Cardiovascular system Flashcards
The main organ in the cardiovascular system
HEART
Heart is found in what cavity?
Mediastinal cavity
How many liters of blood is pumped by a healhty person.
5-6 LITERS
Function of the heart
Pump blood throughout the body via arteries
the outermost layer of the heart that contains FATS
Pericardium
the thickest layer of the heart that contains CARDIAC MUSCLE
MYOCARDIUM
Endocardium is lined with?
Simple squamous
Natural fats in the body is produced by?
LIVER
What kind of fat is used by the heart?
Triglycerides
Triglycerides when used by the heart becomes?
ketone bodies
Frank-starling law stated?
increase stretching of cardiac muscle results in forceful contraction
Blood flow in the heart by the UNOXYGENATED PORTION
Right atrium > triscuspid valve> right ventricle> pulmonary valve > pulmonary artery > lungs
Blood flow in the heart by the OXYGENATED PORTION
Pulmonary vein > left atrium > mitral valve > left ventricle > aortic valve > aorta > ascending aorta > aortic arch> descending aorta (thoracic) > abdominal aorta > median sacral artery
AV valve on the right side
Tricuspid valve
one of semilunar valve with 2 leaflet
pulmonary valve
simulnar valve with 3 leaflets
Aortic valce
AV valve on the left side
Mitral valve
The only artery that caries unoxygenated blood
Pulmonary artery
What are the Semilunar valves?
Pulmonary and Aortic valve
What is the muscle found in the valves?
Papillary muscle
What structure refers to “heart strings”?
Chorda tendinae
What valve can be heard at the left of the sternal border of 5th intercostal space?
Tricuspid valve
What valve can be heard at the midclavicular ine in 5th intercostal space?
MITRAL valve
What valve can be heard at the right of the sternal border of 2nd intercostal space?
AORTIC valve
What valve can be heard at the left of the sternal border of 2nd intercostal space
PULMONARY valve
Closure of tricuspid valve and mitral valve produce what sound?
LUB SOUND
Closure of aortic valve and pulmonary valve produce what sound?
DUB sound
Heart sounds (Lub and Dub) also known as
murmurs
Which murmur is louder?
the LUB sound
What is AV valve for?
Prevent backflow of blood
Largest vein the body
Inferior Vena Cava
These arteries are located at the AORTIC valve.
Left and Right coronary arteries
Left and Right coronary arteries are branch of?
Ascending aorta
It is the main supply of the heart.
Left and Right coronary arteries
Arteries most commonly affected by Heart attack.
Coronary arteries
Blood vessel begins at the level of second sternocostal joint and ends at the T4 vertebra.
AORTIC ARCH
Cell present at the Aortic arch.
Baroreceptors
Branches of Aortic arch
Brachiocephalic > Right common carotid
>Right subclavian
Left common carotid
Left subclavian
