What is Atrial Systole?
The atria fill with blood and pressure increases
1 of 16
What Valve(s) are open?
Atrioventricular
2 of 16
What is Ventricular Systole?
Ventricles contracting
3 of 16
What Valve(s) are open?
Semilunar
4 of 16
What is Diastole?
Blood flowing into the relaxing atria
5 of 16
What Valve(s) are open?
Neither
6 of 16
Why is the rate at which electrical activity passes from Atrioventricular Node to Bundle of His important?
It allows the blood to leave the atria before diastole
7 of 16
Why are the Heart and Arteries described as organs?
They contain more than one tissue
8 of 16
Why might an Atheroma lead to a Blood clot?
Due to damage to the endotheliam layer

Stop adrenaline so lowers blood pressure

Abnormal heart rhythm, headaches, red flushes to the face

What are Anticoagulants e.g Warafin?

What is an Anuerysm?
When the blood vessel ulges and weakens which increases risk of rupture and internl bleeding
