When you have a myocardial infarcation, what are you doing to the heart? Are you making it work harder or the same?

You killed 10% of the cells, therefore you are putting more pressure on the other cells and making them work harder

Explain the Systemic Circuit.
Where does it bring blood to and from?

Brings blood to and from the tissues.
Heart is in the center of the two systems.

What color is blood when oxygenated?

Red = oxygenated blood

What color is blood when it is deoxygenated?

Blue = deoxygenated blood

Do the circuits include arteries or veins?
Why?

Both circuits include have both arteries and veins
Because you need to carry to and from

What side of the heart carries fully oxygenated blood?

The left side

Where from the heart does fully oxygenated blood come out of? Where does that oxygenated blood end up?

Comes out of the aorta


Branches down to the capillary network going to the tissues

After going to the tissues, where does the blood go next and how? Is the blood deoxygenated or oxygenated and by what ratio?

The blood will go the right side of the heart, carrying deoxygenated blood. It will still have oxygen but not a 4:1 ratio

What blood vessel carries blood away from the heart?

Arteries

What blood vessel brings blood towards the heart?

Veins

What is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood? How is this?

Pulmonary arteries
B/c we are bringing it from the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated

What vessels carry blood from the lungs to the heart? What type of blood is it?

Pulmonary veins
Oxygenated blood

What is the heart primarily made out of?

Made out of muscle

Explain the design of the heart.

Hollow and has chambers
Double Pump
Fibrous Skeleton
Suspended in fluid filled pericardial sac

There are two receiving chambers, what is the name for them?

Atria

The right atria receives from where?

The body

Why does the right atria receive from the body?

Because the right side of the heart carries deoxygenated blood and the atria are receiving so it will receive deoxygenated blood from the body

The left atria receives from where? Why?

Receives from the lungs
Because the left side of the heart carries oxygenated blood and atria are receivers

What are the two pumping chambers called?

Ventricles

Where does the right ventricle pump to?
Why?

Pumps to the heart
Because the right side of the heart carries deoxygenated blood and has to pump the blood somewhere

Where does the left ventricle pump to? Why?

It will pump to the rest of the body because the left side of the heart carries oxygenated blood and the ventricle has to pump either to the lungs or the body and it only makes sense that oxygenated blood goes to the body

Explain the fibrous skeleton. Why does the heart need this?

Oriented on angles to one another.
Looks like a lattice
The heart never stops pumping so the angle of cells is almost impossible to rip apart

Explain the pericardial sac. What's another name for it? What type of tissue is it? What is the fluid named? Why is it there?

Protector barrier
AKA: Pericardium
Thin layer of connective tissue
In between the heart wall and the pericardium, fluid kept there by the pericardium
Fluid: pericardium fluid
Lungs are right next to the heart (which are expanding and contracting) to protect the heart you have the sac (Essentially water) and acts as a cushion

Where are the atria located?

Top of the heart

Where are the ventricles located?

Bottom of the heart

What does the AV valves separate and what is another name for them?

Atria and Ventricles


Atrio Ventricular Valves

Which AV valve is the tricuspid?

Right

Which AV valve is the bicuspid?

Left (mi-trial)

What does -cuspid mean?

How many lobes when closed

What do the semilunar valves separate?

The ventricles from the associated blood vessels

Which valve (a semi lunar valve ) is on the right side of the heart? What do they separate? Explain

The Pulmonary Valve
Semi lunar valves separate ventricles from the associated blood vessel, we know that ventricles pump out and the right side of the heart carries deoxygenated blood
It separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary trunk
Therefore, it has to be the pulmonary

Which valve (a semi lunar valve ) is on the left side of the heart? What does it separate? Explain

The aortic
Semi lunar valves separate ventricles from the associated blood vessel, we know that ventricles pump out and the left side of the heart carries oxygenated blood
It separates the left ventricle from the aortic arch
Therefore, it has to be the aortic

Name the order of the heart wall, include the pericardium?

Pericardium
Epicardium
Myocardium
Endocardium

How many layers is the actual heart wall?

3

Describe the epicardium? Include type of tissue

Layer of connective tissue
Outermost layer surrounding the heart

Describe the Myocardium? Is it the thickest or thinest?

It is the actual heart muscle
Thickest

Explain the endocardium? Type of tissue. Where is it located?

Layer of connective tissue lining the inside of the heart
White layer
Lines each one of the chambers

The 3rd circuit is named what?

Coronary Circulation

What is the purpose of the coronary circulation?

Supply myocardium with blood and nutrients

Where is the coronary circuit located?

On the outside of the heart

Where are the coronary arteries located and where do they arise from?

They surround the epicardium
The arteries arise from the base of the aorta

Where will the coronary arteries eventually go to and by what vessels?

The tissues of the hearts by coronary capillaries

Where do coronary veins arise from and where will they eventually go to?

Arise from the coronary capillaries then will empty into the right atria

What is coronary disease?

Disease of the blood vessels surrounding the heart

Describe Angina Pectorallis

Temporary halt in blood delivery
Fat develops as a plaque on the inside of the arteries = obstruction
This plaque causes a narrow opening and now spasms of pumping

What does angina pectoralis cause in the arteries?

A narrow opening due to plaque build up

What is another name for a myocardial infarcation?

Heart Attack

What type of cells are myocardium? What does that mean?

Amitotic
(A - mitotic)
They cannot undergo mitosis, therefore once they die, they will not be able to form new ones

What is another name for a myocardial infarcation?

Heart Attack

What type of cells are myocardium? What does that mean?

Amitotic
(A - mitotic)
They cannot undergo mitosis, therefore once they die, they will not be able to form new ones

How many cells does a myocardial infarcation kill?

About 10%

If you have a myocardial infarcation, what do the dead cells develop as? Can they work the same?

Scar tissue
No, they are non contractile

When you have a myocardial infarcation, what are you doing to the heart? Are you making it work harder or the same?

You killed 10% of the cells, therefore you are putting more pressure on the other cells and making them work harder
