The right side of the heart contains the right atrium and ventricle and is separated by which valve?
|
tricuspid valve
|
|
What is the primary function of the right side of the heart ?
|
to recieve blood from the vascular system and to pump blood thru the lungs
|
|
The left side of heart contains the left atrium and left ventricle, which valve separates the two
|
mitral valve
|
|
What is the primary function of the left side of the heart
|
to receive oxygenated blood from the lungs and to pump blood thru the systemic circulation
|
|
Both atriums are the ----- chambers and both ventricles are the ------ chambers
|
receiving; ejecting
|
|
which side of the heart has a lower pressure and why?
|
the right side because it has a thinner myocardium
|
|
what is the purpose of the cardiac valves?
|
to maintain the directional flow of blood thru the <3 chambers
|
|
which valves prevent backflow of blood from the ventricles into atrium DURING systole?
|
mitral and tricuspid
|
|
THIS valve is the outflow valve of the right ventricle into pulmonary circulation
|
pulmonic valve
|
|
This is the outflow valve of the left ventricle into the aorta
|
Aortic valve
|
|
The aortic and pulmonic valves prevent the backflow of blood from where?
|
pulomonary artery and aortic arch into the ventricle during diastole
|
|
the right side of the heart receives blood from the body and pumps it thru which artery to the lungs
|
pulmonary artery
|
|
the left side of the heart gets oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it thru WHAT to the body?
|
Aorta
|
|
Once blood is in the right ventricle where does it go next?
|
blood is ejected thru pulmonic valve into pulmonary artery and to the lungs for 02
|
|
oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium via What?
|
pulmonary veins
|
|
Once the blood go thru the mitral valve and into the lft ventricle what is next
|
blood is ejected thru the aortic valve into the aortic arch and into systemic circulation
|
|
what artery is the only one to carry unoxygenated blood
|
pulmonary artery
|
|
the only vein to in the circulatory system to carry oxygenated blood
|
pulmonary vein
|
|
what is the amount of blood ejected from the VENTRICLE
|
stroke volume
|
|
What is starlings law of the heart?
|
the greater the cardiac muscle is stretched = more forceful the contraction= if an increased amount of blood flows into the heart = then the heart will increase the force of contraction and eject a larger # of blood
|
|
stoke volume x HR
|
cardiac output
|
|
contractility
|
the vigor or force to push blood forward; the ability of the myocardium to contract
|
|
preload
|
the filling of the ventricles at the end of diastole, the more the ventricles fill=more stretch=the greater the contraction force during systole - if there is a decrease in preload then contractility is decreased and CO
|
|
afterload
|
the pressure in the aorta that the ventricles must overcome in order to pump blood into systemic circulation; consrtict or dilate; good indicator of BP
|
|
what provides the only source of oxygenated blood for the myocardium
|
coronary arteries
|
|
the left coronary artery divided into what
|
anterior descending and circumflex arteries and supplies the left atrium/ventricles with 02
|
|
what supplies the AV node of the conduction system with oxygen
|
right coronary artery
|
