Ch25 Flashcards
pressure changes and valves control __ flow
blood
superior and inferior vena cava to RA to tricuspid valve to __ __
right ventricle
RV to __ ___to lungs for CO2/O2 exchange.
Pulmonary Valve
blood returns via pulmonary veins into ___ ___
left atrium
left atrium to aortic valve to aorta & coronary arteries then to the ___
body
the heart muscle
myocardium
supply oxygenated blood to the myocardium
coronary arteries
signficant obstruction of the coronary arteries reduces blood flow to the myocardium and decreases the ability of the heart to pump blood
Myocardial ischemia
Heart attack. Major or complete blockage leading to insufficient blood flow and death of part of the heart muscle
Myocardial Infarction
Even at rest, the heart muscle extracts ___% of the O2 delivered to it
75%
Heart’s natural pacemaker.
Initiates the heart beat. (60-100 bpm)
sinoatrial node (SA)
The bridge between the atria and the ventricles. Electrical signals are passed down from the atria to the ventricles through the AV node. 40-60 bpm
atrioventricular node (AV)
located top right atrium and spontaneously depolarize and intiate heart contractions
SA node
electrical: atrial depolarization
mechanical: atrial contraction
P wave
electrical: ventricular depolarization
mechanical: ventricular contraction
QRS wave
