CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM 1 PART 1 Flashcards
arteries or distributing vessels their main function is to distribute oxygenated blood under high pressure to the different organs of the body
arterial system
veins of collecting vessels they collect deoxygenated from the different organs of the body and to return blood to the heart
venous system
point of maximum impulse is located at the _______________
APEX BEAT
5th intercostal space left midclavicular line
between the venous and arterial systems are the smaller blood vessels that make up the microcirculation that would include arterioles, capillaries and venules
microcirculation
each pump is divided into _________: atrium and ventricle
two chambers
the two atria are separated by a band of connective tissues called ____________-
interatrial septum
in the ____________ this involves blood flow from the left heart but blood from the greater circulation will be collected by the veins and emptied into the left heart
systemic circulation
located between the atria and the ventricles
atrioventricular valves
located between the right atrium and right ventrcile
tricuspid valved
located between the left atrium and left ventricle
mitral/bicuspid valve
located between the ventricles and arteries
semilunar valves
triangular or cup like structures are made up of connective tissues
tricuspid valve has 3
mitral valve has 2
semilunar valves has 3
cusps
