Anatomy exam review Flashcards
the upper chambers of the heart and their function
Atria/receiving chambers of blood
This condition is a build up of pericardial fluid around the heart
Cardiac tamponade
Located on the outside the heat, this sulus separates the upper and lower chambers
Coronary Sulcus
This septum separates the atria of the heart
Interatrial septum
This medical condition is known as “being born with a hole in your heart.”
Atrial septal defect
This is a “hole” that exist inside the atrial chambers during fetal development
Foramen ovale
This main function of the heart valves is to
Make sure blood is flowing in one direction
Where are AV valves located inside of the heart
Between the atria and ventricles
What are the AV valves
Bicuspid, Tricuspid
This AV valve is located on the left side of the hear
Bicuspid
This AV valve is located on the right side of the heart
Tricuspid
Chordae tendineae & papillary muscles are associated with these valves:
Atrioventricular (AV) Valve
These valves are located between a major blood vessel and a ventricle
Semilunar (SL) valves
The pulmonary (SL) valve is locatd between the
Right ventricle & pulmonary trunk
This semilunar valve will transport blood between the left ventricle and the aorta
Aortic SL valve
Select the two valve that are most commonly affected by disease/disorders
Bicuspid and Aortic SL valve
Which answer best describes the blood flow through a valve experiencing stenosis
Fast squirting: like your finger on a garden hose
Which heart valve usually experiences insufficiency?
Bicuspid
What are used in trans catheter procedures
Brachial, Femoral
Rheumatic fever affects this area of the heart:
Aortic SL & Bicuspid valve
What happens to the blood flow in a person experiencing Afib?
Blood flow slows & remains in an atrium
What can result from the blood flow slowing & remaining in an atria during Afib?
A blood clot can form
If a blood clot forms from Afib, & travels to the coronary arteries of the heart, this could occur:
Myocardial infarction (heart attack
Name the condition that occurs if a blood clot travels to the brain and restricts the blood flow.
Ischemic stroke
A myocardial infraction occurs due to a blockage in this part of the heart:
Coronary Arteries
How does nicotine in cigarettes increase the risk of a heart attack?
Shrink/constrict the coronary arteries
Why is HDL considered “good” cholesterol?
Takes LDL back to the liver to get processed & removed
This type of circulation travels from the heart to the lungs, and which side of the heart does it involve?
Pulmonary, right side
This type of circulation travels from the heart to the body (systems), and which side of the heart does it involve?
Systemic, left
Which of the major coronary arteries is called the “widow maker” (Labeling Notes p. 2)
Anterior descending artery
Where is the circumflex coronary artery located?
Around the left atrium
This type of pacemaker occurs when other areas besides the SA Node want to start the heart beat:
Ectopic pacemaker
This term means “an irregular heart beat”
Arrhythmia
This type of arrhythmia means the heart is beating too slow:
Bradycardia
An artificial pacemaker would be inserted if the following structures are damaged. (select 2)
SA and AV node
On an EKG, the p-wave can evaluate the following
The health of the atria, The SA node has started the electrical route
After the P-wave the blood flows from:
Atria to ventricles
This part of an EKG Lead 2 Record will tell your the health and electrical flow through the ventricle
QRS
After the QRS series, the blood flows from:
Ventricles to SL valves
The t-wave tells you:
Ventricles are relaxing
