HCB 102- CARDIOVASCULAR Study
Guide
Condition in which blood supply to the heart in reduced, and a portion of the heart is not receiving
enough O2?ANSAngina Pectoris
AsystoleANSZero electrical impulses in the heart (AKA "Flatline")
Ventricular FibrillationANSDisorganized electrical impulses in the heart, preventing the heart muscles
to contract normally
What does CPR stand for?ANSCardioPulmonary Resuscitation
Condition in which a normal heartbeat and circulation of blood have completely stoppedANSCardiac
Arrest
ThrombusANSBlood clot
What happens when fluid output exceeds fluid intake?ANSDehydration
Swelling resulting in from a build up of fluid in the body tissueANSEdema
What is shock also known as?ANSHypo-perfusion
What is also referred to as a "heart attack"?ANSMyocardial Infarction (MI)
What are Palpitations?ANSIrregular/Rapid heart rate causing a fluttering feeling in the chest
What is the average blood volume in adult Males and Females?ANSMales: 5-6 Liters
Females: 4-5 Liters
3 general functions of blood?ANS-Transport
, -Regulate
-Protect
Transport (blood)ANSO2-> the body
CO2-> the lungs
Nutrients and hormones
Regulate (blood)ANSpH levels
Body Temperature
Protect (blood)ANSBlood clotting
WBC's against disease
PlasmaANSCarries proteins crucial to clotting
PlateletsANSForms clots; most rapid response to bleeding
What Artery supplies the Myocardium?ANSCoronary Artery
Largest artery In the body is...ANSAorta
What are the 2 major veins that return blood to the Right Atrium?ANSSuperior Vena Cava
Inferior Vena Cava
What is the vein that offers clues to the functionality of the right side of the heart?ANSJugular Vein
(JVD)
Which vein is the common site for IV catheter insertion in the anticubital space?ANSMedian Basilic
What factors help determine pressure within a blood vessel?ANSThe vessel's diameter
