Chap. 7 Cardiovascular Flashcards
The Atrium is known as the
Receivers
The Ventricles are know as the
Pumpers
What is systemic blood flow?
Out to the body
What side does blood flow start?
Right side- Pulmonary
The blood flow on the right side of the heart is oxygenated or deoxygentated?
Deoxygenated
The Left Side of the heart is what type of circulation?
Systemic
What happens to the left side of the heart with exercise and fatigue?
Hypertrophies
What muscle fiber is the heart muscle?
Type I
What is the heart muscle called?
Myocardium
What is the myocardium highly composed of?
Capillary density and Mitochondria
What are cardiac fibers connected by?
Intercalated discs
Gap junctions rapidly conduct what?
Action potentials
Desmosomes do what?
Hold cells together
What are the 3 characteristics for Skeletal muscles?
Large, long, multinucleated
What type of contractions are skeletal muscle?
Intermittent, voluntary
What happens with Calcium within skeletal muscle?
It is released from the SR
4 Characteristics with Myocardial cells: (Heart muscle)
Small, short, branches, one nucleus
What type of contractions does heart muscle or myocardial cells have?
Continuous, involuntary rhythmic contractions
What bring blood supply to the heart?
Coronary Arteries, Right to Right & Left to Left
What is the blood flow on the right side of the heart? (Slide 8)
Inferior & Superior Vena Cava, Right Atrium, Right Semilunar (Tricuspid Valve), Right Ventricle, Pulmonary Valve, Pulmonary Artery to LUNGS to oxygenate.
What is the blood flow on the LEFT side of the heart?
From lungs, pulmonary veins, Left Atrium, Mitral valve (Bicuspid Valve), Left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta to body.
What is the cardiac cycle?
All mechanical and electrical events during one heartbeat
What is Diastole?
Relaxation phase- chambers fill with blood- lasts 2x as long at systole
Systole is
Contraction phase
What happens during Ventricular Systole?
Ventricular pressure rises, “Lub”, SLV open, Blood is ejected, ESV
