Q

Epidcardium

A

Visceral layer of serious pericardium

23
Q

Myocardium

A

circular bundles of contractile cardiac muscle cells

24
Cardiac skeleton
crisscrossing interlacing layers of connective tissues
25
Endocardium
innermost layer and is continous with endothelial lining of blood
26
Cardiac Skeleton
Anchors cardiac muscle Supports great vessels and valves Limits spread of action potentials to specific path
27
Atria
the recieves chamber- small thin walled chamber
28
Auricles
Appendages that incease atrial volume
29
Ventricles
The discharging chamber
30
Right Ventricle
most of the anterior surface
31
Left Ventricle
posteriorinferior surface
32
4 Chambers of the Heart
Right Atrium - receives blood from the vena cava Left Atrium - receives blood from pulmonary veins Right ventricle - Pump blood into pulmonary trunk left ventricle - slide into the aorta
33
Veins
Deoxygenated blood back to the heart
33
Arteries
Oxygenated blood away from the heart
34
Capilliaries
Connected to veins and arteries
35
Two Cylces of contraction
Systole Diastole
36
Blood
Carry oxygenated and nutrients to cell and cardon dioxide and waste away from the cell
37
Systole
Contraction of the heart. Blood is being pumped out of the heart into the arteries
38
Doxygenated blood process
veins , right atrium, right ventricle, lungs
39
Diastole
Relaxation of the heart. Blood is going into the heart to the chambers
40
Oxygenated Blood process
Lungs, Left atrium, left ventricle, and aorta bod
41
The heart
Composed of three layers, epicardium myocardium endocardium
42
Fucntion of Cardiovascular System
Delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cell of the body and removes waste, Maintains blood pressure Regulate Temperature Maintainig pH Transporting hormones fighting infections, aiding in digestion, and assiting in repairing damaged tissues
43
Cardium
Epicardium protects the heart and secrete lubricant serous fluid Myocardium contracts to pump blood and middle layer of muscular Endocardium line is the chambers and valves and is innermost layer
44
Tricuspid
Right atrioventricular prevents backflow into the HM when the ventricles contract
45
Endothelial cell
Thin inner lining a blood vessel Lines the entire circulatory system, including the interior Compose a single layer squamous endothelial cell
46
What role does Endothelial in vasoconstruction?
Releasing peptides called endothelins the cause smooth muscles within walls to contract
47
Systolic pressure
Refer to the first number or maximum pressure that is exerted through systolic Vitals contract for some blood into aorta and pulmonary trunk
47
Sensory neuron
Detect changes in temperature and send impulse to hypothalamus signal To the effectors surrounding smooth muscles
48
Circulatory system
Associated with transport, oxygen nutrients, hormones, ions influence throughout the body as well as removal of metabolic waste
49
Role thermoregulation
Temperature average 98.6 Heat exchange occurs surface of skin where blood constricts response to signaling from the brain
50
Diastolic pressure
As blood enters artery elastic wall, stretch, increase volume and return to normal diameter Vitals are relax and pressure is at a lowest point
51
What is the normal blood pressure for an adult?
120/80 mm Hg High blood pressure can damage walls above vessels and increase heart disease, heart failure, and stroke
52
Systemic circuit
Carries blood from muscular left ventricle to the aorta which gives rise to the arteries and branch into arterials
