25
friction within the pericardium is prevented by lubricant fluid produced by both layers of
serous mesothelial cells
26
has selective permeability, has antithrombogenic properties, serves as diapedesis for leukocytes, seccrete variety of paracrine factors for vasodilation, constriction, and growth of adjacent cells.
endothelium
27
diapedesis
how leukocytes migrate and moves out of the blood vessels and go to diff tissues
28
pulmonary vein
oxygenated blood
29
pulmonary arteries carry
doexygenated blood
30
major tissue types in 3 layers of the heart
cardiac muscle
31
Branches of the heart’s impulse-conducting system, consisting of modified cardiac muscle fibers, are also located in the subendocardial layer.
endocardium
32
seen in the Subendocardial layer
purkinje fibers
33
part of electrical conducting system of heart
purkinje fibers
34
2 layers of pericardium
outer visceral and inner parietal
35
fibro serous sac that surrounds the heart and the roots of the great vessel
pericardium
36
pericardium consist of
serous pericardium and fibrous pericardium
37
serous pericardium consist of ___ which lines the inside of fibrous pericardium
outer parietal layer
38
visceral layer adherens to the
surface of the heart
39
gitna ng parietal and visceral layer
perichardial cavity
40
endocardium corresponds to
visceral layer of serous perichardium
41
Dense fibrous connective tissue of the cardiac skeleton forms part of the
interventricular and interatrial septa, surrounds all valves of the heart, and extends into the valve cusps and the chordae tendineae to which they are attached
42
cardiac skeleton functions
■ Anchoring and supporting the heart valves ■ Providing firm points of insertion for cardiac muscle ■ Helping coordinate the heartbeat by acting as electrical insulation between atria and ventricles

system
SA node/sinoatrial node provide electrical signal---> atrioventricular node---> bundle of HIS (atrioventricular bundle) --->subendocardial conducting netwrok (purkinje fibers)
47
Conducting system of the heart
located within a subendocardial layer and adjacent myocardium are modified cardiac mucle cells that are responsible for rythmic contraction.
48
conducting system of the heart consist of specialized myocardial tissue in the
right atrium
49
Both parasympathetic and sympathetic neural components innervate the ___. Ganglionic nerve cells and nerve fibers are present in the regions close to the SA and AV nodes, where they affect heart rate and rhythm, such as during physical exercise and emotional stress

sympathetic
51

52

sympathetic and parasympathetic neural component
53
Stimulation of the parasympathetic division (vagus nerve) ____, whereas stimulation of the sympathetic nerve ____
slows the heartbeat accelerates activity of the pacemaker
54
Between fibers of the myocardium are afferent free nerve endings that register
pain, such as the discomfort
55
carotid massage

56
pale staining fibers, larger than adjacent contractile muscle fibers
purkinje fibers
57
Walls of all blood vessels except capillaries contain
smooth muscle and connective tissue in addition to the endothelial lining.
58
capilliary only has
endothelium
59
The amount and arrangement of these tissues (smooth mucle and CT) in vessels are influenced by ________, primarily blood pressure, and metabolic factors reflecting the local needs of tissues
mechanical factors
60
The endothelium is a specialized epithelium that acts as a semipermeable barrier between two internal compartments:
the blood plasma and the interstitial tissue fluid.
