Heart Flashcards
Superior/ inferior venae cavae
It received oxygen poor blood from veins
Right/ left pulmonary arteries
Carry blood to the lungs where oxygen is picked up and co2 is unloaded.
Pulmonary veins
Blood is returned to
The left side of the heart through the veins.
Pulmonary circulation
From the right side of the heart to the lungs and back to the left side of the heart
Aorta
Blood returned to the left side of the heart is pumped out of the heart
Pericardium
The heart is enclosed by a double- walled sac.
Endocardium
Inner heart
Myocardium
Thick muscle
Pericardium
Surrounds the heart
Pericarditis
Infection of the outer heart
Intrinsic conduction system
That is built with in the heart tissue and sets the basic rhythm.
(SA) sink atrial node
The highest rate of depolerization in the whole system sets pace.
(AV) node
The junction of the atria and ventrivles😌
Heart block
Any damage to the SB mode can partially or totally release the ventricles from the SA node.
Ischemia
Lack of an adequate blood supply to the heart may lead to fibrillation a rapid suffering of the heart.
Tachycardia
Is rapid heart beats
Bradycardia
Heart rate that is substantially slower than normal.
Systole
Contraction of the heart
Mid to late diastole
Heart complete relaxation
Low pressure
AV valves are open
Ventricular systole
Intraventricular pressure in the ventricles is higher than the pressure in the arteries leaving the heart
Demi lunar valves and blood rushes out.
