Central Medulla
Atrial Systole
I am the name given to the pattern of
contraction and relaxation of the heart
during one complete heartbeat
Elephantiasis
I am the stage that follows atrial systole
where the ventricles contract and the AV
valves close. The SL valves open and
blood is pushed from the heart
QRS Wave
I am the area that a lymph nodule
surrounds
Ventricular Tachycardia
I am the wave that is produced when the
ventricles recover after contracting
Systole
I am what is fitted to a sufferer of
abnormal heart rhythms
‘Lubb Dupp’
I am the name given to the relaxation of
the heart
Right Atrium Wall close to the superior
Vena Cava
I am the the valves that close to cause the
first sound of the heart beat
ECG- Electrocardiogram
I am the name given to the node located
near the base of the atria that receives the
electrical impulse form the atria
contracting
AV Valves
I am the three distinct waves that make
up the normal ECG pattern
Diastole
I am the valves that close to cause the
second sound of the heartbeat
Heart Murmurs
I am the name given to the atria
contracting simultaneously and sending
blood down into ventricles through the
open AV valves
SAN (Sino-Atrial Node)
I am the name given to the pacemaker
I am the name of the place where the
SAN is located and from where it sends
out a spontaneous electrical impulse to
make the heart beat at a certain rate
Cardiac Cycle
I am the name given to the characteristic
sounds made when the heart valves close
during a heartbeat
I am the name given to the contraction of
the heart
I am the wave responsible for the SAN
spreading an electrical impulse over the
atria
Ventricular Systole
P, QRS and T waves
Ventricular Fibrillation
Atrio-Ventricular Node (AVN)
I am the type of ECG produced when the
P waves are absent and the QRS waves
are wider than normal
I am the name given to the pattern of
electrical impulses produced by the heart
that can be displayed on an oscilloscope
screen
P Wave
SL Valves
I am the wave that shows the ventricles
contracting as a result of receiving an
electrical impulse
I am the name given to abnormal heart
sounds produced by abnormal patterns of
cardiac blood flow causing valves to not
close or open properly
Sphygmomanometer
T Wave
I am considered a normal blood pressure
I am the name of the abnormal ECG that
is produced when there is four P waves
produced for every one QRS wave
Atrial Flutter
I am the type of irregular ECG pattern
produced that is lethal
Malnutrition
Ventricles have to work harder, more
prone to atherosclerosis, stroke risk
I am some of the areas where lymph
nodes occur
120mmHg Systolic over 80mmHg
Diastolic
I am the condition that is caused by the
filarial worm invading the lymphatic
system and causing blockage of vessels in
the legs causing fluid build up
Oedaema
I am the name given to the resistance
shown by the blood flowing against the
walls of the blood vessels
Artificial Pacemaker
I am the cause of oedema where tissue
fluid builds up in the abdomen
Peripheral Resistance
I am the instrument used to measure
blood pressure
Neck, Armpit and Groin
I am the reasons why prolonged high
blood pressure is dangerous
I am the condition caused by tissue fluid
building up in the spaces between the
cells and the blood capillaries
