Valves that prevent backflow of blood in veins, aiding venous return.

The mechanism by which muscle contractions help blood return to the heart.

Swollen, twisted veins caused by pooling blood due to valve failure.

The force exerted on blood vessel walls by circulating blood.

Condition defined by abnormally high blood pressure, often without symptoms.

The increase of blood supply to the heart during exercise due to factors like heart rate and vasodilation.

The amount of oxygen the heart muscle uses, which relates to how hard it works.

A calculation of myocardial oxygen consumption, expressed as HR multiplied by SBP.

The natural pacemaker of the heart that initiates its rhythm and controls heart rate.

The force of blood against artery walls; affected by various factors.

The inherent rate at which the heart beats, typically about 100 beats per minute without external influence.

Resistance in the blood vessels that affects blood flow and pressure.

Width of blood vessels; narrower vessels increase resistance to flow.

Thickness of blood; higher viscosity increases resistance.

Total amount of blood in circulation; affects blood pressure and flow.

The volume of blood the heart pumps per minute; affects blood pressure.

Describes how pressure, resistance, and flow are related in a fluid system.

Includes peripheral resistance, vessel elasticity, blood volume, cardiac output.

Central Nervous System; consists of the brain and spinal cord.

Peripheral Nervous System; includes all neural elements outside the CNS.

Neural pathways that carry signals to the CNS.

Neural pathways that carry signals away from the CNS.

Part of PNS controlling involuntary functions; includes sympathetic and parasympathetic.

The muscular middle layer of the heart responsible for contraction.

Phase of the cardiac cycle when ventricles relax and fill with blood.

Phase of the cardiac cycle when ventricles contract to pump blood out.

Volume of blood left in the ventricles after contraction.

The only artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart.

Can lead to heart attack, stroke, dementia, and more.

Factors such as age, sex, and family history that increase risk.

Lifestyle choices like diet, exercise, and stress that can be managed.

Pressure during heart contractions, indicating heart workload.

Pressure when the heart relaxes, indicating blood flow resistance.

Average pressure during the cardiac cycle, indicating blood circulation.

A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy aiming to lower BP.

BP = Cardiac Output x Total Peripheral Resistance.

The change in pressure from high to low that causes blood to flow.

Narrowing of arteries due to plaque buildup, leading to increased blood pressure.

Hardening of arteries, decreasing elasticity and ability to absorb pressure.

The system of blood flow to the heart muscle itself.

Also known as a heart attack, caused by a blood clot in coronary arteries.

The difference in oxygen content between arterial and venous blood, indicating muscle oxygen utilization.

The volume of blood the heart pumps in a minute, often denoted as Q.

Arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, branching from the aorta.
