cardiovascular ap Flashcards
where is the heart located within the body
mediastinum
three arteries that can be used to obtain a pulse
femoral, coccygeal, radial
the muscular structure that separates the right and left ventricles is called the interventricular
septum
when performing a blood pressure on a dog via doppler method, which reading will you get
systolic
the pacemaker of the heart is found in the left atrium (t/f)
false
the coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart
true
as discussed in class, you should feel a pulse beat for every heartbeat, when the pulse is missing this is called
pulse deficit
while obtaining an ECG you place which lead on the left front limb
black
the valves the prevent backflow form the arteries back into the ventricles are the ___ valves
semilunar
the amount of blood leaving the heart during one contraction is termed
stroke volume
what are the little cords of connective tissue that attach the free edges of an atrioventricular valve to the walls of a ventricle
chordae tendonae
does the left or right ventricle of the heart have the thicker muscle? Why?
left, b/c it has to pump oxygenated blood to the entire body
is the tricuspid valve located on the right or left side of the heart
right
the ____ and __ valves are aka semilunar valves
pulmonary ; aortic
what is the name for the wide cranial end of the heart where the arteries and veins enter and exit
base
what is the name for the caudal, pointed end of the heart which contains the left ventricle
apex
is the blood carrying blood away from the heart an afferent or efferent
efferent
is a blood vessel carrying blood toward the heart an afferent or efferent
afferent
what creates the 2 part sound of the heart beating
lub- 1st sound - created from the AV valves closing at the same time
dub - second sound - created from the semilunar valves closing at the same time
what is the pacemaker of the heart and where is it located
sinoatrial node, right atrium
what are the 4 conductors that make up the rapid conduction system for an impulse created by the hearts pacemaker
SA node, AV node, Bundle of his, purkinje fibers
