heart Flashcards
Following a drop of blood
blood from the body tissues comes in from veins (inferior or supiror vena cava, or the cornoary sinus), then flows into the right artium. traveling thouhg the tricuspid AV valve the blood then enters the right ventricle, till going though the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries. After flowing through the lungs it returns to the heart though the pulmonary veins into the left artium then through the bicuspid(mirtal) AV valve into the left ventricle. Finally leaving thought the aortic semilunar valve into the aorta to return to the bodies tissues.

SKIP 5/5
Sinoatrial node
-in the right artium
-pace maker of the heart
-causes artial to contract at the same time
P wave
atriole systole or atriole depolarization
Atrioventricular node
-bottom of right atrium
-delay singal from sinoartial node to the ventricles
-pushes signal to budle of His
Bundle of His
enters into the interventricular septum and splits into the budle branches
bundle branches
seperate into purkinje fibers
purkinje fibers
causes the ventricle to contract
QRS wave
ventricular systole or ventricular depolarization
atrial repolarization or atrial diastole also occurs here
T wave
ventricular repolarization or ventricular diastole
cardiac conduction as a whole
sinoartial node causes artials to contract (artial systole/depolarization) (The P Wave) then the artioventricular node slows the signal then pushes it to the bundle of His which splits into budle branches finally spiliting into purkinje fibers causing the ventricle to contract (venticular systole/depolarization) (The QRS Wave) while the atrium relaxes (atrial diastole/repolarization), once the ventricles are done contracting the ventricles relaxe (venticular diastole/repolarization) (The T Wave)
