Cardiovascular system Flashcards
Basic Divisions of the Cardiovascular
- Heart
- Two closed circuits of Blood Vessels:
a) Pulmonary circuit
b) Systemic circuit
a muscular pump consisting two receiving
chambers (atria) and two pumping chambers
(ventricles)
Heart
- circulation of the blood from the heart going
to the lungs to get the oxygen and throw the
carbon dioxide and back to the heart. - Between the heart and lungs
Pulmonary circuit (Two closed circuits of Blood Vessels)
- From the heart to be distributed to the
different body system. - Between heart and different body system
Systemic circuit (Two closed circuits of Blood Vessels)
Blood Vessels (3)
- Arteries
- Capillaries
- Veins
- Carrying oxygenated blood, except pulmonary arteries that will carry unoxygenated blood.
- Reddish color
Arteries (Blood Vessels)
- Exchange of gases and giving the oxygen to the tissues and getting the carbon dioxide from the tissues.
Capillaries (Blood Vessels)
- Carrying unoxygenated blood, except
pulmonary veins that will carry oxygenated
blood. - Blueish color
Veins (Blood Vessels)
- is a four-chambered, hollow, muscular organ lying between the lungs in the middle mediastinum.
- it is about the size of a man’s fist, and in the normal male weighs approximately 250-300gm - Male/200-275gm – Female.
- the heart is shaped like an inverted cone, with its apex pointed downward and to the left base
upwards and to the right - its apex anteriorly and inferiorly to the left at 5th ICS, MCL (ICS – intercostal space, MCL – mid clavicular line)
Heart
Covering of the Heart
- Pericardium
a) Fibrous pericardium
b) Serous Pericardium
1. Parietal pericardium
2. Visceral Pericardium (Epicardium)
What is Pericardium (Covering of the Heart)
It is the covering of the heart and an invaginated sac
- Tough covering
- Provide protection and anchors the heart into the mediastinum
Fibrous pericardium (Covering of the Heart)
Under the Serous Pericardium:
- Outer layer of the serous membrane lines the fibrous coat
- That will line the fibrous pericardium
- adherent to the fibrous pericardium
Parietal Pericardium (Covering of the Heart)
Under the Serous Pericardium:
- Inner layer of the serous membrane
- Outermost layer of the wall of the heart
Visceral Pericardium / Epicardium (Covering of the Heart)
- filled with pericardial fluid that will serve as lubricant, to prevent friction between the parietal and visceral pericardium during contraction during contraction of the heart.
Pericardial Cavity
Walls of the heart
- Epicardium
- Myocardium
- Endocardium
- External/outermost layer, the visceral layer
of the serous pericardium

contractile fibers

- dome-shaped upward deflection
T-wave (Electrocardiogram)
Circulation of the Blood
- Unoxygenated blood from the upper part will drain to the superior vena cava; the lower part – inferior vena cava = will drain to the right atrium
- It will pass to the tricuspid valve to go to the right ventricle
- From the Right ventricle, go to the lungs through the pulmonary artery
- From the lungs it will get oxygenated blood
- Oxygenated blood from the lungs - will go back to the heart through the pulmonary veins
- Goes to the left atrium, the blood passes to the mitral valve to go to the left ventricle and will go to the systemic circulation through aorta
- Simple squamous epithelium
- For easier diffusion of substances
- The RBC will carry the oxygen and it will be
passing to the capillaries to be distributed to the tissues. And the tissue will dispose the carbo dioxide, it will be circulating back to the heart and going to the lungs for expulsion to exhalation.
