Description

The cardiovascular system is composed of the heart and all blood vessels and blood. Blood vessels include: artery( gives us oxygen), veins, and capillary. We Inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Vena cava vein (return blood from the heart to the body) –found on the right side of the heart – Chamber # 1 right atrium Chamber # 2 right ventricle Chamber # 2 left atrium Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Capillaries exchange nutrients/waste. Veins carry blood to heart. Blood flows from chamber to chamber

Angiectomy removal of a vessel Vasculitis inflammation of a vessel Vasography charting of the veins Aortostenosis narrowing of the large artery Arteriosclerosis harden artery Asteriolitis inflammation of the arterioles ( small arteries) Atriomegaly chambers of the heart (enlarge atrium) Atheroma tumor of a fatty plaque Cardiovascular heart Coronary heart Embolectomy removal of a plug found in a vessel Hemangioma tumor in the blood vessel Phlebotomy taking out blood Venous Senotic narrowing of an artery Aortostenosis narrowing of an artery

Ventricular pertaining to a ventricle Bradycardia slow heart condition/ rate Valvotomy removal of a valve Valuloplasty procedure of a valve Varicose veins enlarged, twisted veins Aneurysm localized abnormal dilation of a vessel Angina mild to severe suffocating chest pain caused by a blood flow to the heart. Infarction localized tissue death due to lack of blood supply Palpitation sensation of an irregular heartbeat: skipped beat ( heart murmur) Syncope partial or complete loss of consciousness: also called fainting. Defibrillation start heart back up Vasodilators found in medicine Arteriorrhexis EKGelectrocardiography Sphygmomanometer instrument that measures blood pressure...
