Heart enclosed in fibrous protective sac called ________________.
Heart muscle referred to as________ ; |
Pericardium,myocardium,
|
|
The inner surface of myocardium lined with smooth epithelial tissue called ________________ (allows blood to pass chamber without damage to RBC).
|
Endocardium
|
|
What does the right atrium do?
|
receives blood from the systemic circulation. Blood arrives through inferior and superior vena cava
|
|
What does the right ventricle do?
|
Receives blood from right atrium through tricuspid valve. Pumps blood through semi-lunar valve to lungs
|
|
What does the left atrium do?
|
Receives oxygenated blood through 4 openings (pulmonary veins) from lungs
|
|
What does the left ventricle do?
|
Receives blood from left atrium through biscupid (mitral) valve. Pushes blood to body through aortic valve.
|
|
What does the right coronary artery do?
|
supplies right ____atrium___, right ventricle, _inferior___ wall of left ventricle, AV node, bundle of His & SA node (60% of the time)
|
|
What does the left coronary artery branch into?
|
circumflex branch & LAD (left anterior descending) - supplies left __Ventricle____, interventricular septum, and right ventricle.
|
|
Circulation to heart occurs during diastole or systole?
|
diastole
|
|
Heart well suited for aerobic?
|
Metabolism
|
|
the principle source of energy production is oxidation of what?
|
free fatty acids
|
|
At rest, heart extracts approximately ___ of O2 delivered by arteries.
|
70%
|
|
During increased work - increased demand for O2 is met by increasing blood flow due to ________ of coronary vessels.
|
dilation
|
|
Sinoatrial node (SA) has
|
sympathetic & parasympathetic innervation (under control of parasympathetic at rest).
|
|
Atrioventricular node (AV) does what?
|
receives impulses from SA node and conducts it to bundle of HIS.
|
|
The AV node can act as a heart pacemaker if what fails?
|
SA node
|
|
T/F the AV node is innervated by parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves
|
True
|
|
What is Purkinje tissue?
|
specialized conducting tissue to both ventricles
|
|
Electrical impulse that causes heart beat ____ in SA node.
|
originates
|
|
Impulse spreads quickly through both atria which ______ simultaneously.
|
contracts
|
|
This impulse then stimulates AV node which transmits impulse down bundle of His to Purkinje fibers - causing simultaneous ___ contraction.
|
ventricle
|
|
- stimulation of parasympathetic nerves causes release of acetylcholine which ___ the heart rate and ____ force of contraction
|
slows, decreases
|
|
Parasympathetic center causes coronary arteries to ____.
|
dialte
|
|
- at rest, the heart is under continuous _____ control.
|
parasympathetic
|
|
Sympathetic center - stimulation causes ____ heart rate & force of contraction and the chemical mediator is _____ .
|
an increase, norepinephrine
|
|
Pressure receptors (_______) in aorta and carotid sinus sensitive to pressure changes.
|
baroreceptors
|
|
increased pressure stimulates parasympathetic system resulting in _____ heart rate and force of contraction.
|
decreased
|
|
What is sensitive to changes in levels of O2, CO2 and lactic acid in the blood?
|
Chemoreceptors
|
|
increased ____ and or ____ cause increased heart rate.
|
CO2, Lactic ACID
|
|
increased body temperature causes?
|
increased heart rate
|
|
decrease body temperature causes decrease?
|
heart rate
|
|
1.increased levels of potassium (hyperkalemia) does what? and 2.decreased levels of potassium (hypokalemia) does what?
|
1.decreases heart rate and force of contraction, and 2.increased heart rate and force of contraction
|
|
1.Increased calcium in the heart does what and 2.decreased calcium does what?
|
increases the heart rate prolongs the contractions, decreases the heart rate
|
|
Blood flows from area of higher pressure to area of lower pressure, or lower area of pressure to higher area of pressure?
|
From high to low
|
|
What is blood pressure? Dr. mac said it was going to be a test question.
