Chapter 19 Flashcards
principal función of cardiovascular system
providing adequate perfusion
what’s perfusion?
delivery of blood per time per gram of tissue mL/min/g
the right ventricle send blood to the lungs via
pulmonary trunk
what are the only arteries that carry deoxygenates blood?
pulmonary arteries
largest artery
aorta
left ventricle send blood to the entire body via
the aorta
large veins
superior and inferior vena cava
vena cava from______ to _____
body, right atrium
only veins that carry oxygenated blood
pulmonary veins
pulmonary semilunar valve is between
right atrium and pulmonary trunk
aortic semilunar valve is between
left atrium and aorta
pattern of blood circulation
right atria ~ right ventricle ~ pulmonary trunk ~ lungs ~ eft atria ~ left ventricle ~ aorta ~ systemic circulation ~ SVC ~ right atria
the heart is posterior to the
sternum
the heart is in the _____ cavity
mediastinum
the apex of the heart points down into the _____
left
mention the 3 layers of the pericardium
fibrous pericardium
parietal layer of the serous pericardium
visceral layer of the serous pericardium
two serous layers separate by
pericardial cavity
type of tissue of fibrous parietal layer
dense irregular connective tissue
type of tissue of the two serous pericardium layers
simple squamous epithelium and areolar connective tissue
what does the pericardial cavity contain?
serous fluid
why is the left side of the heart thicker?
it works harder because sends blood to all the body
what happens with the capillaries in pericarditis?
increases capillary permeability which causes fluid accumulation in pericardial cavity which restricts chamber’s movement
pericarditis results in_____
cardiac tamponade
what’s visible in the anterior view?
right atrium
right ventricle
right auricle (most)
pulmonary trunk
ascending aorta
aortic arch
descending aorta
portions of: left auricle and ventricle
what’s visible in the posterior view?
left atrium
left ventricle
pulmonary veins (left atrium)
IVC, SVN
pulmonary arteries
posterior interventricular sulcus
part of coronary sulcus
coronary sulcus is separates _____ from_____
atria, ventricles
AV valves close when ______ _____
ventricles contract
AV valves prevent back flow to
atria
semilunar valves prevent back flow to
ventricles
semilunar valves open when
Av valves close and ventricles contract
symptoms of cardiomegaly
shortness of breath, dizziness, swelling, arrhythmia
heart murmur
abnormal heart sound
4 normal heart sounds
S1 - AV valves close
S2 - semilunar valves close
S3 S4 minor sounds
type of tissue the fibrous skeleton is
dense irregular connective tissue
function of fibrous skeleton
supports atria and ventricles
valves anchor to it
framework for the heart
prevents ventricles to contract at the same time as atria
cardiac cells have ____ nuclei
2
what structure is only part of cardiac cells?
intercalated discs
what are the 2 types of junctions in the intercalated discs?
desmosomes, gap junctions
describe desmosomes
proteins filaments, mechanically joint cells
describe gap junctions
electrically or functional joint cells
ischemic
low oxygen
cardiac muscle use different types of_____ (glucose, lactic acid, fatty acids, amino acid, ketone bodies)
fuel molecules
cardiac muscle relies on _____ metabolism
aerobic
right coronary artery branches:
marginal artery
posterior interventricular artery
left coronary artery branches:
circumflex artery
anterior interventricular artery
coronary arteries are different because
they’re functional end arteries
arterial anastomoses are
connections between vessels to provide more than one route
why arterial anatomies doesn’t work on the heart?
coronary anastomoses are too small
what happens with coronary flow when the heart contracts?
vessels compressed interrupting flow
