Cardiovascular Flashcards
Heart
Muscular organ
Bw 2 lungs in mediating
2 atria and 2 ventricle
Ventricle-more thick
SV node on
Right atrium
SV node
Produce cardiac Impulse
And AV node conduct it to ventricle
2 venacava
SVC-venous blood from head,neck and upper limbs
IVC-venous blood from lower parts
Oxygenated blood
Arterial blood
Rightside
Venous blood(right atrium)-pulmonary artery-lungs-arterial blood(left atrium)
Svvalves in both sides
Tricuspid in right side
Bicuspid/mitral valve on left side
Layers of walls of heart
Outer pericardium
Middle myocardium
Inner endocardium
Pericardium
Outer covering of heart
2 layers-outer fibrous as tunica advertising,protect heart from overstretching
Inner-serous
Made of flattened epithelial cells
Outer parietal pericardium -lines fibrous layer
Inner visceral pericardium/epicardium-lines surface of myocardium
Pericardial space
Space bw parietal and visceral
3 muscle fibres inMyocardium
-forming contractile unit of the heart
-forming pacemaker that initiate impulse for contraction
-forming conducive system through which impulse are conducted
Endocardium
Inner layer
Thin,smooth,glistening membrane
Single layer of endothelial cells
Actions of heart
Chronotropic
Inotropic
Dromotropic
Bathmotropic
Actions of heart
Chronotropic-Frequency of heart beat or heart rate
Increase or decrease
*Inotropic-force of contraction of heart
+ve increase in force
-ve Decrease in force
*dromotropic-conduction of impulse through heart
+ve increase in velocity
-ve Decrease in velocity
*bathmotropic-excitability of cardiac muscle
Blood vessels
Arterial-aorta,arteries, arterioles
Venous-venules,veins,venacavae
Wall of aorta and arteries
Tunica adventitia-formed of connective tissue
Tunica media-smooth muscles
Tunica intima-endothelium
Circulation
Systemic
Pulmonary
Systemic Circulation
Greater circulation
Blood-through different blood vessels-aorta,larger arteries,smaller arteries, arterioles-arterioles into capillary-venules smaller veins,larger veins,venacava
Oxygenated or arterial blood from heart to tissues
Deoxygenated or venous blood from tissues to heart
