Cardiovascular System Flashcards
The cardiovascular system shows up constantly in nursing coursework and on the TEAS, from basic heart anatomy to blood pressure and circulation. Getting comfortable with terms like cardiac output, stroke volume, and the heart's electrical conduction system early makes cardiac assessment and medication content much easier later.
This deck covers heart structure and chambers, valves, blood vessels, the heart's electrical system, and how blood moves through systemic and pulmonary circulation. Each card includes a clinical note connecting the term to real patient assessment, not just the textbook definition.
Who this deck is for
Students in Anatomy & Physiology or nursing fundamentals courses who need to understand how the heart and blood vessels work before moving into cardiac assessment and pharmacology.
