The endocardium is the inner layer of the heart. It consists of epithelial tissue and
connective tissue.
Function: Lines the inner cavities of the heart, covers heart valves and is continuous
Endocardium with the inner lining of blood vessels.
Purkinje fibers are located in the endocardium. They participate in the contraction of
the heart muscle.
The blood volume ejected outside the ventricle after each contraction. ~ The
Stroke Volume (Preload)
volume of the blood returning to the heart. ~ The force of the myocardium

The T Wave. ~ The first wave produced after the QRS Complex. Has the following
Ventricular Repolarization characteristics: The deflection produced by the ventricular repolarization. It is
slighty asymmetric. No more than 5 mm in height.
A localized collection of blood outside the blood vessels, usually in liquid form
Hematoma within the tissue. An ecchymosis, commonly called a bruise, is a hematoma of the
skin larger than 10mm.

A method of differentiating bacterial species into two large groups (gram-positive
and gram-negative). Gram staining differentiates bacteria by the chemical and
physical properties of their cell walls by detecting peptidoglycan, which is present in

Axillary Under the arm (armpit)
A laboratory diagnostic test to find a bacterial or fungal infection in the throat.
Sampling is performed by throat swab, and the sample is put in a special cup
Throat culture (culture) that allows infections to grow. If an infection grows, the culture is positive.
The type of infection is found using a microscope, chemical tests, or both. If no
infection grows, the culture is negative.

difficult or impossible, as well as can lead to a misdiagnosis.
Located between the atria and ventricles. AV cusped valves characteristics are:
AV (atriventricular) Valves They have tough fibrous rings, long and strong leaflets (cuspids), They are
accessory
organs (like papillary muscles and chordae tendinae)
Standard Precautions are the minimum infection prevention practices that apply to all
patient care, regardless of suspected or confirmed infection status of the patient, in
any setting where healthcare is delivered. Standard Precautions include: 1) hand
Standard Precautions hygiene, 2) use of personal protective equipment (e.g., gloves, gowns, masks), 3) safe
injection practices, 4) safe handling of potentially contaminated equipment or
surfaces in the patient environment, and 5) respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette.
Generally has an inhibitory effect via the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine which may
cause the following to happen:
*Slows down pacemaker and HR
Parasympathetic (Vagus Nerve)
*Slows the conduction of electricity in AV node
*Decreases the strength of atrial and ventricular contraction.
This consists of links, each of which is necessary for the infectious disease to
spread. Infection control is based on the fact that the transmission of infectious
diseases will be prevented or stopped when any level in the chain is broken or
Infection Control/ Chain of Infection interrupted.

Involves procedures and practices that reduce the number and transfer of
Medical Asepsis pathogens. For example, performing hand hygiene and wearing gloves, nothing on
floor, clean from least soiled to most soiled.
