Heart/ Cardiovascular System Flashcards
Includes the heart and blood vessels
The cardiovascular system
Blood is pumped from the (blank)-(blank)-(blank)-(blank)-(blank)
The heart»arteries»capillaries»veins»heart
By this week the heart has 4 chambers (two atria and two ventricles)
7th week
The atria are separated by the (blank)
interatrial septum
The ventricles are separated by the
interventricular septum
The (blank) receives blood from the superior and inferior vena cava, which receive deoxygenated blood from the upper and lower body respectively
right atrium
Blood from the right atrium moves into the
Right ventricle
The (blank) pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary trunk -> pulmonary arteries (to pick up oxygen)
Right ventricle
The freshly- oxygenated blood is returned (from the lungs) to the heart by the blank (pulmonary veins) which empty into the (Blank)
Pulmonary Veins; Left Atrium
The oxygenated blood from the left atrium moves into the (blank)
left ventricle
The left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood to the upper and lower body (except for the lungs) through the (blank)
Aorta
Includes parts of the heart and blood vessels the deliver the blood to the lungs and then returns it to the heart (right ventricle, the pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins and left atrium)
The pulmonary circuit
Includes parts of the heart and the blood vessels that deliver blood to the body (not including the lungs) and returns it to the heart. (Left ventricle, aorta, superior vena cava and the right atrium)
The Systematic circuit
The anterior surface of the heart is the (blank)
Sternocostal surface
the outer layer of the (blank) is (blank) connective tissue and attached to the base of the great vessels
Pericardium; Fibrous connective tissue
