16
Q

Time it takes for blood to move from RA->LV->aorta

A

2 cardiac cycles

17
Q

Heart pumps entire body blood volume

A

Every minute at rest

18
Q

Blood supply that maintains heart tissue

A

Coronary circulation

*canNOT pull O2 from Atria/ventricles

19
Q

Valves are located

A
  • between A->V

- between Vā€”> arteries

20
Q

Reason AV valves are structured heavily

A

Manage workload of heart - ensures one way flow of blood

21
Q

Structures of AV valves

A
  1. Leaflets

2. Chordae tendonae - connects leaflets to papillary muscles

22
Q

Semilunar valves characteristic

A

Self-sealing to prevent back flow

*pathology=unable to pass blood thru ā€”> stenosis

23
Q

Pericardial sac

A

Serous membrane surrounding heart

24
Q

Serous membrane covering heart muscle

A

Epicardium

25
Q

Serous membrane that is separated from heart by another membrane and pericardial fluid

A

Pericardium

26
Q

Purpose of pericardial sac

A

Parasympathetic ganglia that innervated heart located here

Protects heart from friction while pumping

27
Q

Two types of cardiac tissue

A

Contractile cells

Autorhytmic cells

28
Q

1% of cardiac tissue

A

Autorhythmic cells

29
Q

99% of cardiac tissue

A

Contractile cells

30
Q

Unique to cardiac muscle cell

A

Intercalated discs

31
Q

Intercalated discs

A

Electrical + physical connection between cells

32
Q

Connection via intercalated discs occurs via

A
  1. Desmosome (physical anchors between each other)

2. Gap junctions spanning both membranes (electrical coupling)
