How many atria in a chamber
2
how many ventricles in a chamber
2
Connects right
atria/ventricle
tricuspid
Connects left
atria/ventricle
Bicuspid/ Mitral:
Connects right
ventricle to pulmonary artery
pulmonary valve
Connects left ventricle to
aorta
aortic valve
Atrioventricular valves, what are the 2
tricuspid, bicuspid/ mitral
the two semilunar valves
pulmonary and aortic
cardiac cycle is regulated by…
autonomic NS
step 1 of cardiac cycle
Heart is at rest, awaiting
action potential
steps 2-3 of cardiac cycle
Sinoatrial (SA/
pacemaker) node in upper right
atrium initiates contraction of
atria and stimulate
atrioventricular (AV) node
Sinoatrial (SA/
pacemaker) node in upper right
atrium initiates contraction of…
atria
what does contraction of atria stimulate
atrioventricular node
step 4 of cardiac cycle
AV node passes impulse
to Bundle of His between
ventricles
AV node passes impulse to what..
Bundle of His
step 5-6 of cardiac cycle
5-6: Bundle of His passes
signal to Purkinje fibers =
contraction of both ventricles
where does bundle of his pass signal to
purknje fibers
what does the signal received by purknje fibers initiate
contraction of both ventricles
Contraction of atria/
ventricles
systole
Relaxation of atria/
ventricles
diastole
blood types are classified by…
presence of
antigen on erythrocyte
membrane
Antibodies
attack blood cells with
foreign antigens, forming
clumps
Agglutination:
what blood type is the universal recipient because these individuals do not produce antibodies
against any blood type
blood type AB+
universal donor
O-
+/- part of blood type is called…
Rhesus (RH) Factor
