Atrium they are the receiving chambers

Ventricle they are the pumping chambers

Bicuspid valve/Mitral valve is the valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle
Tricuspid valve is the valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
Pericardial Cavity is the cavity that surrounds the heart
Serous Fluids these are the fluids that fill body cavities
Epicardium/Visceral Pericardium the outermost layer of the heart walls
Myocardium the middle layer which is made up of thick muscle and is responsible for the heart contraction
Endocardium the innermost layer of the heart walls
Myocardial Infarction the myocardium irregularly functioning when someone has a heart attack
1.8 seconds it is how long one cardiac cycle lasts (the contraction and subsequent relaxation)
Tachycardia if heart rate is more than 100 beats per minute
Bradycardia if heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute
Cardiac Output it refers to the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute
5 liters per minute the normal cardiac output
Sphygmomanometer device used to measure blood pressure
Systolic is the measure of the force exerted when the ventricles are contracting
Diastolic is the force of blood against the blood vessel walls when the ventricles are relaxed
Pulmonary circulation right ventricle, pulmonary artery, lungs (gas exchange), pulmonary vein, left atrium,
bicuspid valve, left ventricle
Systemic circulation left ventricle, aorta, systemic arteries, capillary bed (gas exchange), systemic veins,
superior and inferior vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle
Arteries carries blood away from the heart (carries oxygenated blood)
Veins carries blood back to the heart (carries unoxygenated blood)
Capillaries are the ones that connect the arteries and veins
Pulmonary Arterythe only artery carrying unoxygenated blood
Arterioles the smallest branch of the arteries that connects into the capillaries
Aorta the largest artery in the human body
Pulmonary Vein the only vein carrying oxygenated blood
Venules the smallest branch of the veins that connects into the capillaries
Great Saphenous Vein the longest vein in the human body
Tunica Adventitia/Tunica Externa it is the outermost layer and is made up of connective tissue
Tunica Media it is made up of muscular tissue and is thicker in arteries than in veins
Tunica Intima/Tunica Interna it is the innermost layer and is made up of a single layer of endothelial cells
Antecubital Fossais the area where you can find the veins to do phlebotomy and is located anterior to your elbow
Whole blood 55% plasma, 45% formed elements
