Q

What is the pace maker of the heart?

A

Sinoatrial (SA) node

17
Q

Function and location of the SA Node?

A

Causes atrial contraction

Located in wall of superior vena cava and right atrium

18
Q

Location and function of Atrioventricular (AV) Node

A

Septum between atria

Begins ventricular Contraction

19
Q

What makes up the conducting system of the heart?

A

Atrioventricular Bundle - Bundle of His

Divides into 2 fibres of Purkinje Fibres

20
Q

Location and Function of Purkinje Fibres?

A

Occur in dense CT of endocardium
Supply Papillary muscles first then apex of heart
Causes wave of ventricular contraction

21
Q

Layers of a blood Vessel

A

Tunica Intima - endothelium and CT
Tunica media - smooth muscle, collagen and elastic fibres
Tunica Adventitia - Loose CT, can have blood vessels and nerves

22
Q

types of arteries

A

Elastic Arteries
Muscular arteries
arterioles

23
Q

Role of Capillaries?

A

link arterial and venous circulation - microcirculation

site of gas exchange

24
Q

Types of Capillaries ?

A

Continuous
Fenestrated
Discontinuous ( Sinusoids )
