CH 19 Cardio Vascular System Flashcards
Cardiac Muscle Cells
Short, Single Nucleus, Branching Serrated by Intercalated discs
Parietal Pericardium
Serous membrane not directly touching heart
Visceral
Serous membrane directly touching heart
Pericardial Cavity
is the space between parietal and visceral pericardial tissues; contains small fluid.
Serous Pericardium
is a sac-like tissue covering heart.
Cardiac tamponade
condition when heart movement is restricted
Epicardium
Outer layer of heart wall
Myocardium
middle, muscular layer
Endocardium
Inner layer exposed to blood
Atrioventricular Valves
Tricuspid/Mitral
Semilunar Valves
Pulmonary/Aortic
Right Coronary Artery
Supplies blood to R Atrium and posterior ventricles
Left Coronary Artery
Supplies blood to L Atrium and anterior ventricles septum
Atherosclerosis
Lipid deposits in arteries
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Heart attack
Diastole
heart relaxes and pushes blood into places
Auscultation
sound of heart valves closing
S1
“Lubb’’ sound Ventricular contraction , produced by closure of AV Valves
S2
“dupp” sound produced by closure of semilunar valves
Cardiac Output
amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle
Cardiac Output Formula
Co = HR x Sv
Pacemaker
cells that control the rhythm of the heart
Sinoatrial (SA) node
embedded in posterior wall of R. atrium
Internodal pathways
distribute signal to both atria
