CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Flashcards
consists of the heart, blood, and the blood vessels
CVS
aortic arterial pressure rises to its highest point
systole
aortic arterial pressure falls to its lowest point
diastole
initiated by depolarization of the sino-atrial node, contraction is spontaneous
heart
mammalian heart 4 chambers
upper: 2atria
lower: 2 ventricles
prevents backflow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium during ventricular systole
A-V valve or atrio-ventricular valve
prevent backflow of the blood from the blood vessels into the ventricles during diastole
aortic and pumonary valves
valve on the right
tricuspid
valve on the left
bicuspid (mitral)
cardiac pacemaker
sino-atrial node (SA node)
caused by the closure of mitral and tricuspid valve
first sound (low and slight): “lub”
caused by the closure of ortic and pulmonary valves just after the end of the ventricular systole
second sound (shorter and high pitch) “dub”
sequence
atrial systole - ventricular systole - diastole (relaxation of heart muscles)
arterial palpation of a heartbeat;
wave of systolic pressure w/c starts at the heart and spreads throughout the arterial network;
occurs due to the filling of the arteries from the left venticles w/ oxygenated blood during systole
determine to measure the rate or heartbeat
pulse or pulse wave
pulse rate per minute and location in feeling of artery in carabao and cattle
54 - external maxillary artery lower jaw; and at the coccygeal artery at the base of the underneath of tail
pulse rate per minute and location in feeling of artery in goat
78 - femoral artery
