Vascular review

2. Outer layer of the heart wall
7. angle Angle between the manubrium and the body of the sternum; also known as the angle of Louis
8. valves Valves located between the atria and ventricles
11. line Vertical line from the midpoint of the clavicle
12. A relatively prolonged series of auditory vibrations of varying intensity, frequency, quality, configuration, and duration
13. margin Lower boundary of the thorax, formed by the cartilages of the 7th through 10th ribs and the ends of the 11th and 12th cartilages
14. notch Superior margin of the manubrium sterni; lies opposite the lower border of the body of the second thoracic vertebra
17. Describes the electrical activity just before the relaxation phase of cardiac muscle activity
18. Lowest point of the sternum
19. Sac surrounding the heart, reflection off the great arteries

1. line Runs vertically from a point midway between the anterior and posterior axillary folds
2. Inner layer of the heart wall
3. Thick contractile middle layer of the heart
4. valves Valves located in the aortic or pulmonic artery
5. Method of recording the electrical activity generated by the heart muscle
6. The predominant frequency band of the murmur, which varies from high to low as determined by auscultation
9. line Lies in the median plane over the sternum
10. Describes the electrical activity that triggers contraction of the heart muscle
15. A grading scale of 1 to 6 describes this aspect of systolic and diastolic murmurs
16. joint Junction between the xiphoid and sternum
