Heart and Circulation Flashcards
Coronary Circulation Function
Supplies oxygen to myocardium
Removes carbon dioxide from myocardium
Systemic Circulation Function
Provides blood to ALL body tissues
Removes CO2 and waste
Arises from aorta to Right Atrium
Pulmonary Circulation Function
Transporta deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs and returns oxygenated blood to left atrium
How does a venous pump work?
Muscle oressed aganist walls of veins to provide force needed to move blood.
Blood Flow beginning at arteries
Arteries>Arterioles>Capillaries>Venules>Veins
Pulmonary Circuit Pathway
Right atrium>tricupsid valve>right ventricle>pulmonary semilunar valve>pulmonary trunk>pulmonary arteries>lungs>pulmonary veins>left atrium
Systemic Circuit Pathway
left atrium>bicuspid valve>left ventricle>aortic semilunar valve>aorta>all body cells>superior/inferior vena cavae>right atrium
Coronary Circuit Pathway
Aorta>coronary arteries>cardiac muscle>cardiac veins>coronary sinus>right atrium
Blood Flow Pathway
Superior/Inferior vena cave>right atrium>tricupsid valve>right ventricle >Pulmonary semilunar valve>pulmonary trunk>pulmonary artery>lungs>pulmonary veins>left atrium>bicupsid valve>left ventricle>aortic semilunar valve>ascending aorta>blood returns
Coronary Arteries
Recieve aortic blood and sends blood to cardiac muscle
Cardiac Veins
Recieves cardiac muscle blood and sends blood to coronary sinus
Papillary Muscle
Attach into ventricular walls
Coronary Sinus
Recieves cardiac vein blood and sends blood to right atrium
Chordae Tendineae
Attach atrioventricular valve cusps to papillary muscles
Valve Functions
Prevents backflow of blood
