Disorders of the Cardiovascular System

coronary heart disease – a disease of the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle;

cerebrovascular disease – a disease of the blood vessels supplying the brain;

peripheral arterial disease – a disease of blood vessels supplying the arms and legs;

rheumatic heart disease – damage to the heart muscle and heart valves from rheumatic fever, caused by streptococcal bacteria;

congenital heart disease – birth defects that affect the normal development and functioning of the heart caused by malformations of the heart structure from birth; and

deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism – blood clots in the leg veins, which can dislodge and move to the heart and lungs

myocardium is the middle layer that is composed of contractile tissues

Endocardium is the innermost layer and composes the valves, inner lining of the chambers, and contains vessels and nerves

Epicardium is the outer layer that contains blood vessels

The upper chambers receive incoming blood. The lower chambers, the more muscular right and left ventricles, pump blood out of the heart.

Tricuspid valve. Located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.

Pulmonary valve. Located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.

Mitral valve. Located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.

Aortic valve.

Circulates OXYGEN and removes Carbon Dioxide.

Provides cells with NUTRIENTS.

Removes the waste products of metabolism to the excretory organs for disposal.

Protects the body against disease and infection.

Clotting stops bleeding after injury.

Red blood cell - carry oxygen from the lungs and deliver it throughout our body

white blood cells - Part of our bodies immune system

Plasma -The clear, yellowish, fluid part of the blood that carries the blood cells

Platelets -A tiny, disc-shaped piece of cell that is found in the blood and spleen

Capillaries - Transport blood towards the heart

Veins - Vessels that run between arteries and veins

Arteries - Transport blood away from the heart

a P wave, a QRS, and a T wave

Oxygenated blood from the body goes into the superior and inferior vena cava, then to the right atrium, to the tricuspid valve, into the right ventricle, to the pulmonary truck to the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery, into the lungs, then into the pulmonary veins, left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve to the aorta then back to the rest of the body

ABO -has A antigens on the red blood cells, has B antigens with anti-A antibodies in the plasma.O – has no antigens

RH - Blood group that indicates wheather the blood of 2 different people are compatible when mixed

Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and veins carry blood towards the heart
