Blood Flow through body
Superior and inferior vena cava dumps deoxygenated blood into the right atrium. The blood then travels through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. Next, the blood goes the pulmonic valve and into the pulmonary artery, which leads it into the lungs. There, the deoxygenated blood becomes oxygenated by external respiration. The co2 from the blood diffuses from the erythrocyte (rbc) and goes into the alveoli. While this is happening, o2 heads into the rbc by diffusion. The now oxygenated blood goes back to the left atrium of the heart by the pulmonary veins. The oxygenated blood goes from the left atrium and into the left ventricle by the bicuspid (mitral) valve. The blood then goes into the aorta by way of the aortic valve. The blood is then sent to the cells of tissues and organs throughout the body, where internal respiration is performed. The blood, now deoxygenated, returns back to the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava to restart the entire process.

Coronary Arteries
Fill during diastole
Afterload
Resistance the heart must pump
(Open the aortic valve)
Sodium potassium pump
(Polarized)
Resting potential
(Ready for a run)
Sodium potassium pump
(Depolarized)
- Action potential
-3 sodium (na+) comes in cell and 2 potassium (k+) leave cell - leaving on a run
Sodium potassium pump
(Repolarization)
-Returning back to being polarized
-2 potassium k+ enter the cell and 3 na+ sodium leave the cell
- coming back from a run
Cardiocytes
(Excitability)
Allows the heart cells to function as a single unit
- they all fire
