1. What are the major risk factors of heart disease?
High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, smoking, age, and family history
2. What is diastole?
The stage when the heart cycle is relaxed and the chambers are filling w/ blood -Opening
of these valves are silent
3. What is systole?
The stage when the heart cycle when the heart muscle contracts and the chambers pump blood
Out, when the ventricular pressure is higher
4. How does blood flow through the heart? 1. Blood enters the R atrium 2. The blood flows
through the tricuspid valve & then into the R ventricle 3. The ventricle forces blood into
the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery 4. The pulmonary artery pushes blood to
the lungs 5. The oxygenated blood from the lungs then
5. What race has the highest incident of heart disease? African Americans 41.4%

9. What is the job of the pericardium?
