Lesson 4 Flashcards
Closed system of the heart and blood vessels
Cardiovascular system
The heart pumps blood into the arteries and received blood from the veins
Cardiovascular system
The function is to deliver and nutrients and to remove carbon dioxide and other waste products
Cardiovascular system
Thorax between the lungs
Heart
Pointed apex directed toward left hip
Heart
A serous double serous membrane
Pericardium
2 types of pericardium
Visceral pericardium
Parietal pericardium
Forms the inner layer of the serous pericardium, also called epicardium
Visceral pericardium
Forms the outer layer of the serous pericardium
Parietal pericardium
Three layers
The heart wall
Outside layer and covers the heart
Epicardium
Middle layer
Myocardium
Contracts to pump blood into the arteries
Myocardium
Lines the interior of the chambers and covers the heart valves
Endocardium
Blood supply to the myocardium:
Coronary arteries
Coronary sinus
The main arteries that supply blood to and remove waste products from the muscle of the heart
Coronary arteries
A dilated veins that collects blood from the myocardium and opens into the right atrium near the anterior vena cava
Coronary sinus
The chambers of the heart:
Right atrium
Right ventricle
Left atrium
Left ventricle
The valves
Receives blood from the vena cavae and the coronary sinus
Right atrium
Pumps blood into the right ventricle
Right atrium
Receives blood from the right atrium and pumps blood into pulmonary artery, which carries the blood to the lungs for oxygenated
Right ventricle
Receives oxygenated blood coming back to the heart from the lungs in the pulmonary veins
Left atrium
Pumps blood into the left ventricle
Left atrium
Receives blood from the left atrium
Left ventricle
Pumps blood into the aorta to be carried to tissues in the systematic circuit
Left ventricle
One way valves that direct blood flow in only one direction
The valves
Located in between atria and ventricles
Atrioventricular (AV) Valves
Atrioventricular (AV) Valves:
Bicuspid (Left)
Tricuspid (Right)
Semilunar valves:
Pulmonary semilunar valves
Aortic semilunar valves
2 types of the Valves:
Atrioventricular valves
Semilunar valves
Valve with 2 cusps
Bicuspid (left)
a.k.a Mitral valve
Bicuspid (left)
Prevents blood from flowing back up into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts (systole)
