structure of heart
|
4 chambered pump apex/base
|
|
Pericardium
Parietal Pericardium Visceral Pericardium |
parietal - lines cavity
visceral - lies directly on heart pericardium surrounds heart; membrane folds back on itself to form 2 layers |
|
Epicardium
myocardium endocardium |
Epi-outermost layer, blood vessels to nurish heart
Myo- cardiac muscle Endo- inner layer, simple squamous epithelium |
|
right atrium/right ventricle
|
tricuspid valve. blood goes from right vent. to lungs via pulmonary artery
|
|
left Atrium/right ventricule
|
bicuspid valve. blood goes to aorta to rest of body
|
|
Coronary sinus
|
stores venous blood
|
|
Heart Valves
Atrioventricular valves |
Tricuspid (R)
Bicuspid (L) allows flow from atria to ventricles. |
|
Heart Valves
Semilunar Valves |
Pulmonary semilunar valve between R Vent. & Pulmonary Trunk
Aortic Semilunar Valve - L Vent & Aorta |
|
Cardiac Cycle
first part |
Systole - Contraction Phase
Diastole- relaxation Phase Atria & ventricles contract @ same time then thru AV valves |
|
Cardiac Cycle
Atrial Systole |
Atrial Systole (vent. diastole) forces blood into relaxed ventricles
|
|
Cardiac Cycle
part 3 Ventricular Systole |
Vent. Sistole (Atrial Diastole)
Increases blood pressure in ventricles blood moves from vent. to arteries |
|
Cardiac Cycle
final stage Vent. Diastole |
allows AV valves to open and semilunar to close (blood has been moved into system
|
|
Heart Sounds
Lup-Dup |
Lup - closing of AV valves during Ventricular systole
Dup - Closing of Semilunar valves during vent. diastole |
|
Circuits of blood flow-
Pulmonary Circuit Systemic Circuit |
Pulmonary circuit - de-oxy blood flows from R ventricle to lungs and Oxy blood flows from lungs to L Atrium.
|
|
blood suppy to heart
|
R & L Coronary arteries
coronary veins return blood to coronary sinus which drains into R Atrium. |
|
Heart Conduction System
Electrical impulses etc |
SA Node pacemaker of heart. Where conduction for heart starts.
|
|
System to regulate heart
SA Node AV nod, AV bundle. Purkinje fibers |
input from nervous system to regulate heart
SA node impulse that causes atria to contract AV node - receives impulse from SA and passes to Bundle of HIss AV bundle R/L carries impulse down vent. septum. Purkinje fibers carries impulse to any mycoardium |
|
EKG
P Wave QRS Wave T WAve |
P = Atrial depolarization
QRS = vent. depolarization T Vent. repolarization |
|
Structure of arteries & Veins
Structure of vessel itselve |
Tunica Externa (support & Elasticity), Tunica Media - smooth muscle fibers, vessel diameter; Tunica Externa - endothelium lining inside blood vessel (keeps inside slick
|
|
arteries
arterioles |
carrys blood away from heart. forms arterioules.
|
|
arteries-arterioles-capillaries
|
arteries-arterioles go into capillary. smallest vessel. one RBC at a time pass thru more in active tissue, less in connective tissue
|
|
Interstitial fluid
|
Exchange of materials pass thru interstitial fluid as they move between blood & cells. water exchanged by osmosis
|
|
Veins
|
capillaries empty de-oxy blood into venules that unite to form veins. has valves to prevent backflow since pressure is less . holds 60% of blood volume at any instant. venous sinusoids of liver & spleen have reservoirs
|
|
Blood Flow
|
from high to low pressure. greatest in ventricles, lowest in atria. Aorta is highest pressure vessel
|
|
skeletal muscles
|
contractions compress veins forcing blood from one valved segment to another
|
|
Systolic/Diastolic Blood Pressure
|
arterial blood in systemic circuit
systolic -highest pressure during vent. systole diastolic lowest during vent. diastole |
|
pulse pressure
|
diff between systolic & diastolic blood pressure. causes the pulse (expansion/ contraction of arterial walls
|
|
cardiac output
|
volume of blood pumped by heart in one minute. higher output=higher blood pressure
|
|
Blood volume/pressure
Peripheral Resistance |
decrease blood vol. decrease blood pressure and vice versa.
PR friction of blood against vessel walls. constriction of arterioles increase resistance & pressure. Dilation decreases both. Anything that might slow it down |
|
Viscosity
|
resistance to liquid blood flow. increase viscosity = incr BP
vice versa |
|
vasomotor center
|
in medulla governs vasoconstriction/vasodilation to alter BP
|
|
Pulmonary Circuit
|
Pul trunk & arteries carry de-oxy blood to lungs
Pul. veins carry oxy blood to L atrium. Oxy moves from higher to lower concentration |
|
Superior & Inferior vena cava
|
superior returns blood from arms, shoulders, head neck
inferior from legs & lower trunk |
|
Common Carotid
Brachiocephallic Subclavian Axillary |
2 in neck goes to head
Splits into head & neck below clavicle armpit branches into brachial then into radial (thumb side) and ulner (pinky side) |
|
Aorta
Common Illiac Femoral & Popliteal |
bends then goes thru thoracic cavity
common illiac is last branch of descending aorta at legs femoral - femor popliteal @ knees |
|
Major Veins
|
Inferior/superior vena cava
Jugular - drains blood from head brachiocephallic subclavian, axillary, common iliac, femoral & popliteal |
|
Hepatic Portal Vein
|
Blood goes thru here to be filtered by liver (detoxified & clean) before goes into vena cava. monitor & adjusts blood composition from digestive tract.
