Cardiovascular System Vocabulary and Concepts Quiz

Heart = Oxygenated Blood Capillaries = Deoxygenated Blood Arteries = Oxygenated Blood Veins = Deoxygenated Blood

Left Atrium = Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs Right Ventricle = Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs Left Ventricle = Pumps oxygenated blood to the body Right Atrium = Receives deoxygenated blood from the body

Mitral Valve = Located between the left atrium and left ventricle Tricuspid Valve = Located between the right atrium and right ventricle Aortic Valve = Located between the left ventricle and aorta Pulmonary Valve = Located between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery

<p>Pulmonary Circulation = Carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation Systemic Circulation = Delivers oxygenated blood to body tissues and organs Oxygenated Blood = Blood rich in oxygen, ready for distribution to body tissues Deoxygenated Blood = Blood low in oxygen, returning to the heart for reoxygenation</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Atherosclerosis = Build-up of plaque in arteries, leading to reduced blood flow Myocardial Infarction = Heart attack due to blocked blood flow to the heart muscle Prolapsed Valves = Valves of the heart do not close properly, causing backflow of blood Arrhythmia = Irregular heartbeat pattern, affecting heart's ability to pump effectively High Blood Pressure = Elevated force of blood against artery walls, increasing heart workload</p> Signup and view all the answers
