Bone
Angiogram
Put contrast medium into blood stream to see under light
Lumen
The space in the middle of a vein or artery
Cardiovascular
Cardio-vascular
"heart" "Blood Vessels"
Arteries
deliver blood from the heart to the organs
Veins
deliver blood back to the heart
Pulmonary Artery
Carries oxygen poor blood to the lungs.
Edema
Fluid accumulation
Pulmonary
Lungs
Peripheral
Hands and feet
Ascite
Fluid accumulation in the abdomen
Systemic
O2 rich blood goes to organs while O2 depleted blood returns to the heart.
Inferior Vena Cava
"Lower" "Vein" "Cavity"
Large vein which returns blood back to the heart from the lower limbs
Stenosis
Narrowing of blood vessel which reduces flow.
Ventricle
Lower portion of the heart which pumps the blood.
Atrium
Upper portion of the heart which primes the ventricle

Sinoatrial none
Sino - atrial node
"Sinus" "atrium"
Sinus - pocket structure
Initiates the heart beat as it depolarizes at a fast rate.
Atrial Ventricular Node
Transmits depolarization from atrium to ventricle with a time delay so the "atrium kick" can complete.

hypoxia
"Low" "Oxygen"
Bolus Injection
An injection of a small finite amount.
Marfans
Elastin defect
Scurvy
