Q

The deep two-layer pericardium

A
  • the parietal layer lines the internal surface of the fibrous pericardium
  • the visceral layer or epicardium lines the surface of the heart
  • these two layers are separated by the fluid-filled pericardial cavity

Q

The perocardium

A
  • protects and anchors the heart
  • prevents overfilling of the heart with blood
  • allows for the heart to work in a relatively friction-free environment

46
Q

Electrocardiography

P wave corresponds to

A

depolarization of SA node

47
Q

Electrocardiography

QRS complex corresponds to

A

ventricular depolarization

48
Q

Electrocardiography

T wave corresponds to

A

the larger QRS complex

50
Q

Heart sounds (lub-dup) are associated with

A

closing of heart valves

51
Q

Heart Sounds

First sound occurs as AV valves close and

A

signifies the beginning of systole

52
Q

Heart Sounds

Second sound occurs when SL valves close at the

blood flow through the heart

54
Q

Systole

A

contraction of the heart muscle
