Lab 2: Cardiovascular Anatomy Flashcards
What does the term AURICLE mean?
Ear-shaped
What does the CORONARY SULCUS separate?
R. ATRIUM from the R. VENTRICLE
What does the INTERVENTRICULAR SULCUS separate?
Separates L. and R. VENTRICLES
What happens when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked?
The muscle tissues begin to die
Where does the R. ATRIUM receive blood from? Is it OXYGENATED or DEOXYGENATED blood?
Receives DEOXYGENATED blood from the SUPERIOR and INFERIOR VENA CAVA and from the CORONARY SINUS
The PULMONARY TRUNK branches into the ?
L. and R. PULMONARY ARTERIES (going to the LUNGS)
Do the PULMONARY ARTERIES carry OXYGENATED or DEOXYGENATED blood?
DEOXYGENATED
Do the PULMONARY VEINS carry OXYGENATED or DEOXYGENATED blood?
OXYGENATED
Why is the L. VENTRICLE wall so much thicker than the R.?
Because the L. VENTRICLE pumps blood to the whole body, as opposed to just the LUNGS
F of PULMONARY ARTERIES
F - Carry DEOXYGENATED blood away from the HEART, to the LUNGS
F of PULMONARY VEINS
F - Carry OXYGENATED blood to the HEART from the LUNGS
F of CAPILLARIES
F - Bring nutrients and O2 to tissues and remove waste products
VEIN or ARTERY:
Has valves
VEIN
VEIN or ARTERY:
Has a thick TUNICA MEDIA
ARTERIES
VEIN or ARTERY:
Most elastic BLOOD VESSEL
ARTERY
Which TUNIC plays an active role in regulating blood pressure?
TUNICA INTIMA
