Heart Flashcards
3 layers of the heart wall in order from most superficial
Epicardium
Myocardium
Endocardium
Which valve is between the Left atrium and Left ventricle?
Mitral valve aka Bicuspid valve
This valve carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
Located between the Left ventricle and the aorta
Aortic semilunar valve
This valve is between the Deoxygenated Right Atrium and the Deoxygenated Right Ventricle
Tricuspid Valve
This valve allows blood to flow from the heart to the lungs
It is located between the Right Ventricle and Pulmonary Artery
Pulmonary Semilunar valve
Recieving chambers of the heart
Atria (plural)
Atrium (Singular)
Discharging chambers of the heart
Ventricles
Right Ventricle pumps blood to the Pulmonary Trunk, splitting to form (Right & Left Pulmonary Artery)
Via which valve
Pulmonary Semilunar Valve
Pulmonary Artery contains which type of blood?
Deoxygenated
Pulmonary Artery sends blood where?
Lungs
What structure allows “things” to travel in and out of the blood?
Capillaries
Pulmonary veins carry which kind of blood ?
Oxygenated
Where do Pulmonary Veins carry oxygenated blood to, from the lungs?
Left Atrium
Oxygenated blood through the left Atrium to the left ventricle via which valve?
Mitral valve or Bicuspid valve
From Right Ventricle to Lungs to Left Atrium is called?
Pulmonary circulation loop
Left Ventricle to Aortic Semilunar Valve to Aorta is called what?
Systemic Loop
How does blood enter the Right Atrium?
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava
The “Lub” sound of the heart is caused by the Mitral and Tricuspid valves closing to pump blood out of the heart.
This type of blood pressure is called?
Systole
The “Dub” sound is the Pulmonary and Aortic valves closing at the start of ______
Diastolic
Systole is when the heart is ______
Diastole is when the hear is _____
115/ 75 which number is which?
Systole is Squeezing
Diastolic is Refilling
115 Systolic
75 Diastolic
Blood comes into the right Atrium from the ______
Vena cava
From the right Ventricle to _____ via the Pulmonary Semilunar Valves
Pulmonary Trunk
a delicate network of connective tissue fibers, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves that surrounds individual muscle fibers of the heart
Endomysium
