chambers of the left side of the heart (left atrium and left ventricle) along with all other named blood vessels.
what does systematic circulation do?
carries blood to all peripheral organs and tissues of the body. blood that is high in oxygen from the left side of the heart is pumped to the aorta.
gas is exchanged with tissues from bodys smallest vessels called what
capillaries
systematic veins carry....
blood low in oxygen and high in C02 and waste back to the heart
most veins merge and drain in the ______ and ______ _____ _____ which drain the blood into the right atrium

formed by the great arterial trunks (ascending aorta and pulmonary trunks) and the superior vena cava
base of heart?
posterosuperior surface of heart formed mostly of left atrium

formed by right ventricle

a thin, double- layered serous membrane called a serous pericardium.
visceral layer is?
a serous pericardium also called the epicardium that covers the outside of heart
pericardial cavity
thin space between the parietal and visceral layers of the serous pericardium
pericarditis (clinical view)
inflammation of the hearts preicardium
caused by virus, bacteria or fungi
pain located over the center or left of chest, may extend to the neck or left shoulder
results in loss od lubricating action of serous membrane
epicardium is?
outermost layer of the heart aka visceral layer of serous pericardium. its composed of serous membrane and areolar connective tissure
myocardium is?
middle layer of heart wall composed of cardiac muscle tissue the myocardium is the thickest of the 3 layers.
size of the heart
approximately the size of a person’s clenched fist
how much does the heart weigh?
In the average normal adult, it weighs about 250 to 350 grams
The heart wall is composed of an outer _______ (visceral layer of the serous pericardium), a middle _______ (cardiac muscle), and an inner _______, (composed of areolar connective tissue and an endothelium).
epicaridum, myocardium, endocardium
The left and right ____ are thin-walled chambers located superiorly.
atria
The anterior part of each atrium is a wrinkled, flaplike extension, called an _____
auricle cuz it resembles an ear
The right atrium receives blood from the _______circulation, and the left atrium receives blood from the ______ circulation
systematic, pulmonary
2 large arteries, the ________ _________ and the ______, exit the heart at its superior border.
pulmonary trunk, aorta
The ______ _______ carries blood from the right ventricle into the pulmonary circulation, while the aorta conducts blood from the left ventricle into the systemic circulation.
pulmonary trunk
the ventricles each pump ________ amount of blood per min
the same
The first sound heard with a stethoscope is the result of the AV valves ______; producing a “lubb” sound. The second sound is produced when the semilunar valves ______; producing a “dupp” sound
closing, close
Right atrioventricular valve
location, structure, and function
location:Between right atrium and right ventricle

structure: Three triangular-shaped cusps of dense connective tissue covered by endothelium; chordae tendineae attached to free edges

function: Prevents backflow of blood into right atrium when ventricles contract
Pulmonary semilunar valve
location, structure, and function
location:Between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk

structure: 3 semilunar cusps of dense connective tissue covered by endothelium; no chordae tendineae

function:Prevents backflow of blood into right ventricle when ventricles relax
Left atrioventricular valve
location, structure, and function
location: Between left atrium and left ventricle

structure: Two triangular-shaped cusps of dense connective tissue covered by endothelium; chordae tendineae attached to free edges

function: Prevents backflow of blood into left atrium when ventricles contract
Aortic semilunar valve
location, structure, function
location: Between left ventricle and ascending aorta

structure: Three semilunar cusps of dense connective tissue covered by endothelium; no chordae tendineae

function: Prevents backflow of blood into left ventricle when ventricles relax
