A&P Flashcards
3 layers of pericardium
visceral (25 ml fluid)
parietal
fiberous
atrioventricular valves
tricuspid
bicuspid
semilunar valves
pulmonic
aortic
chordae tendinea
connect heart valve to papillary muscles
tunica media
middle layer
gives vessle ability to recoil
tunica adventia
gives vessle strength
trace blood flow
r atrium tricuspid valve r ventricle pulmonic valve/artery lungs/pulmonic vein left atrium-mitral valve left ventricle - aortic valve aorta body
R coronary artery
supplies right atrium, portion of right ventricle, part of conduction system. 2 parts are posterior descending and marginal
coronary collateral circulation
protective mechanism that provides alternative path for blood to flow in event of blockage
stroke volume
60-100 ml with average of 70
ejection fraction
percentage of blood ejected each beat
55-70% is normal
another name for afterload
systemic vascular resistance
intercolated discs
allow simultanious contraction
cardiac action potential
4= resting action potential 0= depolarization (rush of sodium) 1-2= calcium slowly introduced into cell 3 repolarization 4 potassium shifts back into cell
lumen
where blood actually flows
