NEWBORN (Cardiovascular Disorders) Flashcards
Hallow, muscular organ located in the center of the thorax, between the lungs (mediastinum), and rests on the diaphragm
HEART
Pumps blood to the tissues, supplying them with oxygen and other nutrients
HEART
4 LAYERS OF THE HEART ?
PEME
Pericardium (sac that encloses the heart
Endocardium (endothelial tissue)
Myocardium (muscle fibers)
Epicardium (viscera)
4 CHAMBERS OF THE HEART ?
RRLL
- Right atrium (receives deoxygenated blood)
- Right ventricle (pumps blood to the lungs)
- Left atrium (receives blood from the lungs)
- Left ventricle (pumps blood out to the entire body)
4 VALVES OF THE HEART ?
– Atrioventricular valves (Tricuspid; between the right atrium and ventricle)
– Semilunar valves (pumps blood to the lungs)
– Pulmonary valves (between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery)
– Aortic valves (between the left ventricle and aorta)
Fibrous tissue that separates the heart into left and right
SEPTUM
Located between the right atrium and ventricle
TRICUSPID VALVE
This valve pumps blood into the lungs
SEMI LUNAR VALVEL
Located between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery
PULMONARY VALVE
Located between the left ventricle and aorta
AORTIC VALVE
This chamber receives deoxygenated blood
RIGHT ATRIUM
This receives blood from the lungs
LEFT ATRIUM
This chamber pumps blood to the lungs
RIGHT VENTRICLE
This chamber pumps blood to the whole body
LEFT VENTRICLE
