Cardiorespiratory System Flashcards
Cardiorespiratory System includes…
cardiovascular and respiratory systems (heart and lungs)
The cardiovascular and respiratory systems provide..
the tissues of the HMS (human muscular system) with oxygen, nutrients, protective agents and a means to remove waste products
Cardiovascular system is composed of (3)
the heart, blood, and blood vessels
The heart is composed of
4 chambers
2 Atrium
2 Ventricles
Atrium
top of the heart
blood enters the heart here
Right Atrium CO2 rich blood
Left Atrium O2 rich blood
Ventricle
bottom of the heart blood leave the heart here Right Ventricle CO2 rich blood pumps blood to the lungs Left Ventricle O2 rich blood pumps blood to the body only receives blood from the atrium can not receive from anywhere else
AV Valves
Atrioventricular Valves
trap doors
Tricuspid and Mitral (separate atrium and ventricular)
prevent back flow during systole
Systole
Ventricular contraction
diastole
ventricular relaxation
Aortic Valve
prevent back flow during diastole
semilunar
this valve leads to the Aorta which send blood to the body
(left side of the heart)
Pulmonary Valve
prevent back flow during diastole
semilunar
this valve leads to the pulmonary artery which sends blood to the lungs
(right side of the heart)
Cardiac Muscle Contraction
Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
Atrioventricular Node (AV Node)
Sympathetic Nervous System
Parasympathetic Nervous System
SA Node
Sinoatrial Node BEAT! pacemaker initiates heart beat top of the heart
AV Node
Atrioventricular Node WAIT! Delays signal from SA node to AV bundle sends signal to the ventricles causes systole bottom of the heart
Sympathetic Nervous System
causes heart to beat faster
