cardiovascular system Flashcards
aorta, arch
receives blood pumped from left ventricle
pulmonary trunk
receives blood pumped from right ventricle
aortic semilunar valve
allows/ direct blood flow from LV into aorta
pulmonary semilunar valve
allows/directs blood to flow into pulmonary trunk
tricuspid valve
allows/ directs blood to flow from right atrium to right ventricle
bicuspid (mitral) valve
allows/ directs blood to flow form left atrium to left ventricle
auricles (right and left)
expand to allow increased atrial blood volume
ligamentum arteriosum
remnant of fetal ductus arteriosus
chord tendineae
hold atrioventricular valves in place
papillary muscles
anchor chordae tendineae
superior vena cava
returns systemic blood to right atrium
inferior vena cava
returns systemic blood to right atrium
coronary arteries
serves heart muscle itself
cardiac veins
serves heart muscle itself
pulmonary veins left and right
carries blood from lungs to LA
pulmonary arteries left and right
carries blood form pulmonary trunk to lungs
septa. atrial and ventricular
divides heart longitudinally
pericardium
surrounds and protects heart
fossa ovalis
fetus: foramen ovale
fetal opening between atria
sinoatrial node
pacemaker; determines heart rate
atrioventricular node
conducts contraction impulses
bundle of His, left and right branches
conducts contraction impulses
Purkinje fibers
conducts contraction impulses
esophagus
food passageway to stomach
trachea
air passageway
left and right primary bronchi
air passageways to left and right lungs
all arteries
carry blood away from the heart
all veins
carry blood toward the heart
all chambers
RA,RV, LA,LV
pump blood
