Ch 15 Pt. 1 Flashcards
Nervous System
CNS- brain and spinal cord
PNS- everything else
Efferent division
Somatic nervous system: voluntary (skeletal muscle)
Autonomic Nervous system: involuntary (cardiac muscle, smooth muscle)
The heart Review:
-needed for blood flow
-2/3 lies on left side of chest cavity
-4 chambers: right left atria, right left ventricles
-right and left side separated by inter ventricular septum
-around 6000L output/day
Cardiac muscle (myocardium) -striated, involuntary
Intercalated discs:
Complex junctions connecting striations of cardiac muscle
-allows electrical activity to travel between cardiac muscle cells
Simplified Blood Flow
Body, Right atrium, Right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle
Ventricular Diastole
Ventricles relax and fill with blood
Ventricular Systole
Ventricles contract and push blood through
Arterial System Components
Aorta, arteries, arterioles
-all carry oxygenated blood, except pulmonary artery
Capillaries Review
-carry blood oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
Venous System Review
-venues, veins, inferior and superior vena cava
-all carry deoxygenated blood except pulmonary vein
Pulmonary Arteries carry:
Deoxygenated blood to the lungs
Pulmonary veins carry:
Oxygenated blood to heart
Full Blood Flow Review: with deoxy and oxygenated
- Sup/ Inf vena cava (de)
- Right atrium (de)
- Right AV valve (tricuspid) (de)
- Right Ventricle (de)
- Pulmonary Semi-Lunar (de)
- Pulmonary artery (de)
- Lungs (de to ox)
- Pulmonary Vein (ox)
- Left Atrium (ox)
- Left AV valve (bicuspid/ mitral) (ox)
- Left Ventricle (ox)
- Aortic Semi Lunar (ox)
- Aorta (ox)
- Arteries (ox)
- Capillaries (ox to de)
- Capillaries (de)
- Veins (de) -back to sup/ inf vena cava
Heart Valves Review
Valves open and close as heart contracts and relaxes
-allows blood to flow into ventricles and atria at alternate times
-allows one way flow into and out of ventricles (prevents backflow)
-malfunction of valves can affect heart function
Asystole
No heartbeat (ded)
