Lecture 8+9: blood circuits and the heart Flashcards
systemic veins carry
deoxygenated blood to the heart
output of heart
14,000L of blood output per day
5L blood per minute
systemic arteries carry
oxygenated blood away from heart
location of blood volume
7% in heart
9% in pulmonary circuit
84% in systemic circuit
pulmonary arteries carry
deoxygenated blood to lungs
pulmonary veins carry
oxygenated blood to heat
relationship between chamber volume and pressure
high volume low pressure
low volume high pressure
purpose of atrium and auricle
means blood can continuous collect and flow even while inlet valve to ventricle is closed
peak pressure
Right ventricle:27 mmHg (20-35)
left ventricle: 120mmHg (100-140)
right atrium: 5 (0-5)
left atrium: 8mmHg (4-8)
pulmonary trunk purpose
carries deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs
mitral valve
bicuspid atrioventricular valve between left atrium and left ventricle
apex of heart orientation
relative to patient:
point inferiorly, anteriorly and to the left
orientation of heart’s right border
relative to patient:
right atrium primarily
orientation of hearts inferior border
relative to patient: formed mainly by right ventricle
orientation of heart left border
formed mainly by left ventricle and part of left atrium/auricle
