Q

describe the clotting process

A

step 1: platelets clump at the site of the punctured vessel and partially seal the hole
step 2: proteins are produced which form long threads of fibrin
step 3: fibrin threads wind around the clump of platelets completing the seal

Q

muscle of the heart

A

myocardium

23
Q

The atria are often called receiving chambers because they receive _____.

A

blood from the veins

24
Q

Myocardium is thicker in the ventricles rather than the atria because…

A

it pumpes blood through the whole body

25
Q

4 major structures of the conduction system of the heart

A
  • the sinoatrial (SA) Node/pacemeker
  • the atrioventricula (AV) node
  • the AV bundle
  • the purkinje system
26
Q

which structure of the conduction system initiates signal or is the trigger? or pacemaker

A

the Sinoatrial (SA) Node

Q

where is the AV found

33
Q

the myocardium is thickest around?

A

ventricles

34
Q

left side of the heart pumps blood to the body

A

systemic circuit

35
Q

right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs …

A

pulmonary circuit

36
Q

**3 types of blood vessels

A
  1. arteries
  2. veins

37
Q

arteries

A

carry blood away from the heart

38
Q

carry blood towards the heart

39
Q

capillaries

A

sites of all exchanges of materials between blood and tissues

40
Q

3 types of capillaries

A

continuous, fenestrated and sinusoids

41
Q

veins have 3 layers but with …

A

less smooth muscle and connective tissue

42
Q

heart beat is also known as

A

cardiac cycle

43

47
Q

heartbeat is regulated electrically by:

A

brain (medulla oblongata)

48
Q

the electrocardiogram

A

records hearts electrical activity

49
Q

**5 phases of the Cardiac cycle:
