Anatomy Lecture 3-Overview of the Cardiovascular System Flashcards
3 important capillary beds to consider:
1.) the body=systemic circulation 2.) the heart=cardiac circulation 3.) the lungs=pulmonary circulation
Major function of the cardiovascular system
transportation of water, Oxygen, CO2, nutrients, waste products and hormones

In the standard PA view:
The upper limit of the heart is near the sternal angle (anteriorly) and the intervertebral disc between T4/T5 vertebrae (posteriorly).
In the standard PA view:
the Inferior base/Apex of heart is roughly at _____ intercostal space and sits on the diaphragm.
In the standard PA view:
Inferior base/Apex of heart is roughly at 5th intercostal space and sits on the diaphragm.
In the standard PA view:
The right ventricle and the left ventricle (apex) together form the _________ ________ (on the superior surface of the diaphragm)
the right ventricle and the left ventricle (apex) together form the inferior border (on the superior surface of the diaphragm)
In the standard PA view:

The superior border of the heart is at the 3rd costal cartilage on the Right of the sternum and the 2nd intercostal space on the Left of the sternum.
In the heart, the greatest pressure is associated with _______ emptying (first big hump) (systolic-120). The smallest pressure is associated with ______ filling (diastolic-80)
In the heart, the greatest pressure is associated with ventriculcar emptying (first big hump) (systolic-120). The smallest pressure is associated with ventricular filling (diastolic-80)
Systole is the ______ of the heart.

Trace the blood flow in the circulatory system beginning with blood from the body to the heart.
- ) From the body, deoxygenated blood (venous return) flows through the superior and inferior vena cava in to the right atrium.
- ) From the right atrium, the deoxygenated blood flows through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle.
- ) From the right ventricle, the deoxygenated blood flows through the pulmonary valve/semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries.
- ) From the pulmonary arteries, the deoxygenated blood flows into the lungs.
- ) From the lungs, the now oxygenated blood flows through the pulmonary veins in to the left atrium.
- ) From the left atrium, the oxygenated blood flows through the mitral valve and into the left ventricle.
- ) From the left ventricle, oxygenated blood flows through the aortic valve and into the aorta.
- ) From the aorta, oxygenated blood flows to the body.
- ) From the body, deoxygenated blood flow back to the heart via the superior and inferior vena cava.
