Cardiovascular Terms by

1. Aortic Valve

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:39:24 UTC

LOCATED BETWEEN THE LEFT VENTRICLE AND THE AORTA, THE LARGEST ARTERY IN THE BODY. IT CLOSEES WHEN THE LEFT VENTRICLE IS FINISHED CONTRACTING, ALLOWIING BLOOD FLOW INTO THE AORTA AND PREVENTING BLOOD FROOM FLOWING BACK INTO THE LEFT VENTRICLE

Arryhythmias

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:39:32 UTC

ABNORMAL HEART RYTHYMS AND CAN BE MILD TO LIFE THREATNING.

3. arteries

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:39:45 UTC

CARRY BLOOD AWAY FROM THE HEART. THE AORTA IS THE LARGEST ARTERY IN THE BODY

4. blood

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:39:53 UTC

THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM IS OFTEN CALLED A TISSUE BECAUSE IT CONTAINS MANY KINDS OF CELLS

5. Capillaries

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:40:03 UTC

CONNECT ARTERIOLES WITH VENULES THE SMALLEST VEIN

6. Circulatory system

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:40:15 UTC

also known as the cardiovascular system is often referred to as the " transportation" system of the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. It transports oxygen and nutrients to the body cells and transports carbon dioxide and metabolic materials away from the body cells

7. Diastole

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:40:22 UTC

A BRIEF PERIOD OF REST

8. endocardium

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:40:56 UTC

A smooth layer inside the heart and is continuous with the inside of the blood vessels

9. erythrocytes

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:41:06 UTC

OR RED BLOOD CELLS ARE PRODUCED IN THE RED BONE MARROW AT A RATE OF ABOUUT ONE MILLION PER MINUTE

10. hemoglobin

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:41:15 UTC

A COMPLEX PROTEIN COMPOSED OF THE PROTEIN MOLECULE CALLED GLOBEN AND THE IRON COMPOUND CALLED HOME. CARRIES OCYGEN AND CARBON DDIOXIDE

11. left atrium

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:41:22 UTC

RECIVES OXYGENTATED BLOOD FROM THE PULMONARY VEINS

12. left ventricle

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:41:34 UTC

RECIVES BLOOD FROM THE LEFT ATRIUM AND PUMPS BLOOD INTO THE AORTA FOR TRANSPORTATION TO THE BODY CELLS

13. leukocytes

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:41:51 UTC

OR WHITE BLOOD CELLS ARE NOT AS NEMEROUS AS ARE EYTHROCYTES, THEY ARE FORMED IN THE BONE MARROW AND LYMPH TISSYE AND USUALLY LIVE ABOUT 3-9 DYAS.

14. Mitral Valve

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:42:08 UTC

LOCATED BETWEEN THE LEFTT ATRIUM AND LEFT VENTRICLE. IT CLOSES WHEN THELEFT VENTRICLE IS CONTRACTING, ALLOWING BLOOD FLOW INTO THE AORTTA FOR TRANSPORT TO THE BODY AND PREVENTING BLOOD FROOM FLOWING BACK INTO THE LEFT ATRIUM

15. Myocardium

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:42:17 UTC

the muscular and the thickest layer.

16. Pericardium

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:42:26 UTC

A DOUBLE LAYRED MEMBRANE OR SAC THAT COVERS THE OUTSIDE OF THE HEART. LUBRICATING FLUID FILLS THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO LAYERS TO PREVENT FRICTION AND DAMAGE TO THE MEMBRANE AS THE HEART BEATS OR CONTRACTS.

17. Plasma

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:42:32 UTC

90 PERCENT WATER WITH MANY DISSOLVED ORR SUPENDED SUBSTANCES.

18. Pulmonary valve

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:42:42 UTC

LOCATED BETWEEN THE RIGHT VENTRICLE AND PULMONARY ARTERY, A BLOOD VESSEL THAT CARRIED BLOOD TO THE LUNGS. IT CLOSES WHEN THE RIGHT VENTRICAL HAS FINISHED CONTRACTING, PREVENTING BLOOD FROM FLOWING TO THE RIGHT VENTRICLE

19. right atrium

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:42:58 UTC

Receives blood as it returns from the blood cells

20. right ventricle

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:43:07 UTC

RECIVES BLOOD FROM THE RIGHT ATRIUM AND PUMPS THE BLOOD INTO THE PULOMANARY ARTERY

21. septum

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:43:12 UTC

A MUSCULAR WALL THAT SEPERATES THE HEART INTO A RIGHT SIDE AND A LEFT SIDE. PREVENTS BLOOD FROM MOVING BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES OF THE HEART

A PERIOD OF VENTRICLE CONTRACTION

23. thrombocytes

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:43:27 UTC

USUALLY DESCCRIBES AS FRAGMENRA OR PIECES OF CELLS BECAUSE THEY LACK NUCLEI

24. tricuspid valve

jordanlightner — 2025-03-19 14:43:38 UTC

LOCATED BETWEEN THE RIGHT ATRIUM AND THE RIGHT VENTRICLE. IT CLOSES WHEN THE RIGHT VENTRRICLE CONTRACTS LOWING BLOOD FLOW TO THE LUNGS AND PREVENTINF BLOOD FROM FLOWING BACK INTO THE RIGHT ATRIUM
