gas exchange process
deoxygenated
deoxygenated blood- transmitted via veins to superior and inferior vena cava to R atrium
sent to lungs from R ventricle via pulmonary artery
gas exchange process
oxygenated
transmitted from lungs to L atrium via pulmonary vein
sent to body from L ventricle via aorta
blood pumped from atria to ventricles
diastole
blood is pumped from ventricles to body
systole
change from polarized to contraction
depolarization
recharging from contracted state to resting state
repolarization
resting state of myocardial cell
polarization
NSR
normal sinus rhythm
ventricular contraction sends blood to lungs
pulmonary circulation
ventricular contraction sends blood to body
systemic circulation
