Chapter 20 Lecture 3 Flashcards
What are required for directional circulation?
Pump Valves Muscle location/structure Timing of contractions Tubes in a circuit
Valves:
one-way entrance and exit
A-V valves open and:
allow blood to flow from atria into ventricles when ventricular pressure is lower than atrial pressure
A-V valves close and:
prevent backflow of blood into atria
SL valves open
Semilunar - with ventricular contraction
allow blood to flow into pulmonary trunk and aorta
SL valves close
with ventricular relaxation
prevents blood from returning to ventricles, blood fills valve cusps, tightly closing the SL valves
Pre-load
- Ventricles relax, drawing blood into atria
2. Atria then contract, sending blood into ventricles
After Load:
- Ventricles contract, blood enters ascending aorta and pulmonary arteries
Stenosis -
valve narrowing (restricts blood flow)
Insufficiency –
valve does not close completely (“murmur”; congenital, scar tissue or autoimmune damage from disease)
Prolapse –
valve cusp escapes backwards into previous chamber (blood backflow)
Septal defect –
opening between chambers, usually between ventricles (allows mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood)
3 Circuit:
Pulmonary, Systematic, Coronary
Pulmonary Circuit:
right ventricle –> deoxygenated blood to/from lungs –> 1. left atrium
- right side of heart pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs
- right ventricle pumps blood to pulmonary trunk
- pulmonary trunk branches into pulmonary arteries
- pulmonary arteries carry blood to lungs for exchange of gases
- oxygenated blood returns to heart in pulmonary veins
Systematic Circuit:
left ventricle –> oxygenated to/from body –> right atrium
- pumps oxygenated blood into aorta
- aorta branches into many arteries that travel to organs
- arteries branch into many arterioles in tissue
- arterioles branch into thin-walled capillaries for exchange of gases and nutrients
- begins its return in venules
- venules merge into veins and return to right atrium
