Anatomy: Heart Flashcards
4 key elements of cardiovascular system
heart
veins
capillaries
arteries
arteriole system
heart to tissues
oxygenated blood
venous system
return blood from tissues back to the heart
deoxygenated
differences between arteries and veins
lumen size is larger in veins
arteries also have elastic lamina
veins have valves
pressure in arteries compared to veins
much higher
3 layers of arteries and veins
tunica adventitia
tunica media
tunica intima
what lines the blood vessels
endothelium
what lines the heart
endocardium
4 chambers of the heart
right atrium
left atrium
right ventricle
left ventricle
label heart
right atrium
left aftrium
right ventricle
left ventricle
right atrium primary function
receive blood from the body
left atrium function
receive blood from lungs
right ventricle function
pump blood to the lungs
left ventricle function
pump blood to the bod y
what does the image show and what is the blood like here
right side of the heart
blood is deoxygenated
what does the image show and what is the blood like here
left side of the heart
blood is oxygenated
sources of blood into the right atrium
superior vena cava
where does the superior vena cava bring blood from
head
neck
upper limbs
majority of the thorax

superior vena cava
where does the inferior vena cava bring blood from
lower limbs
abdomen
pelvis
where does the inferior vena cava bring blood from
lower limbs

what is in the image
coronary sinus
coronary sinus function
return venous blood from the heart
has small anterior veins
what is in the image and what does it do
right atrioventricular valve/ tricuspid valve
control blood flow into the right ventricle
what is in the image
pulmonary semilunar valve
what is in the image
pulmonary trunk
what is in the image
pulmonary veins

left atrium
what is in the image
bicuspid or mitral valve
what is in the image
left ventricle
what is in the image
aortic semilunar valve
