CVS: Muscle and AP Flashcards
what are the main functions of the circulatory system
transportation and distribution
removal of byporoducts
abdjusting ox and nutrient supply
body temp
tubular communication
whats in the pulmonary circuit

whats in the systemic circuit
left ventricle
aorta
arteries to each organ
artierioles,
capillaries
venules
explain how blood gets from extremities and reox then back out
from extremities venules go back into right arium through vena cava, then go back through pulm circult
what surrounds the heart
pericardium
what mainly makes up the heart
myocardium
what are the major structures of the heart (in the order that blood goes through)
what are the four valces of the heart
what is the role of semilunar valves
bi, tri, pulm, aortic
what is the role atriventricular valves
what is the role chordae tendinae
why is left ventricle more muscular
what is the sequence of blood through the heart
what is the role of the coronary artieries?
how are myocardial cells attached to eachother
