Heart Flashcards
What are the main blood vessels in the cardiovascular system?
Carotid Artery Jagular Vein Aorta Pulmonary Trunk Heart Brachial Artery Inferior Vena Cava Femoral Artery and Vein
Cardiovascular System Components?
Heart, Blood, Blood Vessels
how many liters of blood do we have?
5L
the heart’s right side pumping to the LUNGS and back to the left side of the heart through vessels is the??
Pulmonary Circulation
The left side of the heart pumps blood to all other tissues of the body and back to the right side of the heart is the?
Systemic Circulation
what is the size of the heart?
size of fist and less than 1lb
where is heart located?
in between lungs in thoracic cavity
what is the orientation of the heart?
Apex towards left side
double layers sac that protects and anchors the heart?
Pericardium
membrane around the cavity of heart
parietal pericardium
membrane on the heart’s surface
visceral pericardium
space around the heart
Pericardial cavity
how many pulmonary veins does carry blood into the left atrium?
4
veins that carries blood from the right atrium
SVC and IVC
groove that separates atria from ventricles
coronary sulcus
4 chambers of the heart
Right Atrium
Right Ventricle
Left Atrium
Left Ventricle
these are the superior chambers
“HOLDING CHAMBERS)
thin-walled that contracts minimally to push blood into the ventricles
Left and Right atria
separates the blood from the right atrium to the left atrium
interatrial Septum
inferior chambers
“PUMPING CHAMBERS”
thick, strong-walled and contracts forcefully to send blood out of the heart
Ventricles
separates the left and right ventricles
interventricular septum
2 valves in the heart
Tricuspid Valve
Bicuspid Valve
AV Valves between RA and RV?
Tricuspid (3 cusp)
AV Valves between LA and LV?
Bicuspid Valve (2 cusp) Mitral Valve
each ventricle contains cone-shaped called?
Papillary Muscle
muxcle in the heart?
myocardium
muscles of papillary Muscle is attached to
Chordae Tendineae
T or F
when the ventricles contract, the papillary muscle also contracts that prevent the valves from opening into the atria by pulling Chordae Tendineae attached Valves cusp
True
tendons in atrioventricular valves?
Chordae tendineae
have 3 half-moon shaped cusp
semilunar valves
Right Ventricles to Pulmonary Trunk
Pulmonary Valve
