Unit 8 - B & C - Homeostatic Imbalances Notes

I can describe several homeostatic imbalances of the cardiovascular system, including a heart attack.

Abnormal or unusual heart sounds are called ________________________________.

Bacterial infection of the thin, glistening sheet of endothelium that lines the heart chambers is known as ________________________________.

Situations in which the myocardium is deprived of oxygen often result in crushing chest pain called ________________________________.

Death of oxygen-deprived heart cells may result in ________________________________.

Lack of an adequate blood supply to the heart muscle may lead to ________________________________.

________________________________ is rapid heart rate (over 100 beats per minute).

________________________________ is a heart rate that is substantially slower than normal (less than 60 beats per minute)

When pumping efficiency of the heart is deperessed so that circulation is inadequate to meet tissue needs ____________________________ _____________________________ occurs
