cardiovascular system Flashcards
Deoxygenated blood process
Comes from inferior/superior venca cava –> first chamber/right atrium –> second chamber/right ventricle –> pulmonary artery –> lungs
Oxygenated blood process
lungs–> come back to heart through pulmonary veins –> left atrium –> left ventricle –> new oxygenated blood pumped back out to the whole body through aorta
Ticuspid valve
separates atria and ventricles
Pulmonary valve
separates pulmonary artery with left ventricle
Biscuspid valve
separates left atrium and left ventricle
aortic valve separates
aorta and left ventricle
why are valves important
to prevent back flow and to keep presssure levels in sync
Interventricular septum sparates two ___
ventricles
which ventricle has a lot more muscle since its pumping the blood to all places
left ventricle
how to read heart rate through ECG
Count the squares of interval = x
300/x = beats per minute
Tachycardia #?
fast heart rate
> 100 bpm
Bradycardia #?
slow heart rate
< 60 bpm
normal heart rate
60-100 bpm
Arrythmia
problem with rate/rhythm of heart beat (tachycardia, bradycardia)
bundle of His
bundle of cardiac muscle fibers conducting electical impulses that regulate the heartbeat
