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
