Cardiovascular system Flashcards
Functions of the heart
1.Generating blood pressure
2.Routing blood
3.Regulating blood supply
true or false, The heart consists of TWO ATRIA and TWO VENTRICLES
True
a doubled-walled sac around the heart composed of
Pericardium
(found in the pericardium) superficial
Fibrous pericardium
(found in the pericardium) a deep two layer
Serous pericardium
Layers of the Heart
EME
Epicardium
Myocardium
Endocardium
Provides protection against the friction of rubbing
organs
Epicardium
Cardiac muscle layer forming the bulk of the heart
Myocardium
Endothelial layer over crisscrossing, interlacing layer of connective tissue
Endocardium
RECEIVING chambers of the heart
Atria
DISCHARGING chambers of the heart
Ventricles
Exits the RIGHT VENTRICLE carrying blood to the PULMONARY circulatory
Pulmonary Trunk
Exits the LEFT VENTRICLE carrying blood to the SYSTEMIC circulation
Aorta
Each atrium has a flap called an
Auricle
Separates the atria from the ventricles
coronary sulcus
separate the right and left ventricles
interventricular grooves
The ____ separates the ATRIA FROM EACH OTHER
Interatrial septum
Separates the ventricles
Interventricular septum
Anchor AV valves to papillary muscles
Chordae tendinae
Separates the RIGHT ATRIUM and the ventricle
Tricuspid valve
Separates the LEFT ATRIUM and the ventricle
Bicuspid valve
Prevent backflow of blood intro the ventricles
Semilunar valves
Lies between the left ventricle and the aorta
Aortic semilunar valve
Lies between the right ventricle and the aorta
Pulmonary semilunar valve
is contraction of the atria
Atrial systole
is contraction of the ventricles
Ventricular Systole
is relaxation of the atria
Atrial diastole
is relaxation of the ventricles
Ventricular Diastole
(True or false)Heart sounds (lub-dup) are associated
with closing of heart valves
True
(true or false) First sound occurs as AV valves close and
signifies beginning of systole
TRUE
(True or False)Second sound occurs when SL valves close
at the beginning of ventricular diastole
True
is a summative
description of all the events that occur
during one single heartbeat.
