LECTURE exam 3- Ch.21 Flashcards
- left side of heart: ____ blood
- right side of heart: ____ blood
oxygen-rich blood; oxygen-poor blood
pulmonary circuit: __
systemic circuit: __
send blood to lungs; send blood to body (except lungs)
arteries: __
veins: __
blood away from heart; blood back to heart
thin vessels between arteries & veins; sites of exchange
capillaries
outer layer; attaches to the diaphragm
fibrous pericardium
inner layer; secretes pericardial fluid
- parietal
- visceral
serous pericardium
- between epicardium (visceral) & parietal layer
- pericardial fluid
- reduces friction while heart pumps
pericardial cavity
outer layer of pericardial cavity, fused to fibrous pericardium
parietal (serous pericardium)
exterior of heart; epicardium
visceral (serous pericardium)
external surface
- visceral pericardium
epicardium
cardiac tissue
- including cardiac muscle cells, connective tissue, blood vessels, & nerves
myocardium
oxygen-poor blood enters the heart via the ____. The ___ prevents oxygen-rich blood from coming back into the heart.
vena cava; aortic semilunar valve
internal surface of heart
- endothelial surface; simple squamous
endocardium
Whats A
large vein
Whats B
large artery
Whats C
arteriole
Whats D
capillary
Whats E
venule
whats A
pleural cavity
whats B
pericardial cavity
whats C
visceral layer
whats D
pericardial cavity
whats E
parietal layer
whats A
myocardium
whats B
endocardium
whats C
pericardial cavity
whats D
parietal layer of serous pericardium
whats E
visceral layer of serous pericardium (epicardium)
- myogenic
- highly dependent on aerobic respiration
- very high amount of myoglobin & mitochondria
- one nucleus per cell
- highly vascularized
- short t-tubules
- intercalated discs
- branching arrangement
cardiac muscles (characteristics)
- desmosomes
- gap junctions
- functional syncytium
intercalated discs
lock adjacent cells together
- Z discs bound via fascia adherens
desmosomes
allow for the transfer of ions & APs
gap junctions
linked cells contract as one unit
functional syncytium
- stabilizes position of cardiac cells
- stabilizes position of valves
- provides blood vessels & nerves in myocardium
- distribute forces of contraction
- prevent overexpansion
- provides elasticity so heart recoils after contraction
- isolates atrial cells from ventricular cells
cardiac skeleton (functions)
