29
Q

what do the 2 ventricles do

A

propel blood into systemic and pulmonary circulation

30
Q

what is the heart wall

A

muscle tissue (myocardium)
muscular septum

31
Q

what separates the 2 heart halves

A

muscular septum

32
Q

what is the endocardium

A

epithelium covering the inner surface

33
Q

what is the endocardium equivalent to

A

endothelium of blood vessels. - very glossy

34
Q

where does the heart get oxygenated

A

from blood vessels outside of the heart

35
Q

what are valves made of

A

fibrous connective tissue attached to fibrous ring

36
Q

what is the purpose of valves

A

allow blood to flow in only 1 direction

37
Q

which AV valve is on the left

A

bicuspid (mitral)

38
Q

which AV valve is on the right

A

tricuspid

39
Q

how do the AV valves prevent inversion and limit movement

A

free end of AV valves attached to papillary muscle in ventricle

40
Q

where is the aortic semilunar valve located

A

between left ventricle and aorta

41
Q

where is the pulmonary semilunar valve located

A

between right ventricle and pulmonary artery

42
Q

what do the chordae tendineae do

A

link valves and prevent valves from flipping the other way (acts as anchor)

43
Q

what type of mechanism is the opening and closing of valves

A

passive

44
Q

what is the opening and closing of valves dependent on

A

blood pressure

45
Q

what do arteries do

A

convey blood from the heart to tissues and organs

46
Q

what do the pulmonary arteries do

A

leave the right ventricle to bring deoxygenated blood to the lungs

47
Q

what does the aorta do

A

leaves the left ventricle to bring oxygenated blood to the rest of the body

48
Q

what do veins do

A

convey blood from the tissues and organs to the heart

49
Q

what are the 2 vena cava options

A

cranial or superior
caudal or inferior

50
Q

what do the vena cava do

A

bring deoxygenated blood to right atrium

51
Q

what does the pulmonary vein do

A

brings oxygenated blood to the left atrium

52
Q

where do arteries branch off

A

aorta
pulmonary arteries

53
Q

why must arteries be elastic

A

receive tremendous pressure from ventricle contractions - absorb pressure

54
Q

what do arteries conduct

A

vessels for blood

55
Q

what do small arteries do

A

deliver blood locally to arterioles and capillaries in tissues

56
Q

what do small arteries control

A

the pressure via tone of vessel’s smooth muscle

57
Q

what are capillaries the site of

A

gas exchange
nutrient etc

58
Q

why must arteries be so elastic

A

as more branches occur, blood pressure decreases - therefore arteries have much higher pressure

59
Q

what do venues do

A

collect blood from capillaries

60
Q

what do veins do

A

receive blood from venues and return it to heart

61
Q

what might alter the venous return

A

change in tone

62
Q

what is the heart/lungs loop to oxygenated blood

A

pulmonary system

63
Q

characteristics of pulmonary system

A

relatively low blood pressure
low resistance
highly distensible

64
Q

what is responsible for the distribution of oxygenated blood and nutrient throughout body

A

systemic system

65
Q

characteristics of systemic system

A

high pressure, high resistance

66
Q

which ventricle performs more work and by how much

A

left ventricle by 5-7 fold - wall much thicker

67
Q

cardiac output

A

blood pumped by each half of the heart per minute

68
Q

what does the cardiac output depend on

A

needs/functions of various organs

69
Q

what is the cardiac cycle

A

repeating pattern of contraction and relaxation of the heart

70
Q

what is the systole phase

A

phase of contraction

71
Q

what is the diastole phase

A

phase of relaxation/filling

72
Q

does the heart contract all at once

A

no - 2 step pumping
