Learning Outcome 3 Flashcards
Vena cava
Carries deoxygenated blood to the right atrium
Right atrium
Caries deoxygenated blood through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle
Tricuspid valve
Prevents deoxygenated blood going back into right atrium
Right ventricle
Caries deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary artery
Pulmonary valve
Stops deoxygenated blood going back to right ventricle
Pulmonary artery
Caries deoxygenated blood to lungs which is turned into oxygenated blood
Pulmonary vein
Carries oxygenated blood from lungs to left atrium
Left atrium
Carries oxygenated blood through bicuspid valve to left ventricle
Bicuspid valve
Prevents oxygenated blood going back into left atrium
Left ventricle
Carries oxygenated blood to aorta
Aortic valve
Prevents oxygenated blood going back into left atrium
Aorta
Carries oxygenated blood to establish of body, muscles
Stroke volume
The volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle in each beat
Typical stroke volume is 70 ml
Heart rate
The number of times the heart beats per minute
Typical resting is between 60-80
Cardiac output
The volume of blood pumped from the heart per minute. Typical in 5000 ml
Estimating stroke volume
Cardiac output / Heart rate
Estimating cardiac output
Stroke volume x heart rate
Maximum heart rate
Stroke volume x maximal heart rate
Maximal heart rate = 220- age
