Cadivascular test Flashcards
what is cardiac output
the L/min that a ventricle pumps
where does blood go from the right ventricle
pulmonary arteries/trunk
What vessel brings back blood from the lungs
pulmonary veins
Where do the pulmonary veins bring blood
the left atrium
which is thicker left or right ventricle
left
what is the name of the valve that separates the left atrium and ventricle
bicuspid valve, mitral valve
what is the name of the valve that separates the right atrium and ventricle
tricuspid valve
what is the name of the tendons that attach to the valves
chordae tendiane
which muscles regulate the tension of the chordae tendinae
papillary muscle
what is the name of the valve that separates the left ventricle from the aorta
aortic valve
what is the name of the valve that separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery
pulmonary valve
what are the two branches of the right coronary artery
marginal branch, posterior intraventricular branch
what are the two branches of the left coronary artery
circumflex branch and anterior interventricular branch
which coronary vein drains the anterior heart
great cardiac vein
which coronary vein drains the posterior heart
middle cardiac vein
where do the great cardiac vein and middle cardiac vein drain into
the coronary sinus
where does the coronary sinus drain into
the right atrium
characteristics of cardiac cells
branched striated fibers with one nuclei
what is branching good for
allows the electrical impulse to travel in all directions
what are gap junctions
small gaps in cardiac cells that allow for electrical impulses to travel to each cell
where are gap junctions located
in intercalated discs
what are the three types of cardiac cells
small autorhythimic, large, intermediate
what cells are the av and sa nodes made out of
autorhythmic cells
which cardiac cell is good for fast conduction of electrical signals and is distributed in the inner wall of ventricle
Large
which type of cell comprises most of the heart muscle
intermiadte
what is the name of the hearts pacemaker
SA node
what does the p wave represent
atrial depolarization
what does the PQ interval represent
conduction time for atrial to ventricular excitation
