measurement of blood pressure while the ventricles are contracting

• diastolic pressure

• systolic pressure

• ventricular pressure

• top pressure

measurement between heartbeats

• systolic pressure

• bottom pressure

• heart beat pressure

• diastolic pressure

the movement of blood from the heart to the lungs and back again

• systemic circulation

• lung circulation

• pulmonary circulation

• cycle circulation

the movement of blood from the heart to all parts/systems of the body

• systemic circulation

• body circulation

• pulmonary circulation

• part circulation

the upper chambers of the heart

• ventricles

• pockets

• upper ventricles

• atria

what is the job of the atria?

• collect blood

• receive bood from the veins of the body

• receive blood from the arteries of the body

• distribute blood to the body

the lower chambers of the heart

• lower pocket

• ventricles

• atria

• bottom atria

what is the job of the ventricles?

• make blood

• receive blood from the veins

• receive blood from the atria & pump the blood into systemic circulation

• receive blood from the arteries

the innermost layer of the heart wall

• endocardium

• epicardium

• myocardium

• pericardium

fibroserous sac enclosing the heart

• endocardium

• epicardium

• myocardium

• pericardium
