and read bone marrow and then migrate to tissues throughout the body. These cells destroy a parasitic organisms and play a major role in allergic reactions

Trans athletes aortic valve replacement TAVR

A relatively new, minimally invasive procedure in which the existing valve is left in place. A fully collapsible replacement valves delivered to the valve site through a catheter, and after it is expanded with in the defective valve, it takes over the function of the valve

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Commonly known as CPR, is an emergency procedure for life support consisting of artificial respiration in manual external cardiac compression

Aneurysmectomy

The surgical removal of an aneurysm

Aneurysmorrhaphy

Also known as aneurysmyoplasty, Is the surgical suturing of an aneurysm

Aneurysm clipping

Is surgical method to isolate and aneurysm from the rest of the circulatory system by placing a small clip across his neck. This titanium clip, which remains permanently in place, and prevents blood from flowing into the aneurysm

Arteriectomy

The surgical removal of part of an artery

Hemostasis

To stop or control bleeding

Plasmapheresis

Also known as plasma exchange, is the removal of whole blood from the body in separation of the blood cellular elements. The red blood cells and platelets are suspended in Celine or a plasma substitute and return to the circulartory system
