Pack 1- the heart Flashcards
what is the heart made of?
cardiac muscle
the right side…
receives deoxygenated blood and pumps to the lungs
the left side…
receives oxygenated blood and pumps to the body.
cardiac cycle definition
one complete sequence of filling and pumping blood
name the phases of the cardiac cycle
diastole
atrial systole
ventricular systole
what happens during atrial systole
blood return to heart under low pressure
passively flow into atria
pressure increase causes atrioventricular valves to open
atria walls contract to push through remaining blood
what happens during ventricular systole
ventricles contract
open semilunar valves
blood moved to aorta or pulmonary artery.
AV valves close to prevent backflow
what happens during diastole
blood drawn back to ventricles closes SL valves
AV valves open sometimes
blood moves from veins to atria passively.
how do you calculate heart rate (BPM)
60/cycle time(sec)
