Atria
each of the semilunar valves has how many cups?
three
semi-lunar valves close when ________ pressure becomes greater than _______ pressure
arterial pressure becomes greater then ventricular pressure.
cardiac muscle cells are connected with__________ ____.
intercalated discs
what mechanically joins cardiac muscle cells with protein filaments?
desmosomes
what electric Lee Joins cardiac muscle cells to make each heart chamber a functional unit?
Gap Junctions
because cardiac muscle has a high demand for energy it has an extensive blood supply numerous __________, _______, and creatine ________.
numerous mitochondria myoglobin and creatine kinase
cardiac muscle tissue is able to use what types of fuel molecules?
fatty acids, glucose, like the gas it, amino acids, and Ketone bodies
cardiac muscle relies mostly on what type of metabolism?
aerobic metabolism which makes it susceptible to failure when oxygen is low
interference with blood flow to the heart muscle can cause _____ _______?
cell death
the fibrous skeleton of the heart is made of what type of tissue?
dense irregular connective tissue
this structure provides structural support at the boundary of Atria and ventricles
fibrous skeleton of heart
provides framework for attachment of cardiac muscle and acts as electrical insulator preventing ventricles from Contracting at the same time as Atria
fibrous skeleton of heart
