    Heart Conditions

    • Ischemia: Insufficient blood supply to the heart.
    • Bradycardia: A slow heart rate of fewer than 60 beats per minute.
    • Aneurysm: Localized abnormal dilation of a blood vessel.

    Cardiovascular System Anatomy

    • Arteries: Vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
    • Atherosclerosis: Accumulation of fatty deposits in the arteries.
    • Ventricles: Lower chambers of the heart.
    • Cardiovascular system: Responsible for transporting blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body.
    • Veins: Vessels that carry blood back to the heart.
    • Atrium: Upper chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood from the body.
    • Arteries: Vessels that carry blood away from the heart.

    Cardiovascular Functions

    • White blood cells: Part of the immune system, protect against infection.
    • Sinoatrial (SA) node: The heart's natural pacemaker, initiates heartbeats.

    Cardiovascular Conditions

    • Aneurysm: Localized abnormal dilation of a blood vessel
    • Bradycardia: Slow heart rate, often associated with low blood pressure.
    • Myocardium: The thick middle layer of the heart wall composed of cardiac muscle.
    • Edema: Swelling of body tissues caused by the presence of excess fluid.
    • Echocardiogram: Diagnostic tool that uses ultrasound to visualize internal cardiac structures.
