Cardiology
Atrium - ANSUpper chamber
ventricle - ANSlower chanber
aorta - ANSBody's main artery
recieves the blood ejected from the left ventricle and delivers it to all other arteries
What side of the heart recieves all of the oxygen-poor blood from the venous circulation ( The
veins of the body) - ANSRight side
What side of the heart receives oxygen oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary
veins - ANSLeft side
Blood from the WHAT enters the WHAT, which then fills the WHAT. After contraction of the right
ventricle, blood flows into the WHAT and WHAT into the WHAT, where the blood is oxygenated.
As the blood reaches the lungs it recieves WHAT from the alveoli and WHAT is removed from
the blood
blood and The blood then returns to the WHAT through WHAT.
The WHAT side of the heart recieves oxygen oxygenated blood from the lungs through the
pulmonary veins. Blood enters the WHAT and then passes into the WHAT. - ANSvena cava
right atrium
Right ventricle
Pulmonary artery
Pulmonary circulation
Lungs
O2
CO2 waste
The WHAT ventricle is more muscular than the WHAT ventricle. - ANSLeft, Right
Normal electrical pulses begin in the WHAT. The impulses travel across both atria, stimulating
them to WHAT. Between the atria and the ventricles, the impulses cross a bridge of special
electrical tissue called WHAT. The impulses then exit the Blank node and spread throughout
, both ventricles via the WHAT. The right & left WHAT & WHAT? Causing the ventricular muscle
to contract. - ANSSinus Node (SA)
Contract
Atrioventricular node (AV)
Bundle of His
Bundle branches & Purkinje fibers
Sinus node is the WHAT - ANSUpper part of the right atrium
Stimulus that originates in the sinoatrial node is controlled by impulses from the brain which
arrive by what? - ANSAutonomic nervous system
Autonomic nervous system has two parts ? - ANSSympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous
system
WHAT Speeds up the heart rate and makes adjustments to the body to compensate for
increased physical activity. Speeds up heart rate, respiratory rate, and depth, dialates blood
vessles in the muscles and constricts blood vessles in the digestive system. - ANSSympathetic
nervous system
WHAT is exact opposite of Sympathetic nervous system Slows up the heart rate and makes
adjustments to the body to compensate for relaxation. Slows up heart rate, respiratory rate, and
depth, constricts blood vessles in the muscles and dilates blood vessles in the digestive system.
- ANSParasymathetic nervous system
Stroke volume - ANSblood ejected with each ventricular contraction.
Increased O2 demand of the myocardium is supplied by - ANSdilation
widening of the coronary arteries which increases blood flow. - ANSdilation
Coronary arteries - ANSBlood vessles that supply blood to the heart muscle.

Cardiac output - ANSHR * SV = CO measurment of blood circulatig through heart in 1 minute.
1. Well functioning heart OR pump: Operating at appropriate rate ( rate that's too slow or fast
will reduce the volume of blood being circulated = reducing CO)
2. Adequate volume of "fluid" or blood.
