Chapter 10 HW Flashcards
Arteriole is what type of artery
Resistance
Right atrium
Blood enters into this heart structure from the superior and inferior vena cavae
Left atrium
Blood enters into when it returns to the heart from the lungs
Aortic valve
Blood is forced through this when leaving the left ventricle
Left ventricle
Blood leaves the left atrium and enters this chamber of the heart
Bicuspid valve
Blood leaves the left atrium through this valve
Aorta
Blood leaves the left ventricle and travels to this structure
Tricuspid valve
Blood leaves the right atrium and passes through this balance to get to the right ventricle
Deoxygenated blood enters the heart from the body through what structure
Superior and inferior vena cavae
Pulmonary circulation
CO2 is unloaded and O2 is loaded
Systemic circulation
CO2 is loaded and O2 is unloaded
Which type of valve separates the atria from the ventricle
Atrioventricular valve
Which structure does the pulmonary trunk split into, taking blood to the lungs
Pulmonary arteries
Pacemaker of the heart
Sinoatrial node
Sequence of vessels that blood travels as it leaves the heart
Aorta, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins, vena cavae
What’s in the endocardium
Tissue that lines the heart’s four chambers
Function of capillaries
Exchange fluids and other materials between the tissues and the blood
Function of the tendinous chords
Attach the valve to the papillary muscle
Function of tunica externa
Anchors the vessel to surrounding tissue
Function of tunica interna
Secretes a chemical to repel platelets so blood can easy flow through the vessel
Pericardium
A fluid-filled, double walled membrane that surrounds the heart
Intercalated discs in cardiac muscle tissue purpose
Intercalated discs allow atrium or ventricles to contract simultaneously, intercalated discs allow fast electrical transmission between cells
Smallest blood vessel
Capillary
