Lecture 8 Flashcards
The heart is a closed loop system made of
2 receiving chambers and two pumping chambers
______________ take blood away from the heart
arteries
______________ take blood to the heart
veins
right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs for gas exchange in ____________
pulmonary circuit
left side of heart pumps blood to body for oxygen and nutrient supply in _______________
systemic circulation
heart and root of great vessels in __________________
mediastinum
_______________ the most superfisical Layer of the pericardium. Acts to protect the heart by anchoring sit to the surrounding walls
function of the fibrous paracardium
what are the two layers of the serious paracardium
parietal layers- parietal pericardium
visceral
visceral layer- visceral pericardium
________________ helps lubricate my heart
serous pericardium
What are the three layers of the heart wall
- epicardium
- myocardium
- endocardium
____________ most anterior of the four heart chambers. It received deoxygenated blood
right ventricle
________________ thickest of heart chambers and is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood all over the body
left ventricle
________________ a wall separating the ventricles the lower chambers of the heart
interventricular septum
___-_____________________ arranged networks of cardia muscles called bundles, they squeeze blood through the heart
circular and spiral cardiac muscles
________________ surrounds the valves, considered the level of the atrioventricular septum
connective tissue within the heart
- enters R atrium from superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, or coronary sinus
- enters r ventricle by passing through the tricuspid valve (R antroventricular)
- right ventricle propels blood past the pulmonary similar valve into the pulmonary trunk and then to the L and R pulmonary arteries
- resturns from lungs in pulmonary veins entering into the L atrium
- enter L ventricle through mitral or bicuspid valve
- left ventricle propels blood past aortic semilunar valve into ascending aorta
- animation of blood flow through the human heart
blood flow through heart
