hell Flashcards
Closed circulatory system
use a pumping heart to move blood through vessels
-ex: annelida (earthworms(
2 chambered hearts?
Ex: fish
-Atrium and Ventricle
Flow of blood to the Right Atrium?
1) Deoxygenated blood is returned from:
- Upper Superior Vena Cava
- Lower Inferior Vena Cava
2) Blood passes through the right AV valve or tricuspid valve to the right ventricle
AV valve
Or tricuspid valve
-attached to papillary muscles which contract to close the AV wolves and prevent back flow of blood
R atrium and R ventircule
Flow of Blood:
Right Ventricle
Pumps deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve to the pulmonary artery
-blood enters pulmonary circulation
What occurs when the ventricle contracts? relaxes?
Contracts:
The AV valve closes
Pulmonary semilunar valve opens and deoxygenated blood is released to pulmonary artery
Relaxes?
AV valve opens and refills ventricle
pulmonary semilunar valve closes to prevent backflow
Blood Flow: Left Atrium
oxygenated blood is returned from the lungs via the pulmonary Vein
-blood passes through the Bicuspid valve or mitral valve to the left ventricle
What is the most muscular chamber of the heart?
left ventricle
Blood flow: left ventricle
pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta and systemic circulation
Pulmonary Circulation
moves deoxygenated blood from heart to the lungs and back in order for it to become oxygenated
Systemic circulation
moves oxygenated blood from he heart through the body
Cardiomyocytes
heart muscle cells
-contain automaticity-self-excitable and able to initiate an action potential without an external nerve
SA Node
pace maker of the heart
- located in the upper wall of the right atrium
- initiates the cardiac cycle
- greatest automaticity
sends signal to contract both atria to send blood to ventricles
-also signal to the AV node to initiate contraction too
AV Node
located in the lower wall of the right atrium
- fx: adds a brief delay between the contraction of the atria and the contraction fo the ventricles
- sends a signal to the bundle of His
Bundle of His
located in the inter ventricular septum between the ventricles
-carris signal to the purkinje fibers which contract the ventricles
Heart Sound:
Lub vs Dub
Lub:(AV valves snapping shut)
- atria are relaxed
- ventricles are contracting
Dub: (semilunar valve shutting)
- atria are contracting
- ventricles relaxed
When does Systole Occur? Diastole?
Systole between Lub dub sounds
Diastole after dub before next Lub
P, Q, R, S wave?
P=atria depolarization
Q-depolarization through interventiruclar septum
R=ventricular depolarizatoin
S=completion of ventricular depolarization
Heart Rate (HR)
how fast the heart beats per min
Tachycardia
greater than 100 beats per min
Bradycardia
less than 60 beats per min
Stroke Volume (SV)
the volume of blood pumped from the heart each beat
Diastolic Volume-Systolic Volume
Cardiac Output (CO)
volume of blood being pumper per min
CO=SV x HR
Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR)
total amount of resistance that blood phases when flowing through the vasculature of the body
- Vasoconstriction- increases TPR
- Vasodilation-decreases TPR
