Blood enters the pulmonary trunk through the:
Right Ventricle
Blood entering aorta comes from the:
Left ventricle
The heart is a:
Closed cardiovascular system
Where is the heart located?
In the thorasic cavity, and sits on top of the diaphram, between the lungs (mediastinum)
Tissue that covers the heart
Pericardium
Tissue that covers the lungs
Pleura
Pericardium and pleura is what membrane?
Serous membrane
T/F: The muscular wall (myocardium) of the right ventricle is thicker than the left atrium
False
Peritaneum is a serous membrane on the:
intestines
Left side:
Systemic
Right side:
Pulmonary
Space between=
Cavity
Outer layer:
Parietal
Inner layer:
Visceral
Veins do what?
Carry blood to heart
Function of atrium:
Recieves blood
Function of ventricle:
Expells blood
Function of artery
Carry blood out of heart
Superior parts come from:
Upper extremities
Inferior parts come from:
Lower extremeties
Left pulmonary valve brings
oxygenated blood to left atrium
The blood vessels on the heart aka:
Coronary circulation
Lump dump sound is the sound of:
Contraction and relaxation
Has bigger walls because there is a greater amount of forche needed to pump the blood to the rest of the body
Left Ventricle
Blood from A-V goes from:
Atrium to ventricle
3 cusps=
tricuspid
2 cups=
bicuspid
When something is striated, it means:
it has light and dark bands
The 2 kinds of circulations are:
Chambers and valves
Functional syncytium means:
Contracting as a unit
The heart is stimulated by nerves but is _____-_______
Self-excitable
Autorhythmic cells generate their own rhythm- for example:
Pacemaker
The heart has unstable resting potentials (which means its never really at rest) Called what?
Pacemakers
Pacemaker potentials->
Action potentials
What is the primary pacemaker of the heart
Sinoatrial node
The SA node generates impulses at:
75 times/minute
The rhythm produced by the SA node is called;
The sinus rhythm
Impulses pass from atria to ventricles via the:
Atrioventricular bundle
The AV bundle splits into two pathways in the interventricular septum, what are the two pathways?
1. Bundle branches carry impulses to the heart
2. Purkinje fibers carry impulses to the heart apex and ventricular walls
What is the p-wave in an ecg?
Atrial depolarization
Atrial depolarization is initiated by:
the SA node
Ventricular depolarization begins at the:
Apex
Ventricular depolarization causes the _________ complex and _____________ ________________ occurs
QRS, Atrial repolarization
T wave is:
Ventricular repolarization
The heart by itself is:
Autorhythmic
The heart is stimulated by what?
the sympathetic cardioacceleratroy center
Heart is inhibited by what?
the Parasympathetic cardioinhibitory center
All the events associated with blood flow through the heart
Cardiac cycle
Contraction of heart muscle
Systole
Relaxation of heart muscle
Diastole
The "lub" sound is when:
The AV valves close when ventricles contract
The "dup" sound is when:
SL valves close when ventricles relax
The "lup" sound is the ______ of BP
systolic
The "dup" sound is the ______ of BP
Diastolic
T/F: The blood fills the L and RV simultaneously
TRUE MOFO
Why do AV valves close?
Because of pressure in the ventricles
How much L of blood is in the heart?
5
The rate at which blood is expelled
Cardiac output
Cardiac Output = A x B (What is A and B)
HR x SV
Number of beats per minute
Heart Rate
Amount of blood expelled from ventricles per beat
Stroke Volume
SV= A-B (What is A and B?)
End diastolic volume and end systolic volume
Amount of blood collected in the ventricles during relaxation
End diastolic Volume
Amount of blood remaining in a ventricle after contraction
End systolic Volume
Amound ventricles are stretched by contained blood
Preload
Cardiac cell contractile force due to factors other than EDV
Contractility
Back pressure exerted by blood in the aorta and pulmonary trunk
Afterload
Resting heart rate=
Vagal Tone
Cranial nerve that inervates the heart
Vagus
Sympathetic NS activity increases _____
HR
Hormone, epinephrin, thyroxine and glucagon increases:
HR
Parasympathetic NS activity decreases:
HR
