Final Review Flashcards
what prevents back flow into the right atrium
R.A.T
tricuspid valve
what prevents back flow into the right ventricle
PVR
pulmonary semilunar valve
what prevents back flow into the left atrium
L.A.M
mitral (bicuspid valve)
L.A.M
left atrium mitral
what prevents back flow into the left ventricle
L.A.V
aortic semilunar valve
what mm’s attache to chordae tendinae
papillary muscles (prevent valve prolapse)
what supplies oxygenated blood to the myocardium
coronary arteries
what drains deoxygenated blood from the heart into the right atrium
coronary sinus
what can blocked coronary arteries lead to
myocardial infarction
______ wave is ventricular repolarization (ventricles contract, diastole)
T wave
(TVR)
_____ wave is the atrial depolarization (atria contracts, systole)
P wave
______ wave is ventricular depolarization (ventricles contract, systole) atrial repolarization occurs here
QRS
what starts an action potential
SA node (pacemaker)
sympathetic nervous system increase ____ node
SA node activity –> HR increases
PNS does opposite
conduction system of heart
- SA node –> (pacemaker of heart, starts action potential)
- AV node –> (receives impulse from SA node)
- AV bundle of his –> (sends impulse down the septum)
- Purkinje fibres (spread impulses through ventricles)
blood ejected per ventricular contraction =
stroke volume
cardiac output =
stroke volume x heart rate = amount of blood pumped per min
the mechanical process of moving air in and out of the body =
ventilation
the exchange of gases in the body =
respiration
O2 moves from alveoli –> pulmonary capillaries; CO2 moves from blood –> alveoli (to be exhaled) = what kind of respiration
external
O2 moves from systemic capillaries (blood) –> tissues (muscles); CO2 moves from tissues –> blood = what kind of respiration
internal
the breakdown of carbohydrates to produce ATP = what kind of respiration
cellular
at what structure does the lower respiratory tract start
layrnx
what zone is the site of gas exchange in
respiratory zone (alveoli, respiratory bronchioles)
regions of pharynx (3)
- nasopharynx - air only
- oropharynx - food & air
- laryngopharynx (behind larynx) - food & air
