Cardiovascular System
heart and blood vessels-circulate blood to every cell in body
54
Location of Heart
Thoracic cavity-Pericardial Sac/Parietal Pericardium
55
Pericardial Cavity
Space enclosed by Pericardial Sac-Filled by the heart/fluid
56
Epicardium/Visceral Pericardium
Thinner membrane forms outer surface of hrt
57
Myocardium
Cardiac muscle-Middle layer and bulk of heart wall-creates contractions
58
Endocardium
Thin inner lining-lines the four chambers of hrt
59
Atria/Atrium
Two thin-walled superior chambers of heart that receive blood from veins
60
Ventricles
Two thick-walled chambers that push blood out of hrt through arteries
61
Atrioventricular Valves
Maintain one-way blood flow from atria to ventricles (L-Mitral and Bicuspid/R-Tricuspid)
62
Right Side of Heart
Consists of Pulmonary Trunk and Tricuspid Valve (Lungs)
63
Left Side of Heart
Consists of Aorta and Bicuspid/Mitral Valve (Body)
64
Pulmonary Circulation
Blood circulation associated with lungs
65
Systemic Circulation
Blood circulation to body-distributed by aorta and returned by veins
66
Coronary Circulation
Small branch of aorta carries blood to heart-localized circulation of heart
67
Cardiac Cycle
Rhythmic pulsation of heart
68
Systole
Contraction phase-blood pushed out
69
Diastole
Relaxation phase-blood absorbed
70
Cardiac Output
Measurement of volume of blood entering systemic circulation by way or aorta with each heartbeat in one minute
71
Blood vessels (3 Types)
Transport blood throughout body (arteries, veins, and capillaries)
72
Layers of Arteries and Veins
Endothelium (inner), smooth muscle (mid), connective tissue (outer)
73
Capillaries
Composed of one small layer of cells-exchange of substances btw blood and body cells (CO2, Oxygen, Nutrients)
