Vertebral column
The heart is in the ________ sac
pericardial
The heart pumps blood to and from cells through…
systemic circulation
The heart pumps blood to and from the lungs through…
pulmonary circulation
The heart provides blood supply to itself through…
coronary circulation
Ligamentum arteriosum before birth is called…
ductus arteriosus
Sulci are grooves on the surface of the heart containing…
coronary blood vessels and fat
Coronary sulcus encircles the heart and marks the boundary between…
the atria and ventricles
Anterior interventricular sulcus marks the boundary between…
the ventricles anteriorly
Atria beat…
together
Ventricles beat…
together
How does blood flow?
Pressure differences
“double pump”
Pulmonary and systemic
Which chambers must generate the most force?
Ventricles - they pump a much larger difference
Heart layers
Endocardium
Myocardium
Pericardium
Within the pericardium is the…
serous pericardium - epicardium and parietal pericardium
Fibrous pericardium
The fibrous pericardium is attached to the…
diaphragm
Interatrial septum contains…
Fossa ovalis
Coronary sinus
The pectinate muscles are mostly in the…
right atrium
Fetal heart structures
Formen ovale
Ductus arteriosus
Formen ovale
Allows blood to pass from the right atrium to left atrium
Bypass lungs
Fetal
Ductus arteriosus
Connects pulmonary trunk with the aorta
Bypass lungs
Fetal
Chambers
Atria + Ventricles
Valves
Tricuspid
Biscupid
Pulmonary
Aortic
Contraction of a heart chamber means it is…
depolarized
Repolarization of a heart chamber means it is…
relaxed
The sino-atrial node is responsible for…
atrial depolarization/contraction
What is responsible for the “lub” sound?
Atrioventicular valves
(tri+bi)
Semilunar valves
Aortic and pulmonary
Atrioventricular valves
Tricuspid and Biscupid
What is responsible for the “dup” sound?
Semilunar valves
(aortic + pulmonary)
Open pulmonic and aortic valves
systole
Closed pulmonic and aortic valves
diastole
What are the three circulations?
Pulmonary
Systemic
Coronary
Intrinsic autorhythmicity
Parasympathetic nervous system slows your heart rate
Electrical activity pathway
- SA node
- AV node
- AV bundle (bundle of his)
- R+L bundle branches
- Subendocardial conducting network (purkinje fibers)
P wave representation
Atrial depolarization
QRS complex representation
Ventricular depolarization
T wave representation
Ventricular repolarization
What does an ECG not show?
ECG does not show force of contraction
Contraction of the ventricles
Systole
Relaxation of the ventricles (filling)
Diastole
Abnormally fast heart beat
Tachycardia
Abnormally slow heart beat
Bradycardia
Amount of blood pumped out per systole
Stroke volume
Blood output per minute
Cardiac output
Volume of blood in ventricle before ejection
End-diastolic volume
Volume of blood in ventricle after ejection
End-systolic volume
Which layer is both a part of the pericardium and the heart wall?
visceral layer of the serous pericardium
Which blood vessels deliver blood to the right atrium?
Superior and inferior vena cava
Which blood vessels deliver blood to the left atrium?
Pulmonary veins
Which valves prevent back flow into the ventricles?
Semilunar valves
(pulmonary and aortic)
Which valves prevent back flow into the atria?
Tricuspid and Biscupid
AV valves
Which valves prevent back flow into the atria?
Tricuspid and Biscupid
AV valves
