Chapter 18 Flashcards
enclosed and held by pericardium
heart covering
sinoatrial node (SA node)
- mass of cells in right atrium opening the superior vena cava
- sents impluses to artial muscles for atrial contractions
- stimulates AV node
- SA is pace maker
final 0.4 sec
all chamber relax
next 0.3 sec
- ventricles contract (systole)
- atria relax (diastole)
left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the — that is divided into — to deliver oxygenated blood to major organs
aorta; major arteries
right coronary is divided into
posterior interventricular branch and marginal branch
from the upper body
superior vena cava
* deoxygenated blood only
timing
- 75 heart beats per minute (average)
- 1 heart beat= 1 cardiac cycle
- each cycle is about 0.08 sec= divided into 0.1 + 0.3 + 0.4 sec
aortic semilunar valve
- located between the left ventricle and aorta
- 3 flaps
- attached to wall of aorta
- open inside the aorta
- oxygenated blood flow in one direction only
comb like muscle projections on the inner wall of the
atria that provide rigidity to the atrial wall
pectinate muscles
left coronary is divided into
anterior interventricular branch and circumflex branch
pulmonary trunk is divided into – and —— that delivers blood to the – and — for oxygentation
left and right pulmonary arteries; left and righ lungs
ventricular diastole
- presurre drops
- semilunar valves close
- takes 0.05 sec
- is isovolumetric relaxation
leads to heart block and cardiac arrest
hyperkalemia (high blood potassium level)
pericardium has 2 parts
- fibrous pericardium
- serous pericardium
right atrium then delivers deoxygenated blood to the –
right ventricle
thicker than the atrial wall
ventricular wall
is an oval depression on the septal wall of the right atrium
fossa ovalis
is created when the atrioventricular valves close
lubb
endocardium
- thin layer of fibrous connective tissue
- lines heart muscle and heart valves
two atria are separated by ____
interatrial septum
that supply blood to the wall
of the left ventricle
anterior interventricular branch
valves of the heart
- two atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and bicuspid/mitral)
- two semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary)
right atrium recieves deoxygenated blood through
- superior vena cava
- inferior vena cava
- coronary sinus
ventricles receive atrial blood
ventriclar filling
reduced ionic calcium depresses the heart
hypocalcemia
