1. Lymphatic Vessels Allow of clear, watery fluid from tissue
spaces into circulation
2. Lymph Nodes Small, oval cluster of lymphatic tissue that
filter and engulf pathogens, preventing po-
tentially harmful substances from entering
the circulation.
3. Where is the greatest supply of lymph The head and neck
nodes in the body?
4. Heart Four-chambered muscular organ in the
pericardium located inside the chest cavity.
5. What are the unexpected findings of the Tenderness, enlarged; firm.
lymph nodes?
6. Atria Two thin-walled atria that receive blood into
the heart from the body (deoxygenated)
and the lungs (oxygenated).
7. Ventricles Two thick-walled ventricles pump blood out
of the heart to the body and lungs.
8. Valves of the heart Tricuspid valve, pulmonary semilunar valve,
bicuspid or mitral valve, aortic semilunar
valve
9. The base of the heart The top broadest side of the heart houses
the atria and faces upward, located at the
3rd right and left intercostal spaces
10. The apex of the heart

The bottom tip of the heart, points down
toward the 5th left intercostal space. The
area that has the strongest force of blood
flow, is the point of maximum impulse
(PMI), efficient heartbeat keeps blood flow-
ing through the vascular system.
11. What type of blood flows through the ve- Deoxygenated Blood
nous system into the right side of the
heart and into the pulmonary circulation?
12. Where does external gas exchange occur? At the alveolar-capillary membrane.
13. Where does newly oxygenated blood flow From the lungs into the left atria of the heart.
into the heart from?
14. Cardiac Cycle The sequence of mechanical events that oc-
curs during a single heart beat.
15. Firing of the Sinoatrial (SA) Node Pacemaker, located in the right atrium. Trig-
gers each heart beat
16. Firing of the Atrioventricular (AV) Node Once the SA node is triggered, there is a
slight delay to the AV. Impulses pass into the
left and right bundles of His and into the
Purkinje fibers to the ventricles.
17. What is the spontaneous rhythm of the Automaticity
heart called?
18. What happens if the SA node fails to fire? d) The AV node takes over, which triggers a
slower heartbeat
a) The heart stops beating

b) The AV node takes over which causes a
quicker heartbeat
c) The Pt is put on a heart machine
d) The AV node takes over which causes a
slower heartbeat
19. True or False False
If both the SA and AV nodes fail, the Pt The conduction fibers in the ventricles
goes into cardiac arrest. can initiate impulses. Ventricular conduction
generates a very slow rate, usually less than
40 bpm.
20. What is this period called when the heart Systole
contracts during a BP?
21. When the heart relaxes during a BP, what Diastole
is this period called?
22. True or False True
The coronary arteries are the only arteries
in the body that fill during diastole.
23. Oxygenation The process of delivering oxygen to the
blood by diffusion from the alveoli following
inhalation into the lungs.
24. What regulates cardiovascular function Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
through its influence on the cardiac rate,
muscle contractility, and vascular tone?
25. Sympathetic fibers

Stimulate the heart to beat faster and con-
tract more strongly
26. Parasympathetic fibers Innervate the heart through the vagus
nerve, which results in a slower heart rate,
but does not influence myocardial contrac-
tility.
27. IS-1 Sound (Aortic) At the second ICS, it is located at the
Apex/right side of the sternum. Closure of
the mitral and tricuspid valves signals the
beginning of ventricular systole (contrac-
tion). LUB sound.
28. IS-2 Sound (Pulmonic) It is located on the left side of the
sternum at the second ICS. Closure of the
aortic and pulmonic valves signals the be-
ginning of ventricular diastole (relaxation).
DUB sound.
29. IS-3 Sound (Erb's Point) Located in the third ICS. (Ven-
tricular Gallop) indicates rapid ventricular
filling and can be an expected finding in
children and young adults.
30. IS-4 Sound (Tricuspid) Located left of the sternum at the
fourth ICS. Reflects a strong atrial contrac-
tion and can be an expected finding in older
and athletic adults and children.
31. IS-5 Sound (Apical/Mitral) Located left midclavicular
line at the fifth ICS.
