cardiovascular Flashcards
pulmonary circuit
pump blood from heart to lung
systemic circuit
pump blood from heart to body
mediastinum
thoracic cavity with heart, esophagus, trachea, vessels, nerves and membranes surrounding heart
flow of blood in the heart
right atrium
tricuspid valve
right ventricle
pulmonary artery
lung
left atrium
mitral valve
left ventricle
aortic valve
aorta
body
capillaries
tiny blood vessels where o2 and nutrients can move through easy
- where shit traded for co2
arteries vs. veins
both
- tunica externa, tunica media, and tunic interna
artery
- small lumen, thick media, thick outer wall
vein
- have valves to prevent blood flow away fr heart
tunica media
smooth muscle layer or veins and arteries
- regulate blood pressure and flow
diastole
relaxation of heart chamber(filling)
systole
contraction of heart chambers(pumping)
cardiac cycle
rest phase(ventricular diastole)
- atria and ventricle in diastole
- tricuspid/bicuspid valves open
- pulmonary/aortic valves closed
- 70% of blood moved
atrial systole(ventricular diastole)
- atria are open and push blood into ventricles
- tricuspid/bicuspid open
- pulmonary/aortic closed
- 30% blood moved
ventricular systole(atrial diastole)
- pressure in ventricles increase
- tricuspid/bicuspid closes
- pulmonary/aortic open and blood pushed out
lub
first sound
ventricular systole
closure of atrioventricular valves
dub
second sound
ventricular diastole
closure of semilunar valves
ECG
electrocardiogram
show electrical events occur in heart
node
area of cardiac muscle generate action potential
sa node (sinoatrial)
- right atrium
- pacemaker cells
- 60 - 100 bpm
av node (atrioventricular)
- 40-60 bpm
- secondary pacemaker
p wave
- p wave
- atrial depolarization before atrial contraction
qrs complex
- ventricular depolarization
- also atrial repolarization
electrical path of heart
sa node (atrial contraction)
av node (ventricular contraction)
bundle of his
left and right bundle branches
purkinjie fibers
t wave
- ventricular repolarization
