Heart Flashcards
1
Q
Valve between left ventricle and aorta
A
Aortic valve
It’s a semi lunar valve (tricupsid)
2
Q
Valve between right ventricle and lungs
A
Pulmonary valve
It’s a semilunar valve (tricupsid)
3
Q
Atrioventricular valves
A
LAB RAT
Left Atrium = Bicupsid (AKA mitral)
Right Atrium = Tricupsid
4
Q
Electric conduction
A
SA —> AV —> His —> purkinje fibers
Impulse initiation occurs without requiring neurological input
5
Q
Cardiac output
A
Total blood volume pumped by a ventricle per minute.
Usually about 5L/min
CO = HR x SV (vol of blood pumped per beat)
