cardiovascular system and exercise Flashcards
the two linked circuits in the human circulation is
pulmonary and systemic circuts
what does the pulmonary circulation do
transports blood to and from the lungs then picks up oxygen and delivers carbon dioxide for exhalation
what does the systemic circulation do
transports oxygenated blood to every tissue then picks up deoxygenated blood and coo2 to the heart
the right part of the heart receives blood from where and takes blood to where
venous system
lungs
the left part of the heart receives oxygenated blood from where and pumps to where
lungs
tissue
what is found on the posterior and superior part of the heart
base
what is found on the anterior and inferior part of the heart
apex
what are the four cardiac tissue of the heart
pericardium
epicardium
endocardium
myocardium
what are the heart chambers and valves
right atrium
right ventricle
left atrium
left ventricle
functions of each of the chambers and valves
right atrium…… they recieve blood from the inferior and superior vena cava
left atrium….. recieves oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary vein
right ventricle…. takes blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery
left ventricle ,,,, takes blood to the whole body through the aorta
between the two ventricle is a second septum known as
interventricular septum
the septum btw the atria and ventricles is known as
atrioventricular septum
what are the semilunar valves
the valves at the openings that lead to the pulmonary trunk and aorta
the types of valves
aortic valve
mitral or bicuspid
pulmonary
tricuspid
describe the artries and its function
the largest most elastic and muscular
takes away o2 blood from the heart to the atrioles
