Q

Right Atrium

A

Receives venous blood from superior and inferior venae cavae

*Blood will flow from right atrium to right ventricle through right tricuspid valve

17
Q

Right Ventricle; Papillary Muscles

A

Three Papilary Muscles

18
Q

Right Ventricle; Chordae Tendineae

A

From the papillary muscles to the three flaps of the right AV valve.

19
Q

Chordae Tendineae function

A

Strands prevent the flaps from being everted into the atrium by the contracting ventricle

20
Q

Right Ventricle; Blood Flow

A

Blood runs from the right ventricle through the Pulmonary Semilunar Valve into the Pulmonary Trunk
*Will now travel into the pulmonary arteries into the lungs

21
Q

Left Atrium

A

Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via 3 or four pulmonary veins
*Blood will flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle via the Left Bicuspid Valve

22
Q

Left Ventricle

A

Pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta

Blood is pushed form the from the left ventricle through the Aortic Semilunar Valve

23
Q

Steps of the Heart (1)

A

Blood LOW in oxygen enters right atrium

24
Q

Steps of the Heart (2)

A

blood from right atrium goes to right ventricle

25
Q

Steps of the Heart (3)

A

lood from the right ventricle goes through pulmonary trunk

26
Q

Steps of the Heart (4)

A

pulmonary trunk branches into pulmonary arteries, which carry blood to lungs

27
Q

Steps of the Heart (5)

A

exchange of gases occurs in the lungs

28
Q

Steps of the Heart (6)

A

oxygenated blood travels through pulmonary veins to left atrium

29
Q

Steps of the Heart (7)

A

blood from left atrium goes to left ventricle

30
Q

Steps of the Heart (8)

A

blood from left ventricle is pumped through the aorta

31
Q

Steps of the Heart (9)

A

blood travels through the blood vessels throughout the body, will return to right atrium of the heart, and the cycle repeats!

32
Q

Right and Left Coronary Artery

A

These vessels come off of the aorta and take nutrients and oxygen to the tissue of the heart

33
Q

Venous Circulation

A

Most of these veins unite/drain into the Cononary Sinus (Back of the Heart)

34
Q

Conducting System of the Heart

A

The heart exhibits autorhythmicity which means the heart itself (and not external nerves) are responsible for initiating the heartbeat

35
Q

Heart Conduction System (1)

A

Sinocartial (SB) Node: Located in upper wall of right atrium - it is responsible for initiating the heartbeat
*Nerve impulse travels from SA Node to AV Node

36
Q

Heart Conduction System (2)

A

Atrioventricular (AV) node: lies in the floor of the right atrium
*Transmits nerve impulse to the atrioventricular bundle

37
Q

Heart Conduction System (3)

A

Atrioventricular bundle: a bundle of conducting muscle fibers that runs through the interventricular septum and splits into:

38
Q

Heart Conduction System (4)

A

Left and right bundle branches: each bundle branch goes to its respective ventricle
*Bundle branches and sends nerve impulse to Purkinje Fibers

39
Q

Heart Conduction System (5)

A

Purkinje fibers: special conduction muscle cells
*Are larger than other cardiac muscle fibers and extend through the walls of the ventricles. This is where contraction of muscle actually occurs.

40
Q

Sympathetic Innervation can ____ the heart beat

41
Q

Parasympathetic Innervation can ____ the heart beat

42
Q

Steps of Heart Conduction System

A 
Sinoatrial Node
Atrioventricular Node
Atrioventricular Bundle
Bundle Branches (L&R)
Purkinje Fibers
