|
explain the flow of deoxygenated blood through the heart to be oxygenated
|
Deoxygenated blood flows through the vena cava, into the right atrium. From the right atrium it goes through the tricuspid valve. From the tricuspid valve it flows into the right ventricle, which in turn puts it through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery. From the pulmonary artery blood flows through vessels to the pulmonary capillaries of the alveoli, where the oxygen exchange happens. From the pulmonary capillaries oxygenated blood travel through vessels that merge into becoming the pulmonary veins that bring the blood into the left atrium. From the left atrium the blood goes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. From there the blood travels through the aortic valve to the aorta, and from the aorta into the rest of the body.
|
|

|
|
what causes the heart muscle to contract
|
depolarization of the cells, which in turn generates an electrical current
|
|
Describe the place of the base and the apex of the heart
|
The base is the top of the heart, is the bottom of the heart closest to the left ventricle. in an animal, the base is cranial and the apex is caudal
|
|
describe the fastest way the heart contracts
|
The impulse generated by the SA node travels quickly down fast conducting muscle fibers to the AV node. There is a slight delay in the AV node that permits the atria to complete their systolic contraction before the ventricular systole begins. After the delay at the AV node, the electrical impulses resume through specialized fibers in the ventricles called the bundle of His and the purkinje fibers. The bundle of His fibers run down the interventricular septum to the bottom of the left and right ventricles, and the purkinje fibers carry the impulses from the bundle of his fibers up to the ventricular myocardium
|
|
describe the cardiac cycle
|
A)The SA node depolarizes, both atria and ventricles relax
B) atria contract (atrial systole), opening up the tricuspid and mitral valves. C) ventricles contract as atrias relax with tricuspid and mitral valves closed, opening the artery and aorta valves. D) beginning diastole, artery and aorta valves closed, tricuspid and mitral valves open, relaxing ventricles pull blood in from relaxed atria. |
|
what is the major distinction between a fetus and a newborn
|

|
|
ductus venosus
|
the liver bypass of a fetus
|
|
foramen ovale
|
the bypass between the left and right atria in a fetus

describe the blood circulation in the fetus
|
The oxygenated blood from the placenta flows into the fetus through the umbilical vein. The blood from the umbilical vein flow through the liver and the ductus venosus into the caudal vena cava where it mixes with deoxygenated blood from the fetal systemic circulation. From the vena cava the blood flows into the right atrium which goes through the foramen ovale between the right and left atria, directly into the left atrium. The blood then goes into the pulmonary artery where blood flow May go into the lungs, or through the ductus arteriosus, directly into the aorta. From the aorta blood flow through the fetal systemic circulation where it supplies oxygen and collects waste products from the tissues and then back to the placenta to be reoxygenated
