Biol 224 Exam 1 Wone Flashcards
Parietal Pericardium
Double walled outer sac
Tough
Pericardial Cavity
Filled with pericardial fluid
Lubricates the heart to reduce friction
Visceral Pericardium
= to epicardium
Epicardium
Outermost wall of the heart
Endocardium
Lines the heart chambers
Covers valve surfaces
Myocardium
Lies between the epicardium and endocardium
Performs the work of the heart
Blood flow in the heart
Vena cava -> R. Atrium -> Tri. Valve -> R. Ventricle -> pulmonary valve -> pulmonary trunk -> pulmonary artery -> lungs -> pulmonary veins-> L. Atrium -> Bi. Valve -> L. Ventricle -> aortic valve -> aorta -> body -> heart
What is the cause of angina?
Obstruction of coronary blood flow
Cause of MI
Sudden death of heart tissue from long-term obstruction of a coronary artery
Cause of congestive heart failure
Failure of either ventricle to eject blood properly
Tricuspid valve
Located between right atrium and right ventricle
Bicuspid valve
Located between left atrium and left ventricle
Pulmonary valve
Located between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
Aortic valve
Located between left ventricle and aorta
Pacemaker potential
The gradual depolarization of polarized tissue
Cause: slow inflow of Na without compensating outflow of K
Calcium-induced calcium release
Bringing calcium into a cell to release the calcium in the SR
Electrical excitation of the SA node
SA node -> atrial myocardium -> AV node -> AV bundle -> purkinje fibers -> ventricular myocardium
P-wave
Atrial depolarization
QRS-wave
Atrial repolarization
Ventricular depolarization
T-wave
Ventricular repolarization
Arrhythmia
Abnormal cardiac rhythm
Tachycardia
Heart beats too fast
> 100 BPM
Bradycardia
Heart beats too slow
<60 BPM
Ectopic Focci
Spontaneous firing somewhere other than the SA node
“Lub” sound
Tri upside and bicuspid valve closing at the same time
“Dub” sound
Aortic and pulmonary valves closing
Ventricular filling
Ventricles expand and fill with blood
Atria polarize
Contraction
Ventricles depolarize
Atria depolarize
Contraction begins
Ventricular Ejection
Ejection of blood
Ventricles begin repolarization
Relaxation
Full ventricular repolarization
Relaxation of heart muscles
Cardiac Output (CO)
Amount of blood ejected by ventricle in one minute
