lecture exam 2 (cardiovascular and respiratory) Flashcards
pulmonary circulation
lung circulation
deoxygenated blood from the right side
systemic circulation
body circulation
oxygenated blood from the left side
aorto
aorta
arterio
artery
cardio
heart
veno and phlebo
vein
angio
blood vessel
hemo and sanguino
blood
apex
pointed caudal end
base
rounded cranial end
mediastinum
space between 2 lungs
pericardial sac
fibrous sac containing the heart
auricle
blind pouch off of an atrium
ventricles
separated by interventricular groove; pump blood out of the heart
atria
receive blood, contract and send blood to ventricles
pericardium
fibrous sac containing heart and the linings
epicardium
visceral layer
myocardium
muscle sheets
endocardium
covers papillary muscles and valves
chordae tendineae
prevents valves from opening backwards
4 functions of the heart
- separates atria and ventricles
- anchors heart valves
- point of attachment for myocardium
- electrical insulation between atria and ventricles
autorhythmic
cardiac muscle created its own contractions and relaxations
deoxygenated blood
from right side of heart to lungs
oxygenated blood
from left side of heart to body (walls are thicker; more blood)
