(a)  

the fluid and its suspended elements that are circulated through the heart, arteries, capillaries, venues, and veins

(a)  

vessels that convey blood; includes arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venues, and veins

(a)  

microscopic blood vessels that connect arterioles with venues

(a)  

abnormal heart rhythm

(a)  

related to the heart and blood vessels

(a)  

blood disorder characterized by reduction in red blood cells or hemoglobin

(a)  

major blood vessels that move blood away from the heart and out to the body tissues

(a)  

inherited from one's parents and determined by the presence or absence of an antigen found on the surface of the red blood cell

(a)  

a distended and weak area in the wall of an artery

(a)  

complete or partial loss of blood flow to brain tissue caused by blood vessel spasms, intercranial bleeding, and/or obstruction of the blood vessels in the brain

(a)  

chest pain or discomfort; characterized by sensation of squeezing, pressure, heaviness, or tightness in the center of the chest

(a)  

disease resulting from reduced blood flow from the heart; characterized by weakness, breathlessness, abdominal comfort, and edema in the lower extremities

(a)  

the innermost layer that lines the four chambers and covers the valves of the heart

(a)  

the four sections (two upper atria and two lower ventricles) through which blood flows through the heart

(a)  

flaps of tissue located between heart chambers; allow the blood to flow in only one direction

(a)  

a white blood cell; involved in fighting infection

(a)  

a red blood cell; transports O2 and CO2 to and from body tissues

(a)  

a condition of high blood pressure

(a)  

a condition of low blood pressure

(a)  

a condition in which arteries of the heart are narrowed, affecting the supply of O2 and nutrients to the heart muscle

(a)  

muscle contractions occurring due to electrical conduction

(a)  

abnormal sound heard during heart auscultation (ex: a whooshing sound from a valve not closing completely)

(a)  

a blood disorder caused by changes in a gene on the X chromosome; characterized by the inability of blood to clot

(a)  

a mass (usually a blood clot) that travels through the blood and can become lodged in a blood vessel, obstructing blood flow

(a)  

a yellowish liquid containing mostly water, which carries nutrients, hormones, and wastes for other body systems

(a)  

a cell that makes antibodies to mark and destroy invading pathogens

(a)  

a blood clot that forms within a blood vessel and does not travel through the blood

(a)  

a cell fragment that helps form blood clots to repair injured blood vessels

(a)  

a layer of cardiac muscle that makes up the middle of the heart

(a)  

a fibrous sac that encloses the heart

(a)  

blood vessel that moves blood from body tissues toward the heart

(a)  

tissue death in the heart muscle, resulting from an occluded (obstructed) coronary artery; heart attack

(a)  

blockage of arteries, usually in the legs

(a)  

blood disorder where the shape of the red blood cell is a sickle shape, causing the red blood cells to clump together

(a)  

veins that have become abnormally dilated due to interference with venous drainage or weakness of their walls

(a)  

antigen found in red blood cells

(a)  

locations to measure the # of times the heart beats per minute
