cardiovascular function a&p Flashcards
circulatory system
- pulmonary circulation
- systematic circulation
pulmonary circulation
focuses on gas exchange with lungs
systemic circulation
oxygenated blood pumped to body
the heart structure and function
-located in mediastinum
consists of three layers
- epicardium
- myocardium
- endocardium
membranous sac
- pericardium
- pericardial fluid
epicardium
outer most layer
myocardium
middle
muscle fibers
contraction
endocardium
chambers & blood vessels
pericadium
double layer sac
pericardial fluid
50ml
prevent friction with outer layer and sac
four chambers
right/left atrium
right/left ventricle
right/left atrium
top 2
thinner less muscular
receiving chambers
right/left ventricle
lower
muscular
discharging chambers: blood leaves the heart
rigth side of heart
right is thicker and low pressure
left side of heart
high-pressure system
values
tricuspid
pulmonic
mitiral
aortic
tricupsid
right atrium and ventricle
pulmonic
right ventricle and pulmonary
mitral
left atrium and ventricle
aortic
left ventricle and aorta
blood leaves for rest of body
atrioventicle
separates atria from ventricle
semilunar valves
they separate lower portion from artery and lung
coronary artieres
left and right
provide oxygenated blood
point of maximal impulse
- apex of heart
- midclavicular 5th intercostal space
contraction of heart
- sa node
- av node
- bundle of his
- right and left bundle branches
- Purkinje fibers
= one complete cardiac cycle
