KIN 100 Final (Lecture 14 - 16) Flashcards
Why do we have two circuits and 4 chambers in the heart?
- In order to maintain blood pressure
- so oxygenated blood doesnt mix with deoxygenated
- the two circuits are systemic and pulmonary
The heart (facts)
- Anterior to mediastinum
- 2/3rds on the left side
- 4 borders
The pericardium
- sack that surrounds the heart
Epicardium
- on the outside of the heart
myocardium
- contractile muscles of the heart
- cardiac muscle tissue
Endocardium
- the inside of the heart
- simple squamous epithelium
Intercalated disk (What is it?)
- makes conduction occur faster
How does the conducting system of the heart flow?
- SA node
- Internodal pathways
- AV node
- AV bundles
- Bundle branches
- Purkinje Fibers
Arteries of the head
brachiocephalic trunk
subclavian common carotid
vertebral internal and external carotid
Arteries of the brain
- Basilar
- internal carotid
- vertebral
- cerebral atrial circle
Veins of the head
internal jugular external jugular
sigmoid sinus
right transverse sinus
superior sagittal sinus
Internal inspiration (consists of?)
- oxygen utilization
- energy production by cells
- gas exchange between blood and tissues
External inspiration (consists of?)
- gas exchange between blood and air
- acts of breathing
5 Requirements for respiration to occur
- Surface for gas exchange
- selectively permiable membrane for diffusion
- moist membrane for diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide
- Extensive capillary network
- effective ventilation
The upper respitory system consists of?
- nose
- pharynx
The lower respitory system consists of?
- Larynx
- Trachea
- Bronchial tree
- Pulmonary alveoli
- Lungs
Nasal Conche (what do they do?)
- Increase turbulence
- increase humidity
- increase time in nose to increase temperature
The pharynx (3 parts)
- Nasopharynx
- Oropharynx
- Laryngopharynx
The larynx (functions)
- Connects laryngopharynx with trachea
- prevents food from entering trachea
- produces sound
- framework for 9 cartilages
- 3 large paired
- 6 small unpaired
Epiglottis (what does it do?)
- Controls where food goes
Laryngeal prominence (what is it?)
- its known as our Adams apple
Vocal cords (what are they?)
- vocal folds: true vocal cords
- vestibular folds: support vocal cords
