Week 1 Assignment

Arteriosclerosis

Thickening decrease elasticity classification of the arteria of wall

Antr/o

Antrum, cavity

Arti/o

Joints

Sept/o

Septum

Ventricular/o

Ventricle

Depolarization

The change of the cell charge allows the impulse to move through the cell, causing action potential

Diastole phase

Cardiac cycle relaxes the heart, allowing another Chamber fill up

systole phases

Heart muscles contract, pumping blood out of the chamber

Veins

Brings blood back to the heart

Antrum

Cavity or chamber

Antrium

Receives blood from lungs

Septum

Thick muscular wall divides the heart into the right left section

Ventricle

Chambers in the heart that pump throughout the body

pericardium

Membrane around the heart ( like a sac )

endocardium

The inner thin layer that lines chambers and valves

Myocardium

The middle and the thickest layer that lines the chambers and valves

Epicardium

Outer layer that covers the heart

Aorta

Largest artery in the body carries rich oxygen blood from the left ventricle of the heart

Vena cava

Brings deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation

Pulmonary arteries

Carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation

Pulmonary veins

Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium

Arteri/o

Artery

Arteriol/o

Arteriole

Phleb/o

Veins

Aorta/ov

Aorta

Tricuspid valve

Heart wall located between the right atrium and the right ventricle

tachycardia

Heartbeat Abnormally fast

arteriosclerosis

Arteries become thickened and hardened

Arthrosclerosis

Plaque builds up the walls of arteries, causing them to become narrow and stiff

Aneurysm

Located bulge or dilation in the wall of the blood Vessel

peripheral Artery occlusion

Arteries are limb, become narrow, or blocked reducing blood flow to the affected area

Atrial fibrillation

Located in the posterior wall of the right atrium

Sinoatrail node

Located in the posterior superior wall of the atrium

Coronary artery

Bring nutrients and oxygen to heart tissue

Cyanosis

A bluish Discoloration of the lips, skin and nail beds

Myocardial infarction

Heart attack

Diaphorsis

Profuse sweating

Bradycardia

A pulse les than 60 beats per minute

Cardiomegaly

Enlargement of the heart

Pulmonic semilunar valve

One of the four valves located between the ventricle and the pulmonary artery

Tricuspid valve (2)

Phone right between the right atrium and the electrical and made up of three cusps

Mitral valve

Found between left atrium in electrical and made above two cusps or flaps

Aortic semilunar valve

Located between the left vein ventricle of heart and aorta

Ischemia

Condition where there is a reduced blood flow to a part of the body

Repolarized

To the phase in which a cell particularly a nerve or muscle cell

Arrhythmia

Irregular heartbeat, too fast or two slow

Electrocardiography

Test that records electrical activity

Cardiac event recorder

Portable device to monitor record the heart
