44 Terms

1

sinoatrial (SA) node

to start each heartbeat and set the rhythm for the heart

New cards
2

atrioventricular (AV) node

 to delay and move electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles

New cards
3

atrioventricular (AV) bundle:

conducts the impulse from the AV node to the ventricles and is located in the interventricular septum.

New cards
4

Purkinje fibers:

to move electrical signals from the base of the ventricles toward the top of the heart

New cards
5

myocardial infarction

Death of heart muscle due to blocked blood flow.

New cards
6

Fibrillation

Abnormal heart rhythm causing rapid, irregular contractions.

New cards
7

Tachycardia

Abnormally HIGH heart rate.

New cards
8

Bradycardia

Abnormally LOW heart rate.

New cards
9

Hypertension

High blood pressure.

New cards
10

Hypotension

Low blood pressure

New cards
11

things that increase/decrease BP

INCREASING BP like stress, obesity, and high salt intake

DECREASING BP like dehydration, bleeding, and shock

New cards
12

vasoconstriction v. vasodilation

VASOCONSTRICTION NARROWS blood vessels, INCREASING blood pressure. 

VASODILATION WIDENS blood vessels, DECREASING blood pressure.

New cards
13

systolic pressure v. diastolic pressure

SYSTOLIC - HIGHER number and represents the pressure when the ventricles are CONTRACTING

DIASTOLIC - LOWER number and represents the pressure when the ventricles are RELAXING

New cards
14

arteries v. veins

Arteries and veins TRANSPORT blood around the body, but arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. ARTERIES & VEINS have 3 layers. Arteries do NOT have VALVES while veins do. Arteries have more muscle tissue compared to veins. 

New cards
15

systole v. diastole

SYSTOLE is the CONTRACTION phase, DIASTOLE is the RELAXATION phase.

New cards
16

Number of halves

Four - tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve (bicuspid), and aortic valve. 

New cards
17

AV valves

AV valves (tricuspid and mitral) prevent backflow of blood into the atria during ventricular contraction. They are open during heart relaxation (diastole) and closed during ventricular contraction (systole).

New cards
18

semilunar valves

Semilunar valves (pulmonary and aortic) prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles after contraction. They are closed during diastole and open during ventricular contraction (systole)

New cards
19

atria v. ventricles

ATRIA are SMALLER, UPPER chambers that RECEIVE blood.

VENTRICLES are LARGER, LOWER chambers that pump blood OUT.

New cards
20

pulmonary v. systemic circulation: 

Pulmonary circulation carries blood to the lungs for oxygenation. 

Systemic circulation delivers oxygenated blood to the body. The right side of the heart drives pulmonary circulation; the left side drives systemic circulation.

New cards
21

agonist (prime mover)

Muscle that provides the primary force for a particular movement 

New cards
22

Antagonist

Muscles that oppose or reverses a prime mover 

New cards
23

isometric

muscle changes length (ex.push ups)

New cards
24

isotonic

muscle tenses up but does not change length (ex. plank)

New cards
25

Origin

the point where a muscle attaches to a less moveable bone

New cards
26

Insertion

attachment to a moveable bone.

New cards
27

Flexion vs EXTENSION

Flexion DECREASES the angle of the joint brings two adjacent bones.Use

Extension: INCREASES the angle or distance, between two adjacent bones.

New cards
28

Abduction

moving a limb away from the midline of the body. A movement where you stand with your arms at your sides and then raise your arms away from your body would be described as

New cards
29

Adduction

opposite of abduction movement of a limb toward the body midline

New cards
30

Dendrite

the branching extensions of neurons that carry electrical signals towards the cell body. The receptive portion of a nerve cell.

New cards
31

Cell body

Metabolic center of the neuron. Contains nucleus. Nissel bodies and neurofibrils are important.

New cards
32

Axon

Generate nerve impulses and conduct them away from the cell body. Transmits signals to other neurons, muscles and glands.

New cards
33

Node of Ranvier

Gaps between the two myelin insulation sheaths, which insulate (speed up) the axon of neurons. To speed up propagation of action potentials along the axon via saltatory conduction.

New cards
34

Schwann cell

Produce myelin sheath.

New cards
35

axon terminal

Releases neurotransmitters.

New cards
36

myelin sheath

Wrapped around the Schwann cell, so the axon sends information out of the cell body faster

New cards
37

parasympathetic v. sympathetic: 

Parasympathetic conserves energy, digest, and promotes rest.

Sympathetic activates the fight or flight response.

New cards
38

somatic nervous system

allows us to voluntarily control our skeletal muscles, referred to as the voluntary nervous system

New cards
39

autonomic nervous system

involuntary. Referred to as the involuntary nervous system has 2 parts - the sympathetic and parasympathetic

New cards
40

afferent v. efferent

afferent carries sensory information to the CNS - ARRIVES in brain

efferent carries sensory information AWAY or EXITS in brain

New cards
41

proximal v. distal

proximal : TOWARD the LIMB

distal: AWAY FROM the LIMB

New cards
42

medial v. lateral

Medial: TOWARD the MIDLINE ex. The big toe is a medial (to the small toe) 

Lateral: TOWARD the OUTSIDE/LEDGE  ex. The ear is lateral to the nose

New cards
43

cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

 assists the brain by providing protection, nourishment, and waste removal.

New cards
44

CNS v. PNS

(CNS): consists of the brain and spinal cord. Incoming sensory information and issue instructions based on past experience and current conditions. They send the information out to the body. 

(PNS): part of the nervous system outside the CNS. Consists nerves that extend from the brain and spinal cord. Spinal nerves carry impulses to and from the spinal cord. Cranial nerves carry impulses to and from the brain.
