|
|
|
What is the function of the coronary artery?
|
supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients
|
|
|
Which parts of the heart collect the blood from the body?
|
the atria
|
|
|
Which parts of the heart pump the blood (over longer distances)?
|
the ventricles
|
|
|
Which parts of the heart control the direction of blood flow?
|
the atrio-ventricular and semilunar valves
|
|
|
For the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle: 1. what is it's name? 2. When does it open? 3. When does it close?
|
1. atrio-ventricular valve 2. when the pressure in the right artrium is higher than in the right ventricle following contraction of the atria 3. when the pressure in the ventricle is higher than tha atria due to the blood that has flown into it
|
|
|
For the valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery: 1. what is it's name? 2. When does it open? 3. When does it close?
|
1. semilunar valve 2. when the pressure in the right ventricle is higher than in the pulmonary artery following contraction of the ventricles 3. when the pressure in the pulmonary artery is higher than tha ventricle due to pressure reduction into the ventricle after the blood has flown out of it and a corresponding pressure increase in the pulmonary artery
|
|
|
For the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle: 1. what is it's name? 2. When does it open? 3. When does it close?
|
1. atrio-ventricular valve 2. when the pressure in the left artrium is higher than in the left ventricle following contraction of the atria 3. when the pressure in the ventricle is higher than tha atria due to the blood that has flown into it
|
|
|
For the valve between the left ventricle and aorta: 1. what is it's name? 2. When does it open? 3. When does it close?
|
1. semilunar valve 2. when the pressure in the left ventricle is higher than in the aorta following contraction of the ventricles 3. when the pressure in the aorta is higher than tha ventricle due to pressure reduction into the ventricle after the blood has flown out of it and a corresponding pressure increase in the pulmonary artery
|
|
|
What is systole?
|
Contraction of a heart chamber
|
|
|
What is diastole?
|
Relaxation of heart chambers
|
|
|
What does myogenic muscle contraction mean? Where does it happen?
|
myogenic=the cells contract without outside signals; the cells of the heart are myogenic
|
|
|
What does the pacemaker (SA node) do? Where is it?
|
controls the heart beat/ coordinates the actions of the heart muscle cells by creating electrical impulses; found in the wall of the right atrium
|
|
|
How do nerves affect the heartrate?
|
connects the brain to the pacemaker; increases heart rate by stimulating the pacemaker (for example, during exercise) or decrease by making the pacemaker work more slowly
|
|
|
What part of the brain controls the heart rate?
|
the medulla of the brain
|
|
|
Which hormone increases heart rate?
|
ephinephrine (adrenaline), which increases heartrate
|
|
|
When the SA node sends out an electrical signal, what happens?
|
both atria contract (atrial systole)
|
|
|
Where is the AV node?
|
lower right atruium
|
|
|
What causes the AV to send out an electrical impulse?
|
It gets the impulse from the SA node, delays slightly, and then sends out its impulse
|
|
|
When the AV node sends out an electrical signal, what happens?
|
both ventricles contract (ventricular systole)
|
|
|
Which chambers of the heart have thicker walls? How is structure related to function?
|
The ventricles are thicker than the atria because they require more muscle to pump the blood longer distances. The left ventricle is thicker than the right ventricle because it pumps blood father…to the whole body rather than just to the lungs
|
|
|
What creates the first sound in the heartbeat?
|
The atrio-ventricular closing after atrial systole
|
|
|
What creates the second sound in the heartbeat?
|
The semilunar valve closing during ventricular diastole ( after ventricular systole)
|
