Circulation: Chapter 20/21 Flashcards
What happens if blood does not move?
1) Oxygen and nutrients do not get to the cells
2) Wastes are not carried away from cells
3) Hormones and WBC’s cannot get to their destination
a part of the cardiovascular system, from the heart to the lungs and back
Pulmonary Circuit
part of the cardiovascular system, from the heart to the body and back
Systematic Circuit
What is the vessel order?
Artery–> arteriole–> capillary–> venuole–> vein
How do veins and arteries differ?
Arteries- high pressure, carry away, thick, red, high oxygen, deep, no valves
Veins- low pressure, blue, return to heart, thin, low oxygen, superficial, have valves
What are the four chambers of the heart?
1) Right Atrium
2) Right Ventricle
3) Left Atrium
4) Left Ventricle
a chamber of the heart, collects blood from the body
Right atrium
a chamber of the heart, pumps blood to the lungs
Right ventricle
a chamber of the heart, collects blood from the lungs
Left Atrium
a chamber of the heart, pumps blood to the body
Left Ventricle
surrounds the heart, filled with fluid
Pericardial Sac
area between the lungs inside the mediastinum
Pericardial cavity
between the pleural cavities
Mediastinum
tissue of the heart (visceral), and the tissue surrounding the heart (parietal)
Pericardium
reduces friction between the two pericardium layers
Pericardial fluid
grooves for blood vessels on the heart
Sulcus
What are the three types of sulcus?
1) Coronary
2) anterior intraventricular
3) posterior intraventricular
type of sulcus, located between the atria and ventricles
Coronary
type of sulcus, located between the right and left ventricles on the front of the heart
Anterior Intraventricular
type of sulcus, located between the right and left ventricles on the back of the heart
Posterior intraventricular
What are the three layers of the heart wall?
1) Epicardium
2) Myocardium
3) Endocardium
layer of the heart wall, same as visceral pericardium, outer covering of the heart
Epicardium
layer of the heart wall, the muscle wall (cardiac muscle)
Myocardium
layer of the heart wall, the inner layer, makes the valves
Endocardium
divides the right and left atria
Interatrial septum
divides the right and left ventricles
Interventricular septum
