What makes up the caridovascular system?
Heart + all blood vessels
What is the order blood gets pumped through in the body? (vessel level)
Heart –> arteries –> arterioles –> capillaries –> venules –> veins
What does the pulmonary circuit do?
Transports oxygen-poor blood from the heart –> lungs –> heart
What is the systemic circuit?
Carries blood from heart to rest of the body
Mediastinum?
Area between the lungs
Where are the atria?
The upper chambers of the heart
Where are the ventricles?
Lower chambers of the heart and muscular pumps
Fibrous pericardium?
Outer, fibrous, supportive, protective layer that surrounds the heart
Pericardium?
Serous made up of 2 layers
-Parietal layer is deep to the fibrous pericardium
-Visceral layer is the inner layer of the serous membrane
What are the three layers of the heart?
Epicardium-outer layer/visceral pericardium
Myocardium-middle layer/cardiac muscle
Endocardium-inner layer
How does blood get pumped through the heart, lungs, and body?
Systemic circuit –> superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, coronary sinus –> right atrium –> tricuspid valve –> right ventricle –> pulmonary valve –> pulmonary trunk –> pulmonary arteries–> alveolar capillaries –> pulmonary veins –> left atrium –> mitral/bicuspid valve –> left ventricle –> aortic valve –> aorta –> systemic circuit
Coronary arteries?
Supply blood to tissues of the heart
What is the cardiac cycle?
The sequence of events that occurs during a single heartbeat
Systole?
Contraction
Diastole?
relaxation (expansion)
What occurs in atrial systole and ventricular diastole?
Ventricles relaxed –> valve opens –>70% of blood flows in while last 30% is pushed in via atrial systole
What does the heart sounds sound like?
