Lab E2 Flashcards
Location of the Heart
Between the 1st and 5th intercostal spaces when in anatomical position
Located within the thoracic cavity in a space called the mediastinum
RA -> RV -> LA -> LV
RA -> RV -> LA -> LV
LV has thicker muscle to pump blood to entire body
LV has thicker muscle to pump blood to entire body
3 things that drain to the RA
IVC, SVC, and Coronary Sinus
Right side
brings deoxygenated blood back to heart
Right side
brings deoxygenated blood back to heart
Pulmonary trunk
takes blood to lungs
Pulmonary trunk
takes blood to lungs
Left side
LA receives blood from lungs oxygenated
LV feeds oxygenated blood to body
Left side
LA receives blood from lungs oxygenated
LV feeds oxygenated blood to body
Valves
atrioventricular
Valves
atrioventricular
Tricuspid and Bicuspid(mitral) valves
separates atriums and ventricles
Valves
semilunar
semilunar
pulmonary and aortic
separate anything from leaving the ventricles
AV are active valves
chorde tendinae pull on the valve to actively open it
Semilunar valve
passive
as heart contracts the pressure builds up which causes the opening of the valves
Layers of heart
Endocardium
innermost layer which touches blood
Myocardium
thick muscular layer
epicardium
outside
Pericardium
the sac the heart is in
When atria contract the ventricles relax
when ventricles contract the atria relax
The heart can move a little depending on body position
The heart can move a little depending on body position
Systole
Systolic then diastolic
Systole = ventricular contraction
semilunar valves open
AV valves close(prevents back flow)
Diastolic
Systolic then diastolic
Diastolic = ventricular relaxation filling phase ventricules get blood from the artia AV valves are open Semilunar valves close
Semilunar Valves – prevents backflow into the ventricles when ventricles relax
Pulmonary valve
Controls blood flow of deoxygenated blood from right side of heart into pulmonary trunk
Aortic valve
Regulates the oxygenated blood flow from the left side of heart into the aorta
Semilunar Valves – prevents backflow into the ventricles when ventricles relax
Pulmonary valve
Controls blood flow of deoxygenated blood from right side of heart into pulmonary trunk
Aortic valve
Regulates the oxygenated blood flow from the left side of heart into the aorta
Atrioventricular Valves (AV) – prevents backflow into the atria when ventricles contract
Tricuspid valve
Right side between right atrium and ventricle
Bicuspid valve
Left side between left atrium and ventricle
Atrioventricular Valves (AV) – prevents backflow into the atria when ventricles contract
Tricuspid valve
Right side between right atrium and ventricle
Bicuspid valve
Left side between left atrium and ventricle
Arteries = leaving the heart
Vein = towards the heart
Pulmonary system arteries are deoxygenated
in systemic system the arteries are oxygenated
Arteries = leaving the heart
Vein = towards the heart
Pulmonary system arteries are deoxygenated
in systemic system the arteries are oxygenated
Pulmonary circuit
Blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs
Receives oxygen poor blood from the body tissues and then pumps this blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and dispel carbon dioxide
Systemic circuit
The vessels that transport blood to and from all body tissues and back to the heart
Receives the oxygenated blood returning from the lungs and pumps this blood throughout the body
Layers of vein
Tunica intima is the innermost layer that touches blood
Tunica media
muscular layer
controls vasocontriction and vasodilation
Tunica adventitia
outermost layer
Vein has a one way valve
venous system has low BP
valve prevents backflow
