Q

Cardiovascular system

A

includes the blood vessels (arteries and veins) and the heart, transports blood throughout the body, transports blood from the capillaries in the lungs to capillaries throughout the body, the heart is the pump that pushes blood through the arteries and veins, blood and lymph are the liquid mediums in which the materials are transported.

Q

lymphatic system

A

linked directly to the circulatory system and immune system, is made up of lymph vessels and nodes, collects excess extracellular fluid as lymph and transports it from the periphery to the venous system, thereby helping the cardiovascular system maintain adequate blood volume and pressure. In addition, helps the immune system by filtering bacteria,viruses, waste products and other foreign matter and by producing specific antibodies that help the immune system fight infection and defend against invasion by foreign material

Q

pulmonary system

A

transports oxygen-depleted blood from the body through the right side of the heart to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. When blood reaches the lungs, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen before returning to the left side of the heart via the pulmonary veins

Q

systemic circuit

A

loops through the left side of the heart out to the rest of the body via the aorta and branching arteries and then to capillary beds where the oxygen in the blood is exchanged for carbon dioxide allowing the blood to be transported back to the right side of the heart through veins

25
veins
three layer vessels which transport blood back to the heart, larger ones contain valves, also greater diameter than arteries with thinner walls, less elastic than arteries, generally paired with arteries
26
venules
smallest veins
27
superior and inferior vena cava
largest veins
28
capillaries
one layer endothelial tubes forming the link between arteries and veins, all exchanges happen in capillaries
29
coronary arteries
branch off of aorta first
30
pulse
an important clinical feature of arteries, the throbbing that can be felt at various locations in the body, caused by contraction and expansion of an artery as a wave of blood passes a particular spot
31
radial artery
artery of wrist
32
carotid artery
artery of neck
33
dorsal pedis artery
artery atop ankle
34
blood pressure
pressure is highest during contracting phase, systole and lowest when ventricles relax and fill, diastole
35
sphygmomanometer
blood pressure cuff
36
ascending aorta
leaves the left ventricle of the heart, passes upward and arches above the heart
37
coronary arteries
immediately branch off of the ascending aorta are right and left coronary arteries which supply the heart muscle
38
myocardium
heart muscle
39
coronary sinus
largest venous vessel of heart, receives blood from myocardium and empties directly into the right ventricle
40
arch of aorta
contains three branches: first the brachiocephalic trunk, second is left carotid, third left subclavian
41
brachiocephalic trunk
major source for right side of head and right arm
42
left carotid artery
major blood supply to left side of head
43
left subclavian
major blood supply of left upper extremitiy
44
descending aorta
branch after first three trunk off of aorta, turning downward
45
lymphatic system
linked to cardiovascular system and immune sytem
46
lymphatic vessels
collect fluid and proteins that have leaked out of the blood capillaries and return them to the venous system as lymph
47
lymphatic organs
serve as staging areas for defense against infection from microbes and other foreign particles
48
lymphatic system
a partially open system, moves fluid from the periphery system to the subclavian veins, begins as capillaries in the tissues and ends as ducts emptying into the subclavian vein, is a one way system from periphery to venous system
49
function of lymphatic system
four functions 1) collect lymph from the bodies interstitial spaces, 2) filtering the lymph through lymph nodes, 3) detecting and fighting infections in the lymph nodes, and 4) returning the lymph to the blood stream
50
lymph collection
lymphatic system collects the excess fluid left by blood capillaries and returns it to venous system, this maintains a vital role in maintaining normal blood volume and blood pressure
51
interstitial spaces
tissue spaces, spaces between cells
52
lymph capillaries
have one way valves
53
lymph
interstitial fluid once inside lymph capillary
54
Lymph
originates as plasma
55
plasma
fluid portion of blood
56
lymph capillaries
initial lymph vessels, a vasy network through out most of the body. Not found in central nervous system, bones, epidermis, certain types of cartilage, and any avascular tissue
57
lymph vessels
as capillaries join together
58
lymph vessels
wider than veins, have thinner walls and more valves, contain lymph nodes
59
lymph node
kidney bean-shaped sac located at various places along lymph route
60
angion
name of space between valves in lymphatic system, contain smooth muscle in the walls resulting in sequential contractions that are activated by nerves that encircle angions. The squeezing of surrounding skeletal muscles assists in movement
61
sentinel node
first node in a group of lymph nodes
62
afferent lymph vessel
lymph enters nodes through
63
efferent lymph vessel
lymph exits nodes through
64
damaged lymph node
can not regenerate
65
lymphatic system
drainage, not circulation
66
regional nodes
3 main: cervical (neck), axillary (upper extremity), and inguinal (lower extremity), loated at junctions between extremities and trunk
67
watersheds
separate the areas of lymph drainage
68
hemorrhage
break in blood vessel allowing blood to leak out of closed system
69
cerebral hemorrhage
hemorrhage occurring within the confines of the skull
70
stroke
blood leakage, forced out of broken vessel
71
Epidural
bleeds occur in arteries
72
subdural
bleeds occur in veins
73
Congestive heart failure
a condition where the heart can't pump strongly enough to push an adequate supply of blood out to various parts of the body
74
heart murmur
an extra, or unusual heart sound in addition to the normal lub-dub sounds heard during heart contraction. A whooshing sound that is sometimes heard is usually turbulent backflow, could be normal, or shows that blood is flowing in the wrong direction
75
arteriosclerosis
hardening of arteries,a condition that slows blood flow, it is especially a problem in the legs and feet
76
atherosclerosis
a type of arteriosclerosis, is when fatty deposits in walls of the arteries cause narrowing, or blockage
77
ischemia
a deficient supply of blood to a body part that is due to an obstruction of the inflow of arterial blood, as by narrowing of arteries by spasm, or disease
78
angina
pain
79
occulsion
To close, obstruct, or prevent the passage
80
vericose veins
occur as the blood pools in the vbeins, enlarging it
81
phlebitis
an inflammation of a vein
82
thrombosis
formation of a blood clkot that may partially, or totally block a blood vessel(artery or vein)
83
thrombophlebitis
often shortened to phlebitis, when clot forms causing an inflammation of the vein
84
Embolism
a blood clot that becomes dislodged and travels to another part of the body until becoming wedged, causing an obstruction
85
anuerysm
abnormal outward bulging or ballooning that is oftn caused by a weakened area in the wall, may go undetected until ruptures.e
86
Thoracic outlet syndrome
a group oif disorders involving compression of the brachial plexus and/or the subclavian artery and vein within the space called the thoracic outlet. Various vascular, neurological, and muscular symptoms may result
87
lymphedema
abnormal drainage resulting in accumulation of excess lymph and swelling. Most commonly involves arms and legs. Treatment of lymphedema is often based on the patterns of lymph damage.
