25
typically 75 beats per minute
heart rate (HR)
26
vessels that carry blood away from the heart
arteries and arterioles
27
vessels that play a role in exchanges between tissues and blood
capillary beds
28
vessels that return blood toward the heart
venules and veins
29
smooth muscle and elastic tissue
tunica media
30
arteries have a heavier, stronger, stretchier tunica media than veins to withstand changes in pressure
Arteries vs. veins
31
veins have a thinner tunica media than arteries and operate under low pressure
arteries vs. veins
32
-veins also have valves to prevent backflow of blood -lumen of veins is larger than that of arteries -skeletal muscle "milk" blood in veins toward the heart
arteries vs. veins
33
largest artery in the body, major systemic artery; arises from the left ventricle of the heart
Aorta
34
hepatic portal vein carries blood to the
liver, where it s processed before returning to systemic circulation
35
hepatic portal circulation is formed by
veins draining the digestive organs, spleen, and pancreas, which empty into the hepatic portal vein
36
hepatic portal vein receives blood from:
splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, left gastric vein
37
pressure the blood exerts against the inner walls for the blood vessels, force that causes blood to continue to flow in the blood vessels
blood pressure (BP)
38
label for blood pressure
mmHg
39
heat has a vasodilating effect
temperature, widens blood vessels
40
cold has a vasoconstricting effect
temperature, closes blood vessels
41
low systolic ( below 100 mmHg), often associated with illness, acute is warning sign for circulatory shock (stand up really fast= dizziness)
hypotension (low BP)
42
sustained elevated material pressure (140/90 mmHg), warn of increased peripheral resistance (more serous condition)
hypertension (high BP)
43
organ system that distrubles blood to all parts of the body
cardiovascular system
44
heart point, directed towards the left hip and rest on the diaphragm
apex
45
the region of the thoracic cavity between the lungs
mediastinum
46
the membranous sac enveloping the heart
pericardium
47
loosely fitting superficial art of the pericardium sac
fibrous pericardium
48
deep to the fibrous pericardium is the slippery, two layer...
serous pericardium
49
the outer layer of a serous membrane that lines the walls of a body cavity
parietal layer
50
innermost layer of a serous membrane that directly covers or adheres to an organ
visceral layer
51
a serous membrane that tightly hugs the external surface of the heart and is actually part of the heart wall; also called visceral pericardium
epicardium
52
inflammation for the pericardium
pericarditis
53
the cardiac muscle layer of the heart wall
myocardium
54
the endothelial membrane lining the interior of the heart
endocardium
55
the two upper chambers of the heart
atria
56
the two lower chambers of the heart
ventricles
57
large vein that empties into the heart, legs, feet and organs in abdomen/ pelvis
inferior vena cava
58
large vein that carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest to heart
superior vena cava
59
large artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs
pulmonary trunk
60
blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart
pulmonary veins
61
system of blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs for gas exchange
pulmonary circulation
