Q

Intercalated discs in cardiac muscle tissue purpose

A

Intercalated discs allow atrium or ventricles to contract simultaneously, intercalated discs allow fast electrical transmission between cells

Q

Structure that carries the electrical impulse from the AV node toward the apex of the heart

A

Atrioventricular bundle

25
Q

What structure fans out from the end of the AV bundle to the wall of the ventricles

A

Purkinje fibers

26
Q

External structure that marks the separation of the atria from the ventricles

A

Coronary sulcus

27
Q

What structure returns blood from the lungs to the heart

A

Pulmonary veins

28
Q

What structure sends the electrical impulse to stimulate the ventricles to contract

A

Atrioventricular node

29
Q

What structure separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle

A

Interventricular septum

30
Q

What structure takes oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body

31
Q

Cardiac output

A

Describes the amount of blood ejected by each ventricle each minute

32
Q

Stroke volume

A

Describes the amount of blood ejected from the ventricle per beat

33
Q

Preload

A

Describes the amount of tension in the myocardium of the ventricular wall

34
Q

Cardiac reserve

A

Describes the difference between the cardiac output of a heart at rest and the maximum cardiac output the heart can achieve

35
Q

Afterload

A

Describes the pressure in the pulmonary trunk and aorta during diastole

36
Q

Conducting artery

A

Carries blood away from the heart

37
Q

Anastomoses circulation

A

Involves vessels merging together

38
Q

What vein drains the lower body, essentially everything below the diaphragm

A

Inferior vena cava

39
Q

Tunica interna

A

Blood vessel layer composed of simple squamous epithelial tissue and fibrous blood issue

40
Q

Which chambers in the heart pump blood

A

Ventricles

41
Q

Which chambers in the heart receive blood

42
Q

Electrocardiogram

A

Diagnostic test that records the heart’s electric activity

43
Q

Ultrasound

A

Diagnostic tool that uses sound waves to visualize the heart

44
Q

Varicose veins

A

Disorder caused by dysfunctional valves in the veins that allow the back flow and pooling of blood, resulting in enlarged veins

45
Q

Anatomical structures of the heart combining forms

A

Ventricul/o (ventricle), pericardi/o (pericardium), atri/o (atrium)

46
Q

Arter/o

47
Q

Atri/o

48
Q

Tachy/

49
Q

Atrial systole

A

Atria depolarize and contract together creating decreased volume and higher pressure in the atria than the ventricles

50
Q

Ventricular diastole

A

Ventricles then repolarize and relax

51
Q

Adaptation that allows the heart to have oxygen readily available

A

Cardiac cells are rich in myoglobin

52
Q

Equation for calculating cardiac output

A

CO = HR x SV

53
Q

Ven/o

54
Q

Systole

A

Refers to contraction

55
Q

Diastole

A

Refers to relaxation

56
Q

Blood vessel that has valves to prevent back flow of blood

57
Q

Which wave on the ECG shows the depolarization of the atria

58
Q

Which wave on the ECG shows the depolarization of the ventricles

59
Q

Which wave on the ECG shows the repolarization of the ventricles
