Cards

Term
intercalated discs
Definition
where cells connect to each other; helps all cells work together instead of individually
Term
veins move blood ______ from heart
Definition
towards
Term
arteries move blood ______ from heart
Definition
away
Term
cardiac output
Definition
amount of blood that the heart pumps out
Term
what happens when cardiac output is low?
Definition
poor circulation
Term
what happens when cardiac output is high?
Definition
drown in blood
Term
ductus venosus
Definition
allows blood from the umbilical vein to bypass fetal liver by dumping into vena cava
Term
what is the foramen ovale?
Definition
hole in fetuses between the two atria
Term
what is the ductus arteriosus?
Definition
allows the blood in the heart to move directly from the pulmonary artery to the aorta; fetuses don't use lungs until they're born so no need to oxygenate the blood
Term
mitral valve
Definition
bicuspid valve between the left atrium and ventricle
Term
tricuspid valve
Definition
valve between the right atrium and ventricle
Term
pulmonary valve
Definition
valve between the left ventricle and the pulmonary artery
Term
aortic valve
Definition
valve between the right ventricle and the aorta
Term
valve stenosis
Definition
narrowing of the valves
Term
What effect does valve stenosis have on blood flow?
Definition
causes slower blood flow
Term
depolarization
Definition
contraction
Term
repolarization
Definition
relaxation
Term
what happens to K, Na, and Ca during depolarization?
Definition
K = moves out
Na & Ca = move in
Term
what happens to K, Na, and Ca during repolarization?
Definition
K = moves in
Na & Ca = move out
Term
purkinje fibers
Definition
contract ventricles
Term
what is the name for the "pacemaker"?
Definition
SA (sinoatrial) node
Term
diastole
Definition
ventricles dialate/relax and fill with blood
Term
systole
Definition
ventricles contract and push blood out
Term
what is happening during the lub part of lub-dub?
Definition
ventricles contract (systole); atria fill with blood
Term
what is happening during the dub part of lub-dub?
Definition
atria contract; ventricles fill with blood (diastole)
Term
what causes heart murmurs?
Definition
turbulence
Term
which arrhythmias can you use defibrillation on?
Definition
ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (v-tach and v-fib)
Term
dilated cardiomyopathy
Definition
heart chamber (usually the left ventricle) become too flaccid to squeeze blood effectively; left ventricle dilated = left sided heart failure
Term
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Definition
thickened myocardium (usually in left ventricle); can cause thromboembolism
Term
thromboembolism
Definition
blood clot
Term
follow the path of a single blood cell through the heart beginning at the left ventricle (include valves)
Definition
1. left ventricle
2. aortic valve
3. aorta
4. body
5. cranial and caudal vena cava
6. right atrium
7. tricuspid valve
8. right ventricle
9. pulmonary valve
10. pulmonary artery
11. lungs
12. pulmonary veins
13. left atrium
14. mitral valve
