More part two on the heart Flashcards
What are the risks of an uncoordinated cardiac cycle?
Blood flow is compromised
risk of reversing blood flow
Reversing blood flow can trigger blood clots
Valves are there to ensure one-way blood flow
The heart and circuits rely on correct
blood flow volume
What are the steps of a coordinated cardiac cycle?
Atrium volume is the same as
ventricular volume
Where does the right ventricle pump blood
Into the pulmonary circuit aka lungs
Where does the left ventricle pump blood?
Into the systematic circuit aka the rest of the body
pulmonary menas
lungs
The aorta delivers blood
to the entire body
fluid build up in the lungs because
you pumped too much blood
The lungs exist to vent a
toxic gas from your body/breathing out carbon dioxide
There’s one artery for every
bone
blood returns to the
heart vy vein
Two circuits
must be balanced
