Chap 11 Cardiovascular System Flashcards
Arteries:
Are the vessels that lead away from the heart.
Artery:
- Outer layer
- Muscle layer
- Elastic layer
- Inner layer
- Endothelium
Veins
Have thinner walls than arteries and move deoxygenated blood toward the heart from the tissues.
Vein:
- Outer layer
- Muscle layer
- Inner layer
- Valve : van tim
- Endothelium : mang trong
Capillaries:
Are the smallest vessels. They form the point of exchange for oxygen and nutrients into body cells and waste products coming from body cells
Patent is a term that means “open”
Capillary:
- endothelium
Arterioles
Smaller branches of arteries
Venules
Small vein that carry waste-filled blood back to the heart.
Tricuspid valve
Van ba la
( cusps are flaps of the valves):
between the right atrium and right ventricle
Pulmonary valve:
Between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery.
Van phoi
Mitral valve
Between the left atrium and left ventricle
- 20% of females have defects here-etiology unknown
Aortic valve
Between the left atrium and aorta.
Two phases of the heartbeat:
- Diastole: relaxation
- Systole: contraction
+ The diastole-systole cardiac cycle occurs between 70 to 80 times per minute ( 100,000 times per day).
+ The heart pumps 3 oz of blood with each contraction. This means that about 5 quarts are pumped per minute (75 gallons/hour and about 2000 gallons/day)
Heart sound
Closure of valves associated with sounds “ lubb-dubb, lubb-dubb”
- lubb: closure of the tricuspid and mitral valves at the beginning of systole
- dubb: closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves at the end of systole
- murmur: an abdominal heart sound caused by improper valve closure
- > sounds like a swooshing noise
Cardiovascular system:
Delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells of body tissue
- Heart ( muscular pump)
- Blood vessels ( fuel line and transportation network)
Blood pressure:
- Blood pressure: the force that exerts on arterial wall.
- Measured using a sphygmomanometer.
- expressed as a fraction:
Systolic pressure/ diastolic pressure
Ex: 120/80 mm Hg - Hypertension (high blood pressure): when BP>140/90 mm Hg
Aorta
The largest artery in the body.
Apex of the heart
The lower tip of the heart
Artery
The largest type of blood vessel; carries blood away from the heart to al parts of the body
Atrioventricular bundle (bundle of his)
Specialized muscle fibers connecting the atria with the ventricles and transmitting electrical impulses between them.
Atrioventricular node (AV node)
Specialized tissue in the wall between atria;
electrical impulses pass from pacemaker through AV node and bundle of His toward ventricles.
Atrium
Pl.: atria
One of two upper chambers of the heart
Capillary
The smallest blood vessel
Carbon dioxide Co2
Waste gas released by body cells, transported via veins to the heart, and then to lungs for exhalation
Deoxygenated blood
Oxygen-poor blood
Diastole
Relaxation phase of the heartbeat
Electrocardiogram
Record of the electricity flowing through the heart
Endocardium
Inner lining of the heart
Endothelium
Innermost lining of blood vessels
Mitral valve
Valve between the left atrium and left ventricle; bicuspid valve
Myocardium
Muscular, middle layer of the heart
Normal sinus rhythm
Heart rhythm originating in sinoatrial node with resting rate of 60-100beats/min
Oxygen O2
Gas carried by the blood from the lungs to the heart to be pumped via arteries to all body cells
Pacemaker ( sinoatrial node-SA)
Specialized nervous tissue in the right atrium that begins the heartbeat.
Patent
Open
Pericardium
Double-layered membrane surrounding the heart.
Pulmonary artery
Artery carrying oxygen-poor blood from the heart to lungs
Pulmonary valve
Valve positioned between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
Pulmonary vein
Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart
Pulse
The beat of the heart as felt through the walls of the arteries
Septum
Pl.: septa
A partition or wall dividing a cavity, such as that between the right and left atria and right and left ventricles
Sinoatrial node
SA node
The pacemaker of the heart
Sphygmomanometer
An instrument to measure blood pressure
Systemic circulation
Flow of blood from body tissue to the heart and back
Systole
The contraction phase of the heartbeat
Thrombus
Blood clot (DVT if in lower extremity)
Tricuspid valve
Located between the right atrium and right ventricle; has three leaflets or cusps
Valve
A structure in veins or in the heart that temporarily closes an opening so blood flows in only on direction
Vein
A thin-walled vessels that carries blood from body tissues and lungs back to the heart;
Contains valves to prevent the backflow of blood-VEINS have VALVES
Vena cava
Pl.: venae cavae
The largest vein in the body;
Superior and inferior venae cavae return blood to the right atrium of heart
Ventricle
One of two lower chambers of the heart
Venule
A small vein
