Q

What is pulmonary circulation?

A

Where deoxygenated blood exits from the right side of the heart and into the lungs to be oxygenated and return via the left side of the heart

12
Q

What is systematic circulation?

A

Where oxygenated blood travels out of the left side of the heart and into the capillary beds. Here, the oxygen and nutrients is used and the blood returns to the right side of the heart, deoxygenated.

Q

How are major arteries situated in the body?

A

Deep in the trunk or on flexor aspects of limbs. Natural reflexes are in place to protect and important structures (e.g. brain) are often supplied by more than one source.

23
Q

How is the heart rotated?

A

Left and tilted so base is more posterior and apex is more anterior

24
Q

What is the anatomical location of the PMI of the heart?

A

Directly inferior to the midclavicular line between the 5th and 6th rib

25
Q

Where is the thoracic cavity?

A

In the mediastinum

26
Q

What is PMI?

A

Point of maximal impulse

27
Q

How big is the heart?

A

Approximately that of a closed fist

28
Q

What is the function of the aorta?

A

It pumps blood into the systemic circuit

29
Q

What is the function of the superior vena cava?

A

Receives deoxygenated blood from the head, neck, chest, and upper limbs

30
Q

What is the function of the right atrium?

A

Receives deoxygenated blood from the vena cava’s

31
Q

What is the function of the right pulmonary veins?

A

Carries oxygenated blood from the right lung

32
Q

What is the function of the opening of the coronary sinus?

A

Receives deoxygenated blood from the heart itself.

33
Q

What is the function of the Atrioventricular valves?

A

Controls flow of blood from the atriums to the ventricles. Ensuring it only flows in one direction

34
Q

Where is the atrioventricular tricuspid valve?

A

On the right side of the heart

35
Q

Where is the atrioventricular bicuspid valve?

A

On the left side of the heart

36
Q

What is the function of the inferior vena cava

A

Receives all deoxygenated blood from below the diaphragm

37
Q

What is the function of the right ventricle

A

Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs

38
Q

What is the function of the interventricular septum?

A

To separate the two ventricles

39
Q

What is the function of the left ventricle

A

Pumps oxygenated blood to the systemic circuit

40
Q

What is the function of the pulmonary (semilunar) valve?

A

Controls the flow of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery

41
Q

What is the function of the left pulmonary veins?

A

Carries oxygenated blood from the left lung

42
Q

What is the function of the left atrium?

A

Receives oxygenated blood

43
Q

What are the atria of the heart?

A

Thin walled receiving chambers. One on left and one on right

44
Q

The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from…?

A

The superior vena cava, inferior vena cava and the coronary sinus

45
Q

The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from…?

A

The four pulmonary veins

46
Q

What are the layers of the heart wall?

A

Endocardium, Myocardium, Epicardium

47
Q

What is the sac where the heat sits?

A

The pericardium

48
Q

What is the function of the pericardium?

A

To protect and lubricate the heart in order to eliminate damage due to friction

49
Q

What does the endocardium consist of?

A

Simple squamous epithelium cells called endothelium cells and a matrix of extracellular loose irregular fibrous connective tissue

50
Q

What is the function of the endothelium cells?

A

To provide a non-stick layer to ensure blood does not coagulate and clot on the heart wall

51
Q

What is the myocardium?

A

The muscle cells of the heart

52
Q

What is the thickness of the left and right myocardial layer of the ventricles?

A

1.5cm and 0.5cm respectively

53
Q

Why is the left myocardial layer thicker than the right?

A

More pumping pressure is required on the left to move the blood around the systemic circuit

54
Q

What does the epicardium contain?

A

Visceral pericardium, blood vessels, loose irregular fibrous connective tissue and adipose

55
Q

What are the layers of the pericardium?

A

Parietal pericardium (superficial), pericardium fluid, visceral pericardium (deep)

56
Q

What is superficial to the parietal pericardium?

A

The fibrous pericardium

57
Q

What structure is continuous between the pericardium and epicardium?

A

The visceral serous pericardium
