|
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 |
