EKG TERMINOLOGY

definition of alveoli

• cells that allow the exchange of gases between blood and air.

• main artery of the body, 3cm in diameter

• the valve between the left ventricle and aorta.

• the (AV NODE), modified cardiac muscle between right atrium, right ventricle; 2nd part of the conduction system.

definition of aorta

• cells that allow the exchange of gases between blood and air.

• the valve between the left ventricle and aorta.

• main artery of the body, 3cm in diameter.

• pointed tip of the heart.

definition of aortic valve

• the valve between the left ventricle and aorta.

• pointed tip of the heart

• upper receiving chambers of the heart right and left side

• main artery of the body, 3cm in diameter.

definition of apex.

• pointed tip of the heart

• the valve between the left ventricle and aorta

• upper receiving chambers of the heart right and left side

• the AV node modified cardiac muscle between right atrium, right ventricle: 2nd part of the conduction system

definition of atria(ium)

• upper receiving chambers of the heart right and left side

• thin strands of connective tissue

• main artery of the body, 3cm in diameter

• passages in the airway that lead air directly into lungs

definition of atrioventricular node.

• the (AV node) modified cardiac muscle between right atrium, right ventricle; 2nd part of the Conduction System

• pointed tip of the heart

• main artery of the body, 3cm in diameter.

• upper receiving chambers of the heart right and left side.

definition of bronchi

• passages in the airway that lead air directly into lungs

• smallest subdivision of the bronchi

• bundle of fibers that was divided into two branches on either side of the heart’s septum along the ventricles; part of the conduction system

• the bundle of fibers that arise from the AV node and lie on top of the septum; part of the Conduction system

definition of bronchioles

• smallest subdivision of the bronchi

• bundle of fibers that was divided into two branches on either side of the heart’s septum along the ventricles; part of the Conduction system

• passages in the airway that lead air directly into lungs

• pointed tip of the heart

definition of bundle branches

• bundle of fibers that arise from the AV node and lie on top of the septum; part of the Conduction System

• bundle of fibers that was divided into two branches on either side of the heart’s septum along the ventricles: part of the conduction system

• pointed tip of the heart

• main artery of the body, 3cm in diameter

definition of bundle of HIS

• the bundle of fibers that arise from the AV node and lie on top of the septum; part of the Conduction system

• smallest subdivision of the bronchi

• passages in the airway that lead air directly to the lungs

• the valve between the left ventricle and aorta
