Cardiac Flashcards
Arteries & veins =
closed circuit
arteries
take blood away from ♡
“a-away”
Arteries bring
oxygen & nutrients to all of our cells of body
Veins take
blood to the ♡
4 chambers
ventricles on bottom
atrium on top
Veins that bring blood back to body
Superior vena cava & inferior vena cava
SV & IV cava both
going into R atrium
R ventricle
to lungs thru pulmonary artery
blood thru pulmonary arteries are going to
get oxygenated then return to pulmonary veins
Blood goes into Left
atrium-left ventricle (oxygenated blood)-then back to body thru aorta
♡ is sending
blood upwards & downwards
Values of heart
tricuspid valve
pulmonary valve
aortic valve
pumping phase, contraction S1
Systole
Cardiac cycle events occur in both R & L side of ♡ but
same events
occurs slightly later in R side
Pressure in R side is lower
S1 happens when:
Ventricle pressure is increasing
mitral valve & tricuspid valve to close
filling phase, relaxation of ventricles S2
Diastole
Pressure is always
higher in LEFT side
need more pressure to send thru aorta to entire body
When ventricle is empty
Pressure is decreased (it got rid of blood)
When ventricle is empty
- Pulmonary valve & aortic value are going to close
- Then S2 the second sound you will hear (dub)
- Ventricles are relaxing, blood is going to fill the ventricles
Autonomic nervous system controls
rate & strength of each contraction
The atria & ventricles work on electrical impulses”
always need electrical impulses to have ♡ work/contract
Increases rate/speed
sympathetic (adrenergic)
decreases (electrical impulses)
parasympathetic (cholinergic)
