2. Shape of the Heart: ANS triangular organ, closed-fist like

3. Apex: ANS blunt end of the heart, lower edge of heart that lies on
the diaphragm

4. Thoracic Cavity: ANS position of the heart

5. Apical heart rate: ANS heart sound heard at the apex of the heart
between the 5th and 6th ribs

6. cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr): ANS rhythmic
compression combined with artificial respiration which can be life

7. atria: ANS the two upper chambers of the heart- the receiving
areas that pool incom- ing blood.

8. ventricles: ANS the two lower chambers of the heart, and they
pump blood out to the lungs and body.

18.pericarditis: ANS inflammation of the pericardium

19.pericardial effusion: ANS escape of fluid into the pericardial sac
leading to cardiac tamponade

20.cardiac tamponade: ANS acute compression of the heart caused
by fluid accumu- lation in the pericardial cavity

21.systole: ANS contraction of the heart

22.diastole: ANS relaxation of the heart
