Lecture 1 – Circ System I – Heart Flashcards
overview of cardiovascular system:
cardiovascular system contains…
heart and blood vessels only
overview of cardiovascular system:
circulatory system contains…
heart, blood vessels, AND the blood
LO: define and distinguish b/n the pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit:
pulmonary vs. systemic
pulmonary –about blood exchange with lungs
systemic – about blood exchange with body
LO: define and distinguish b/n the pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit:
describe left side of heart:
fully oxygenated blood arrives from lungs via pulmonary veins
blood sent to all organs of the body via aorta
LO: define and distinguish b/n the pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit:
describe right side of heart:
oxygen-poor blood arrives from inferior and superior vena cava
blood sent to lungs via pulmonary trunk
LO: define and distinguish b/n the pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit:
systemic circulation pathway:
left ventricle
aorta
systemic capillaries
venae cavae (superior and inferior)
right atrium
LO: define and distinguish b/n the pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit:
pulmonary circulation pathway:
right ventricle
pulmonary trunk to pulmonary arteries
pulmonary capillaries
pulmonary veins
left atrium
LO: describe general location, size, and shape of heart:
heart is located in ___, between ___
mediastinum
lunsg
LO: describe general location, size, and shape of heart:
base of heart:
(size), ___ portion of heart, ___ ___ attach here
wide, superior portion of heart, large vessels attach here
LO: describe general location, size, and shape of heart:
apex:
___ ___ end, tilts to the ___
tapered inferior end, tilts to the left
LO: describe general location, size, and shape of heart:
in adult:
heart weighs ___ ounces, ___ in. wide at base, ___ in. from base to apex
at any age, heart is size of ___
10 ounces
3.5 in. wide at base
5 in. from base to apex
fist
LO: describe general location, size, and shape of heart:
position in thoracic cavity:
b/n sternum, rib 3, and diaphragm
LO: describe the pericardium that encloses the heart:
pericardium is a ___-walled sac that ___ the heart
double-walled
LO: describe the pericardium that encloses the heart:
pericardium allows…
heart to beat with/without friction
provides room to ___, yet resists ___ ___
beat w/o friction
provides room to expand, yet resists excessive expansion
LO: describe the pericardium that encloses the heart:
pericardium is anchored to…
diaphragm inferiorly and sternum anteriorly
LO: describe the pericardium that encloses the heart:
describe fibrous pericardium:
outer wall, not attached to heart
LO: describe the pericardium that encloses the heart:
describe serous pericardium:
parietal layer – lines fibrous pericardium
visceral layer (epicardium) – covers heart surface
LO: describe the pericardium that encloses the heart:
describe pericardial cavity:
space b/n parietal and visceral layers of serous pericardium
filled w/ 5-30 mL of pericardial fluid
LO: describe the pericardium that encloses the heart:
describe pericarditis:
painful inflammation of the membranes
LO: describe the 3 layers of the heart wall:
3 layers of heart wall:
epicardium
myocardium
endocardium
LO: describe the 3 layers of the heart wall:
describe the epicardium:
same as visceral layer of serous pericardium
serous membrane covering heart
adipose in thick layer in some places
coronary blood vessels travel thru this layer
LO: describe the 3 layers of the heart wall:
describe the endocardium:
- what does it consist of?
- What part/where does it cover?
smooth inner lining of heart and blood vessels
covers the valve surfaces and is continuous w/ endothelium of blood vessels
LO: describe the 3 layers of the heart wall:
describe the myocardium:
layer of cardiac muscle proportional to workload
muscle spirals which produce wringing motion, vortex of the heart
fibrous skeleton of the heart: framework of collagenous and elastic fibers
provides structural support and attachment for cardiac muscle and anchors for valve tissue
electrical insulation b/n atria and ventricles;
important in timing and coordination of contractile activity
LO: identify the 4 chambers of the heart
what are they?
right and left atria
right and left ventricles
