HCB Cardiovascular System — Anatomy &
Physiology — Study Guide and Practice
Material
angina pectoris - Correct answer- chest pain that results when the heart does not get enough oxygen
Asystole - Correct answer- A condition in which the heart has ceased generating electrical impulses.
cardiac arrest - Correct answer- Normal heartbeat and circulation of blood have completely stopped.
cardiology
Correct answer — study of the heart
cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Correct answer — actions taken to revive a person by keeping the person's heart and lungs working
coronary arteries
Correct answer — vessels that supply the myocardium
deep vein thrombosis
Correct answer — the presence of thrombus,blood clot in a vein, usually a deep vein of the lower limbs.
coronary artery disease
Correct answer — Disease that affects the arteries of the heart
Dehydration
Correct answer — When fluid output exceeds fluid intake causing a decrease in the amount of fluid in body tissues
Diaphoresis
Correct answer — cool, pale, and moist/sweaty skin; sweating
dysrhythmias
Correct answer — An irregular, or absent heart rhythm
edema
1
, Correct answer — swelling resulting from a buildup of fluid in the tissues
hemorrhage
Correct answer — the loss of a large amount of blood from the vessels, internal or external.
hypo-perfusion
Correct answer — Inability of the body to adequately circulate blood to the body's cells to supply them with oxygen and
nutrients. Also known as shock.
Hypotension
Correct answer — abnormally low blood pressure
Hypovolemia
Correct answer — decreased blood volume
myocardial infarction (MI)
Correct answer — heart attack; death of myocardial tissue (infarction) caused by ischemia (loss of blood flow) as a result of
an occlusion (plugging) of a coronary artery; usually caused by atherosclerosis; symptoms include pain in the chest or upper
body (shoulders, neck, and jaw), shortness of breath, diaphoresis, and nausea
occlusion
Correct answer — Blockage caused by fatty deposits
Palpitations
Correct answer — Irregular or rapid heartbeats they feel as a fluttering sensation in the chest.
Perfusion
Correct answer — The supply of oxygen to and removal of wastes from the cells and tissues of the body as a result of the flow
of blood through the capillaries.
Valve
Correct answer — a structure that opens and closes to permit the flow of a fluid in only one direction
ventricular fibrillation
