Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) - Answer✔a blanket term used to represent any symptoms
related to lack of oxygen (ischemia) in the heart muscle- also called cardiac compromise
Cardiac compromise - Answer✔Cause coronary syndrome (ACS)- a blanket term used to
represent any symptoms related to lack of oxygen (ischemia) in the heart muscle
Atria - Answer✔The two upper chambers of the heart.
There is a right atrium (which receives unoxygenated blood returning from the body) and a left
atrium (which receives oxygenated blood returning from the lungs).
Ventricles - Answer✔The two lower chambers of the heart.
There is a right ventricle (which send oxygen-poor blood to the lungs) and a left ventricle (which
send oxygen-rich blood to the body).
Venae cavae - Answer✔There are two- the superior venae cavae and the inferior venae cavae.
These two major veins return blood from the body to the right atrium (and from the right
atrium the blood is sent to the right ventricle).
Pulmonary arteries - Answer✔Arteries that bring unoxygenated blood from the heart to the
lungs.
Pulmonary veins - Answer✔Veins that oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart
(specifically to the left atrium).
Right atrium - Answer✔Receives unoxygenated blood from the body via the venae cavae and
upon contraction sends this blood to the right ventricle.
Right ventricle - Answer✔Receives unoxygenated blood from the right atrium and upon
contraction sends this blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.

Left atrium - Answer✔Receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins and
upon contraction sends this blood to the left ventricle.
Left ventricle - Answer✔Receives oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium and upon contraction
pumps this blood into the aorta (the body's largest artery) for distribution to the entire body.
Since the blood must reach all parts of the body, this is the most muscular and strongest part of
the heart.
Valve - Answer✔Structure between each atrium and ventricle that opens and closes to permit
the flow of a fluid (blood) in only one direction.
The heart's system of these one-way valves keeps the blood moving in the correct direction
along the path of circulation.
Cardiac conduction system - Answer✔A system of specialized muscle tissues that conducts
electrical impulses that stimulate the heart to beat; natural "pacemaker". Regulates rate,
rhythm, and force of heartbeat- which come from cardiac control centers of the brain. Nerve
impulses from these centers are sent to the pacemaker. Nerve impulses and chemicals released
into the blood control the heart's rate and strength of contractions.
Artery - Answer✔Any blood vessel carrying blood away from the heart
Coronary arteries - Answer✔Blood vessels that supply the muscles of the heart (myocardium)-
although the heart is constantly moving blood through it, it's receives its own blood supply
from these arteries.
Aorta - Answer✔Largest artery in the body; transports blood from he left ventricle to begin
systemic circulation. At the naval, it splits into the iliac arteries.
Carotid arteries - Answer✔The large neck arteries, one on each side of the neck, that carry
blood from the heart to the head.
Femoral artery - Answer✔The major artery supplying the leg; found in the thigh (on the femur).
Brachial artery - Answer✔Artery of the upper arm; the site of the pulse checked for an infant.
Radial artery - Answer✔Artery of the lower arm; felt when taking a pulse at the thumb side of
the wrist.
Posterior tibial artery - Answer✔Artery supplying the foot, behind the medial ankle.
Dorsalis pedis artery - Answer✔Artery supplying the foot, lateral to the large tendon of the big
toe.
Arteriole - Answer✔The smallest kind of artery; the smallest branch of an artery which then
lead to capillaries.
