Final Exam (2-Cardio On) Flashcards
what type of muscle is the heart
striated muslce
an infection of the inner lining of the heart usually involving the heart valves
endocarditis
Receives blood from upper body
superior vena cava
Receives blood from lower body
inferior vena cava
drains blood from heart
coronary sinus
Carries deoxygenated blood to lungs
pulmonary trunk (right and left pulmonary arteries)
return oxygenated blood to heart
pulmonary veins (4)
carries oxygenated blood out to body
ascending aorta
has 3 leaflets, flow from left ventricle to the aorta and then to the body
aortic semilunar valve
has 2 leaflets between left ventricle and atrium, flow from lungs into left atrium and then to left ventricle
mitral valve (bicuspid)
has 3 leaflets, flow from right ventricle to pulmonary artery
pulmonary semilunar valve
3 leaflets, allows flow from right atrium to right ventricle
tricuspid valve
blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to other parts of the body
Primarily oxygenated blood, higher pressure
thicker and stronger
arteries
blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart from other parts of the body
Carries blood that is low in oxygen, lower pressure
less elastic
contain valves
veins
superficial vein of the neck that drains blood from the parotid gland, most of the scalp, side of the face, Takes blood back to the heart.
external jugular vein
assists more with drainage if internal jugular is compressed/compromised
external jugular vein
how many layers are in arteries and veins
3
openings in blood vessels
lumen
junction of blood vessels (circle of willis)
anastomosis
gas nutrient and waste exchange
in vasculature
capillaries
Outer (superficial skin and auricular arteries and temporalis muscles) is supplied by
external carotid
blood to brain, eyes, etc.
internal carotid
blood to face and mouth
external carotid
explain the purpose of the circle of willis
The Circle of Willis is an arrangement of interconnected vascular channels that ensure that the (oxygenated) blood flow to the brain continues unimpeded, in case any of the principal suppliers are obstructed by injury, physical pressure or disease.
makes up 95% of the blood cells
have name and color from hemoglobin
erythrocytes
hemoglobin appears red when carrying _____ and darker red when carrying ______
O2, CO2
