Heart Flashcards
How many layers in heart wall
3
Outer layer of heart wall
Epicardium
Inner layer of heart wall
Endo cardium
Middle layer of heart wall
Myocardium
How many chambers in human heart
4
Function of atria
Receive blood
Function of ventricles
Pumps blood
Thicker myocardial layer
Atria or ventricles
Ventricles
Reason for thicker myocardial layer in ventricles
As it pumps out blood it has to be stronger
Right atrium received blood through
Superior and inferior venacava
In which chamber the fetus will have hole
Right atria
Blood from right atria flows to
Right ventricles
Blood flows into right ventricles through
Tricuspid valve
Right ventricle pumps the blood into
Lungs
Lungs receive blood through
Pulmonary artery
Blood from lungs flows into
Left atrium
The blood from left atrium flows into
Left ventricles
The blood flows into left ventricles through
Mitral valve
Disorder of mitral valve
Mitral valve regurgitation
If the mitral valve does not close properly the condition is called
Mitral valve regurgitation
Right side heart failure is also known as
Congestive heart disorder
If right side of the heart cannot pump blood it leads to a condition called
Right side heart failure or congestive heart failure
If the muscle of right ventricles is replaced with fat or scar tissue it is called
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
Aorta is placed in
Left ventricle
When aorta is placed in right ventricle it is called
Double outlet right ventricle
The blood from left ventricles flows to the tissue through
Aortic valve
High blood pressure causes
Left ventricular hypertropy
High blood pressure made the tissue
Enlarged and hardened
When the muscle surrounding the left ventricles are spongy it is called
Left ventricular non compaction cardiomyopathy
Oxygen rich blood enters the heart from
Lungs
Oxygen poor blood from heart goes to
Lungs
