30 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
location of the pectinate muscles
left and right auricles and the anterior wall of the right atrium
function of the pectinate muscles
increases force of the atrial contraction without increasing heart mass
What is trabeculae carnea
they prevent bubble formation that may occur when blood flows rapidly and trubulenity inside the ventricles
where are trabeculae carnea located
raised muscles bundles in both ventricles except the conus arteriosus
what is the conus arteriosus
the smooth, conical area immediately below the pulmonary valvein the right ventrical
The endocardium is also know as the
endothelium
The endocardium is continuous with what
the great vessels
superficial ventricular muscle bundles wrap around what
both ventricles
deeper ventricular muscle bundles doo what
spiral around each ventricle individually
What are papillary muscles
coned shaped trabeculae carnea in the ventricles
What are chordae tendoneae
tendon like cords attached to the papillary muscles proximally and to the AV valve cusps distally
function of the chordae tendoneae
they prevent valve eversion (prolapse) into the atria and regurgitation of blood into the atria during ventricular contraction
an electrical conduction shortcut from the right bundle branch to the more laterally located papillary muscles within the right ventricle
moderator band in the right ventricle
What shape is the right ventricular chamber
crescent shaped in transverse section and contracts like bellows
what shape is the left ventricular chamber
conical shap and it decreases the base apex distance and ventricular chamber diameter
dense connective tissue rings surrounding the four valves that fuses the valves together and merges with the inter ventricular septum
fibrous skeleton
provides a foundation for heart valve structure
fibrous skeleton
each heart valve has a skingle fibrous ring know as what
annulus
this item acts as an insertion point for cardiac muscle
fibrous skeleton
prevents overstreching of the valves as blood flows through them
fibrous skeleton
acts as an electrical insulator preventing direct spread of the action potential from atria to ventricles
fibrous skeleton
a series of grooves on the heart surface that contain coronary blood vessels and variable amounts of fat
sulci
where is the coronary sulcus located
between the atria and the ventricles
where is the anterior/posterior inter ventricular sulci
between the right and left ventricles on the anterior and posterior sides of the heart
What makes up the cardiac cycle
the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next, includes one systole and one diastole
a period of myocardial contraction involving both the atria and ventricles
systole
systemic arterial blood pressure is at its high during what
systole
a period of myocardial relaxation during which the heart fills with blood
diastole
systemic arterial blood pressure is at its lowest
diastole
smooth muscle in the vessel walls primarily the what have a slightly different receptor arrangement for epinephrine and norepinephrine than the systemic circulation
arteries
