Angina:

• chest pain or discomfort; is characterized by a sensation of squeezing,

  pressure, heaviness, or tightness in the center of the chest

• abnormal heart rhythm

•  a major blood vessel that moves blood away from the heart out to the body

  tissues

• a condition in which the arteries of the heart are

  narrowed, affecting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to heart muscle

Arrhythmia:

•  a major blood vessel that moves blood away from the heart out to the body

  tissues

• abnormal heart rhythm

•  chest pain or discomfort; is characterized by a sensation of squeezing,

  pressure, heaviness, or tightness in the center of the chest

• the fluid and its suspended formed elements that are circulated through the

  heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins

Arteries:

•  microscopic blood vessel that connects arterioles with venules

  Cardiovascular: related to the heart and blood vessels

•  vessels that convey blood; includes arteries, arterioles, capillaries,

  venules, and veins

• a major blood vessel that moves blood away from the heart out to the body

  tissues

•  a cell that makes antibodies to mark and destroy invading pathogens

Blood:

• the fluid and its suspended formed elements that are circulated through the

  heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins

• First option

Blood types:

•  microscopic blood vessel that connects arterioles with venules

•  inherited from one’s parents and determined by the presence or

  absence of an antigen found on the surface of the red blood cell

• veins that have become abnormally dilated, due to interference with

  venous drainage or weakness of their walls

•  blood vessel that moves blood from body tissues toward the heart

Capillaries:

• a red blood cell that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from

  body tissues

•  the innermost layer that lines the four chambers (two atria and two

  ventricles) and covers the valves of the heart

• microscopic blood vessel that connects arterioles with venules

  Cardiovascular: related to the heart and blood vessels

•  flaps of tissue located between the heart chambers which allow the

  blood to flow only in one direction

Cardiovascular:

•  the innermost layer that lines the four chambers (two atria and two

  ventricles) and covers the valves of the heart

• a condition in which the arteries of the heart are

  narrowed, affecting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to heart muscle

  Electrical conduction: muscle contractions occurring due to electrical conduction

• complete or partial loss of blood flow to brain

  tissue caused by blood vessel spasms, intracranial bleeding, and/or obstruction of the

  blood vessels in the brain

• related to the heart and blood vessels

Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA):

• complete or partial loss of blood flow to brain

  tissue caused by blood vessel spasms, intracranial bleeding, and/or obstruction of the

  blood vessels in the brain

•  disease resulting from reduced blood flow from the

  heart; characterized by weakness, breathlessness, abdominal discomfort, and edema

  in the lower extremities.

• : a condition in which the arteries of the heart are

  narrowed, affecting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to heart muscle

  Electrical conduction: muscle contractions occurring due to electrical conduction

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD):

• disease resulting from reduced blood flow from the

  heart; characterized by weakness, breathlessness, abdominal discomfort, and edema

  in the lower extremities.

• a condition in which the arteries of the heart are

  narrowed, affecting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to heart muscle

  tissue caused by blood vessel spasms, intracranial bleeding, and/or obstruction of the

  blood vessels in the brain
