chapter 5, 6, 7, 8 extra stuff Flashcards
chambers of the heart
to upper chambers and two lower chambers
ventricles
inferior they pump blood throughout the body (more muscular than atria
atrium
superior act like connecting vessels at the top of the heart
upper chambers
left and right atrium
lower chambers of the heart
left and right ventricle
one way Valves
ensure blood flows in the right direction through the heart and prevent the backflow of blood into the atria when the ventricles contract.
tricuspid valves
Prevents backflow of blood into the right atrium when the right ventricle contracts
Bicuspid Valve
Prevents backflow of blood into left atrium when the left ventricle contracts
Pulmonary Valve
As the ventricles contract, it opens to allow deoxygenated blood to flow to the lungs to be reoxygenated.
Aortic Valve
As the ventricles contract, it opens to allow oxygenated blood to flow throughout the body. It closes as the ventricles relax
the right side of the heart-1st step
Deoxygenated blood returns from the body and enters the Right Atrium through the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava
the right side of the heart- 2nd step
The Right Atrium contracts and pushes blood through the Tricuspid Valve into the Right Ventricle
the right side of the heart 3rd step
Right Ventricle contracts and pumps the blood through the Pulmonary Artery up towards the lungs
the right side of the heart 4th step
Blood becomes oxygenated again in the lungs
the right side of the heart function
receives blood that’s returning from the body- deoxygenated blood
left side of the heart function
receives blood from lungs and sends it out to the body- oxygenated blood
left side of the heart-1st
Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs and enters the Left Atrium via the Pulmonary Veins
