Q

what happens after deoxygenated blood goes from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs

A

it is oxygenated and returns the oxygenated blood to the left atrium

16
Q

what type of blood does the systemic loop return and where does it return it to

A

deoxygenated blood to the right atrium

17
Q

how many cycles of contractions does the heart undergoes

A

2

18
Q

what are the 2 contractions of the heart

A

systole and diastole

19
Q

what does systole contraction indicate

A

contraction of heart muscles

20
Q

what does diastole contraction indicate

A

relaxation of heart muscles

21
Q

in the heart cycle what does ventricular systole mean

A

ventricles contract

22
Q

in the heart cycle what does ventricular systole cause

A

atrioventricular valves — mitral and tricuspid valves to close

23
Q

what sound occurs when the atrioventricular valves close

A

makes a “lub” sound

24
Q

how are empty ventricles filled

A

blood pushed out during atrial systole

25
Q

at the same time, what also happens when the atrioventricular valves close

A

semilunar valves in the aorta and pulmonary trunk close

26
Q

what does the closing of the semilunar valves prevent

A

prevents blood from falling back into the ventricles

27
Q

what sound occurs when the semilunar valves close

A

“dub sound”

28
Q

what sound does the closing of both the atrioventricular and semilunar valves complete

A

lub/dub sound of the heart

29
Q

what is the contraction of the closing of the atrioventricular and semilunar valves controlled by

A

pacemaker

30
Q

what is the pacemaker called

A

sinoatrial node

31
Q

what does the pacemaker “sinoatrial node” do

A

sends out electrical signals

32
Q

what does the thick walls of the arteries withstand

A

to withstand pressure of blood pumped by the heart

33
Q

what do veins have thinner walls of

A

muscle layer and large lumen
