Cardiovascular System 1.0

By using this app, you can learn:

• Delineate the structure and function of the heart and vascular system.
• List the major components of the human heart, including the four chambers and four valves.
• Distinguish the structure and functions of arteries, veins, and capillaries.
• Examine how the sequential pattern of contraction and relaxation in the heart results in a normal pattern of blood flow.
• Systematize the path of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood flow between the heart and lungs.
• Define “cardiac cycle” and understand the mechanism of blood circulation in the heart.
• Define “pacemaker of the heart” and discuss how the SA and AV nodes control the contractions of the heart muscle.
• Describe the way the electrocardiogram (ECG) is recorded, the waves of the ECG, and the relationship of the ECG to the electrical axis of the heart.
• Name the common cardiac arrhythmias and describe the processes that produce them.
• Understand the basis of disease states where components of blood and vasculature are abnormal or dysregulated.
• Explore the different diagnostic resources available for treating cardiovascular diseases.
