ch 20 test Flashcards
collects blood from systemic circuit
right atria
pumps blood to pulmonary circuit
right ventricle
collects blood from pulmonary circuit
left atria
pumps blood into systemic circuit
left ventricle
visceral pericardium
inner layer of pericardium
parietal paricardium
outer layer that forms inner layer of paricardial sac
coronary sulcus
divides atria and ventricles
anterior and posterior interventricular sulcus
seperate left and right ventricles, contain blood vessels and cardiac muscle
epicardium
outer layer, visceral pericardium, covers the heart
atrioventricular valves (AV valves)
connect right atrium to right ventricle and left atrium to left ventricle
Blood pressure closes valve cusps during ventricular contraction
Papillary muscles tense chordae tendineae to prevent valves from swinging into atria
right atrium vessels
superior vena cave, inferior vena cava, and coronary sinus
superior vena cava
recieves blood from head, neck, upper limbs, and chest
inferior vena cava
recieves blood from trunk, viscera, and lower limbs
foramen ovale
Before birth, is an opening through interatrial septum
Connects the two atria
Seals off at birth, forming fossa ovalis
Pectinate muscles
Contain prominent muscular ridges
On anterior atrial wall and inner surfaces of right auricle
