#1
Front (Question)

cardiac tissue that makes up the heart muscles

Back (Answer)

MYOCARDIUM

#2
Front (Question)

sac that surrounds the heart

Back (Answer)

PERICARDIUM

#3
Front (Question)

four chambers divided by a median septum

Back (Answer)

2 inferior ventricles

#4
Front (Question)

receiving chambers

Back (Answer)

2 superior atrias

#5
Front (Question)

pumpin chambers

Back (Answer)

2 inferior ventricles

#6
Front (Question)

PULMONARY SYSTEM

Back (Answer)

The right side of the heart that pumps deoxygenated blood from heart towards the lungs

#7
Front (Question)

SYSTEMIC SYSTEM

Back (Answer)

left side of the heart that received oxygenated blood from lungs and pumps it towards the rest of the body

#8
Front (Question)

ERYTHROCYTES

Back (Answer)

red blood cells contains HEMOGLOBIN

#9
Front (Question)

LEUKOCYTES

Back (Answer)

white blood cells functions in immunity

#10
Front (Question)

HEMOGLOBIN

Back (Answer)

protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from lungs to body’s tissues. then returns carbon dioxide from tissues back to lungs

#11
Front (Question)

PLASMA

Back (Answer)

yellow liquid in blood contains water, immune proteins, and other substances

#12
Front (Question)

SYSTOLE

Back (Answer)

contraction of atria followed by ventricles to empty blood

#13
Front (Question)

DIASTOLE

Back (Answer)

rest phase, when chambers relax and refills with blood

#14
Front (Question)

heartbeat contraction 6 steps

Back (Answer)

1 impulse in SINOATRIAL (SA) NODE 2 contraction in ATRIA which forced blood into VENTRICLES 3 impulse in ATRIOVENTRICULAR (AV) NODE 4 impulse down AV bundle 5 impulse to right and left septum 6 impulse in Purkinje fibers of VENTRICLES

#15
Front (Question)

flow of PULMONARY SYSTEM (from heart to lungs)

Back (Answer)

VENA CAVA > R ATRIUM > R AV (TRICUSPID) VALVE > R VENTRICLE > SEMILUNAR VALVE > PULMONARY ARTERY > LUNGS

#16
Front (Question)

flow of SYSTEMIC SYSTEM from lungs to heart to rest of the body

Back (Answer)

LUNGS > PULMONRY VEINS > L ATRIUM > L AV (BICUSPID, MITRAL) VALVE > L VENTRICLE > AORTIC SEMILUNAR VALVE > AORTA > BODY

#17
Front (Question)

ATHEROSCLEROSIS

Back (Answer)

buildup of plaque in blood vessels reduces flow of blood when plaque breaks of, it can travel to smaller vessles and block

#18
Front (Question)

HEART ATTACK

Back (Answer)

when flow of blood to a part of heart muscle is blocked causing cardiac muscle tissue to die

#19
Front (Question)

HYPERTENSION

Back (Answer)

high blood pressure

#20
Front (Question)

which vessels carry deoxygenated blood?

Back (Answer)

PULMONARY ARTERIES and VENA CAVA

#21
Front (Question)

VENA CAVA

Back (Answer)

carries deoxygenated blood to heart

#22
Front (Question)

PULMONARY ARTERIES

Back (Answer)

carries deoxygenated blood away from heart and to lungs

#23
Front (Question)

why are arteries thicker and more elastic than veins?

Back (Answer)

arteries are under greater pressure from heartbeat

#24
Front (Question)

blood pressure reads __/__ mm Hg

Back (Answer)

systole/diastole mm Hg
