47-1 Flashcards
atrium and ventricle
atrium is the upper chambers of the heart
ventricle is the lower chambers
which side of the heart is oxygenated and which side is deoxygenated?
the right side of the heart(blue) is deoxygenated and pumps blood to the lungs.
the left side of the heart (red) is oxygenated.
describe the path blood takes in the heart and body
describe the functions of the lymphatic system
It keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections.
what does the pericardium do?
surrounds the heart and secretes a fluid that reduces friction when the heart beats.
describe the septum
where it is
what it does
a septum divides the heart into two sides. also prevents oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to mix.
describe a one-way valve
(AV) valves
a one-way valve separates each atrium from the ventricle beneath it.
they consist of flaps of tissue that open in only one direction.
the (AV) valve on the bottom right side is called the tricuspid valve.
and the (AV) valve on the left side is called mitral valve.
as the ventricles pump, blood pressure closes the AV valves, preventing blood from flowing backward from the ventricles to the atrium.
What do nodes do?
control the heartbeat
regulates the beat
where is SA nodes located
right atrium
where is the AV node located?
in the septum, between the atria
average adult rest heart beats….each minute
70 times each minute
phase one of the heartbeat is called?
systole
when does phase one of the heartbeat happen?
when the ventricles contact, closing the AV valves and opening the SL valves to pump blood into the two major vessels that exit the heart.
phase two of the heartbeat
phase two, called diastole, occurs when the ventricles relax, allowing the back pressure of the blood to close the SL
muscular vessels that carry blood away from the heart
arteries
an inner layer of endothelia, middle layer of smooth muscle, outer layer of connective tissue.
