left and right atrium
3 of 20
what muscle is the heart made of
cardiac muscle
4 of 20
what is pulmonary circulation
When blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart.
5 of 20
what is systemic circulation
blood is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body and back to the heart.
6 of 20
What do the semi lunar valves do
prevent backflow of blood from arteries when ventricles relax
7 of 20
what does the pulmonary artery do
carries deoxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
8 of 20
whjat does the pulmonary vein do
carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
9 of 20
What is the aorta
an artery carrying blood to the body
10 of 20
what is the vena cava
a vein carrying blood from the body
11 of 20
what does the tricuspid do
prevents backflow of blood in to the right atrium when the right ventrical relaxes
12 of 20
what does the bicuspid do
prevents backflow of blood to the left atrium when the ventrical contracts
13 of 20
what are the four chambers of the heart
right ventrical
left ventrical
right atrium
left atrium
14 of 20
why do arteries have thick walls
because they carry blood under pressure away from the heart
15 of 20
why do veins have thin walls
They carry blood under low pressure back to the heart
16 of 20
what is cardiovascular disease
All diseases of the heart such as strokes, angina and heart attacks
17 of 20
what are risk factors of cardiovascular disease
high levels of fat a and salt in the diet
high blood pressure
high blood cholestorol
smoking
genes
lack of exercise
18 of 20
What is atherodclerosis
arteries become clogged with fatty substances called plaques or atheroma
19 of 20
what are the affects of atheroma
makes blood flow more difficult possible causing blood clots, and if they become blocked, heart attacks or angina may happen.
