Heart (cardiovascular system) Flashcards
Pericardium?
-where the Heart sits
-reduces friction and provides protection
-fluid filled sac lined by parietal pericardium
3 Heart walls?
1)Epicardium:outermost layer(visceral pericardium
2)Myocardium:cardiac muscle fibers+connective tissue
3)Endocardium:inner lining of the heart
4 Heart chambers?
1)right atrium
2)left atrium
3)Right ventricle
4)Left ventricle
Right chambers?
-collect deoxygenated blood from body&pumps it into the lungs
-Pulmonary circuit
Left chambers?
-collect oxygenated blood from lungs & pumps it from lungs to body
-Systemic circuit
Pulmonary circuit?
-between heart –> lungs
-uses the lungs to create oxygenated blood
-col
Systemic circuit
-between heart –>rest of body
-uses heart to circulate blood between body tissues and the lungs
Superior vena cava(from head)
- deoxygenated blood
Inferior vena cava (from body)
-deoxygenated blood
Right pulmonary vein
-oxygenated blood
left pulmonary vein
-oxygenated blood
blood movement in heart?
-controlled by four valves
-2 atrioventricular valves
-2 semilunar valves
-valves are opened by chordae tendineae
“lubb” sound in the heart
AV valves closing
‘Dubb” sound in the heart
semilunar valves closing
Right and left coronary arteries?
-nourish the myocardium
-blood is collected in coronary veins
-leads to coronary sinus
