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. |
Brings blood to and from the tissues. |
|
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? |
Both circuits include have both arteries and veins |
|
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 |
|
What vessels carry blood from the lungs to the heart? What type of blood is it? |
Pulmonary veins |
|
What is the heart primarily made out of? |
Made out of muscle |
|
Explain the design of the heart. |
Hollow and has chambers |
|
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 |
|
What are the two pumping chambers called? |
Ventricles |
|
Where does the right ventricle pump to? |
Pumps to the heart |
|
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. |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
Which valve (a semi lunar valve ) is on the left side of the heart? What does it separate? Explain |
The aortic |
|
Name the order of the heart wall, include the pericardium? |
Pericardium |
|
How many layers is the actual heart wall? |
3 |
|
Describe the epicardium? Include type of tissue |
Layer of connective tissue |
|
Describe the Myocardium? Is it the thickest or thinest? |
It is the actual heart muscle |
|
Explain the endocardium? Type of tissue. Where is it located? |
Layer of connective tissue lining the inside of the heart |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
What is another name for a myocardial infarcation? |
Heart Attack |
|
What type of cells are myocardium? What does that mean? |
Amitotic |
|
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 |
|
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 |
