32
Q

thread-like bands of fibrous tissue that attach on one end to the edges of the tricuspid and mitral valves (AV valves) of the heart and on the other end to papillary muscles within the heart that serve to anchor the valves

A

chordae tendinae

33
Q

damage to the valves of the heart can cause _____, _____, or both.

A
  • stenosis - insufficiency (inadequate closure)
34
Q

a slight insufficiency of valves common in young women and is often asymptomatic

A

mitral valve prolapse

35
Q

type of circulation: - arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body - veins then return the oxygen-depleted blood to the heart

A

systemic circulation

36
Q

type of circulation: - pulmonary arteries carry oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated and returned to the heart through pulmonary veins

A

pulmonary circulation

37
Q

_____ have thick wall and carry blood away from the heart

A

arteries

38
Q

A

right

40
Q

Right vs. Left: The ____ side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and delivers it to the body.

41
Q

Right vs. Left: The muscles of the ____ side are 4 times thicker and more powerful than those on the right side.

A

left

42
Q

Right vs. Left: The ____ side of the heart pumps blood through a much shorter distance and at lower pressures.

A

right

43
Q

Flow of blood through the heart: __#1__ receives deoxygenated blood from the body –> __#2__ receives deoxygenated blood from the R atrium –> __#3__ receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via pulmonary veins –> __#4__ receives oxygenated blood from L atrium and pumps blood out to the whole body via aorta

A
  1. right atrium 2. right ventricle 3. left atrium 4. left ventricle

45
Q

Both ventricles get blood from branches of Right and Left ________.

Q

Each atrium only receives blood from its corresponding _______.

A

coronary artery

47
Q

The _________ is the biggest and receives the most blood.

A

Left ventricle

Q

an alternate name for anterior interventricular branch of the left coronary artery. Term is used because the left main coronary and/or left anterior descending supply blood to large areas of the heart.

A

Widow maker

49
Q

fibers that repeatedly generate action potentials that trigger contraction. Continue to stimulate heart beat even after the heart has been removed from the body. - ensure that the cardiac chambers are stimulated to contract in a coordinated manner

A

autorhythmic cardiac muscle fibers

50
Q

cells that are not contractile. Their sole purpose is to generate rapid conduction of an action potential through the heart

A

specialized cardiac muscle cells

51
Q

heart’s primary pacemaker is located high in the right atrium

atrioventricular node (AV)

53
Q

The ______ is located in the superior aspect of the interventricular septum. It is also known as bundle of His.

A

AV bundle

54
Q

Right and left ______ extend through the interventricular septum toward the apex of the heart.

bundle branches

55
Q

conduct the action potential beginning in the apex of the heart upward to the remainder of the ventricular myocardium

A

purkinjie fibers

56
Q

cessation of coronary artery flow for more than a few minutes causes death of heart muscle
