Location of heart in thorax
mediastinum
superior heart chambers
atria
inferior heart chambers
ventricles
visceral pericardium
epicardium
anterooms of the heart
atria
equals cardiac muscle
myocardium
provides nutrient blood to heart muscle
coronary arteries
lining of heart chambers
endocardium
actual pump of heart
ventricles
drains blood into r. atrium
coronary sinus
what is the function of the valves in the heart
enforce one way flow.....prevent back flow
what is the role of the chordae tendineae
anchor AV during ventricular systole, prevents back flow of blood into atria
P arteries
P capillaries heart
P veins
pulmonary circuit
S. arteries
heart S. capillaries
S. veins
systemic circuit
what is the function of the fluid that fills the pericardial sac
reduce friction during heart activity
differentiate between the roles of the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit
pulmonary to lungs gas exchange
systemic to body tissue
Right atrium to ______
tricuspid valve
Tricuspid valve to the ____
right ventricle
Right ventricle thru the _____
pulmonary semilunar
pulmonary semilunar valve to the _______
pulmonary trunk
pulmonary trunk to the ____ and ______ ___________
right and left pulmonary arteries
right and left pulmonary arteries to the ______ of the _____
capillary beds of the lungs
capillary beds of the lungs to the ______
pulmonary veins
pulmonary veins to the ____
left atrium
left atrium of heart through the _____
mitral/bicuspid valve
mitral/bicuspid valve to the ______
left ventricle
left ventricle through the ________
aortic semilunar valve
aortic semilunar valve to the _____
aorta
aorta to the _______-
systemic arteries
systemic arteries to the ___________
capillary beds of the tissues
capillary beds of the tissues to the ________
systemic veins
systemic veins to the _________ and _________ __________
inferior and superior vena cava and coronary sinus
inferior and superior vena cava and coronary sinus, entering the __________
right atrium
If the mitral valve does not close properly, which circulation is effected
systemic
Why might a thrombus (clot) in anterior descending branch of left coronay artery cause sudden death
artery supplys blood to interventricular septum and anterior walls of both ventricles. ventricular damage to left ventricle is serious
coronary arteries supplys
interventricular septum and anterior walls of both ventricles
how would you distinguish the structure of cardiac muscle from skeletal muscle.
both are striated (not distinguishable)
skeletal long cylindrical cells many peripheral nuclei per cell.
cardiac one or two centrally located nuclei per cell: branched ends intercalated discs
describe uniques anatomical features of cardiac muscle. what role does structure play in its function
cardiac muscle cells form functional syncytium b/c intercalated discs
structure of and arrangement allows pumping to be coordinated
diffences in left or right ventricle chambers
left ventricle firm right chamber flabby
which is thicker right or left ventricle
left ventricle
diffence in the right and left chambers reflects what
left ventricle pumps blood thru high resistance systemic circuit so needs to be stronger
right ventricle pumps blood through short low resistance pulmonary circuit
semilumnar valves prevent back flow into the ______
ventricles
av valves prevent back flow into the ___________
atria
how does operation of semilunar valves differs from the AV valves
ventricle compressed (systole) AV valves move superiorly closed
When blood flows into semilunar valve cusps fill and close valve
compare and contrast structure of right and left atrioventricular valves
both thin flaps secured to chordae tendineae. Right vlave has three cusps, left valve has two
Two remnants of fetal structures ________
arteriosum and fossa ovalis
what is the arteriosum and fossa ovalis called in fetal heart where are they located
ligamentum arteriosum ductus arteriousus btwn pulmonary trunk & aorta
Foramen ovale in atrial septum
in the featl heart ligamentum arteriosum and Foramen ovale served what function
ligamentum arteriosum
Foramen ovale
allowed blood to bypass nonfunctional lungs
can the heart function with leaky valves
yes
differntiate clearly between the roles of the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit
pulmonary circuit provides for gas exchange only
systemic cicuit supplies body tissue
