Lecture 1 Flashcards
The cardiovascular system consists of:
Circulatory blood vessels
Heart
Regulatory cells
The venous side of the circulatory system is known as this side
The capacitance side
The arterial side of the circulatory system is considered this side:
The resistance side
Blood return from dependent areas are supported by these 2:
Valves & skeletal muscle contraction.
Intravascular Blood Distribution of the veins (%)
64%
Intravascular Blood Distribution of the lungs (%)
9%
Intravascular Blood Distribution of the capillaries (%)
5%
Intravascular Blood Distribution of the greater arteries (%)
7%
Intravascular Blood Distribution of the lesser arteries & arterioles (%)
8%
Intravascular Blood Distribution of the heart during diastole (%)
7%
Of the 4 heart chambers, these are the priming pumps
Atria
This structure is attached to the diaphragm, spinal column & other attachment sites.
It also has a major influence on resting diastolic pressure.
Pericardium
The outer membrane of the pericardium is known as the…
fibrous parietal pericardium
The inner membrane of the pericardium is known as the…
serous visceral pericardium
Pericardial fluid is produced by this membrane
inner/serous visceral pericardium
Presence of excess fluid in the pericardial sac generally due to pericarditis is known as…
Pericardial Effusion
Which ventricle has more wall musculature?
Left ventricle by 3x
Valves that regulate blood movement into the aorta and pulmonary artery.
Semi-lunar valves
Valves present between atria and ventricles on each side of the heart.
Atrioventricular valves
The atrioventriculr valve on the left side of the heart is called…
Mitral valve
