Exam 2 Flashcards
describe the flow of blood through the heart
1 deoxygenated blood enters from the superior or inferior vena cava
2 blood travels through the RIGHT atrium
3 (lub lub) through the tricuspid valve (aka RIGHT atroventricular valve)
4 blood travels through the RIGHT ventricle
5 (dub dub) through the pulmonary semilunar valve
6 blood travels through the pulmonary trunk
7 deoxygenated blood exits to the right and left lung from the right and left pulmonary ARTERIES
8 oxygenated blood reenters from the right and left lung into the 2 right & 2 left pulmonary VEINS
9 blood travels through the LEFT atrium
10 (lub lub) through the mitral/bicuspid valve (aka LEFT atroventricular valve)
11 blood travels through the LEFT ventricle
12 (dub dub) through the aortic semilunar valve
13 into aorta (ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta)
14 exits through the right brachiocephalic/common carotid artery - right subclavian artery, left brachiocephalic/common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery
foramen ovale
fetal shunt/opening between the right and left atria
fossa ovalis
was once a shunt/opening between right and left atria
foramen ovale is to fossa ovalis as
ductus arteriosus is to
ligamentum arteriosum
name the 4 heart valves
tricuspid valve/ RIGHT atroventricular valve
pulmonary semilunar valve
mitral/bicuspid valve/ LEFT atroventricular valve
aortic semilunar valve
name the 4 heart chambers
upper chambers: right and left atrium (atria)
lower chambers: right and left ventricles
systole
contraction of ventricles
diastole
relaxation of ventricles
pulse pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
trabeculae carnea
muscle within the ventricles
pectinate muscle
muscle within the atria (atriums)
chordae tendineae
papillary muscles
arteriole
primary controller of blood pressure
normal BP
less than 120 and less than 80
119/79
high BP
*hypertension
149/90 +
