Part 6: Heart & organization of blood vessels Flashcards
Components of cardiovascular system
1)Pump (The heart)
2) Conducting vessels (Arteries & veins)
3) Sites for exchange with the tissues (Capillaries)
4) Drainage system for excess tissue fluids (Lymphatic vessels)
Functions of cardiovascular system
1)Maintain homeostasis
2) Transport of: Metabolites and wastes, Hormones and signaling molecules, Dissolved gas, immune cells
3) Regulation of body temperature
2 circuits of cardiovascular system
-Pulmonary circuit to the lungs
-Systemic circuit to the rest of the body
The heart has ___ pumps acting in ____ (____)
2 pumps acting in parallel (Right and left sides of heart)
The heart resides in ____ which is a ______ and bounded on the left and right by ____
-mediastinum
-a central region of the thorax within rib cage
-the lungs
mediastinum includes____
heart, the esophagus, trachea, thymus gland, and large blood vessels.
We use a casing on the heart. Are we looking at the heart?
No, we are seeing the pericadium
heart is encased within _____ called____
-a tough fibrous sac
-the pericardium/pericardial sac.
_____fluid lubricates the smooth interface between pericardial sac (parietal pericardium layer) and ____of heart.
Serous
epicardium
label
black: myocardium (muscle)
yellow: endocardium (smooth epithelial layer)
blue: parietal (serous) pericardium (smooth secretory layer)
green: fibrous pericardium (tough- doesn’t expand easily)
purple: epicardium (visceral pericardium)- smooth, single layer that secretes fluid
serous pericardium = __ + ___
epicardium (visceral pericardium)
fibrous pericardium
layers of pericardium
fibrous pericardium
parietal pericardium
(space)
epicardium
label + identify view
left: anterior view
right : posterior view
purple: superior vena cava- takes blood from upper body
orange: right atrium- gets blood from upper body
green: base - where the great vessels connect
yellow: apex - point downward to left
blue: inferior vena cava - take blood from lower body
right atrium is generally _____
thin walled
label
blue: Atrial appendage (auricle)- sticks out like a flap
orange: Right atrium
green: Coronary sinus -> blood returning from heart itself
yellow: Pectinate muscle- region that has strands to muscle -) on atrial appendage (still has endocardium)
label and name this valve? where is this valve
tricuspid value; between right atrium& ventricle
blue: Trabeculae carnae: strands of muscle
yellow: valve cusp/leaflets
green: chordae tendinae- CT that attach to appilary muscle
purple: papillary muscle - don’t close valve for keep it taut
right ventricle vs atrium
ventricle has more muscle
tricuspid value closes when ____
ventricle contracts
function of tricuspid valve
stop blood from flowing back into right atrium when ventricle contracts
label +identify valve and function
pulmonary semilunar value (3 cusps) + stops blood from going back into ventricle from pulmonary valve
blue: pulmonary trunk
green: pulmonary semilunar valve
red: pulmonary sinus (space inside cusps
label pulmonary trunk which is ___ to aorta
anterior
blue: right pulmonary artery
purple: left pulmonary artery
red: pulmonary trunk
Arteries carry blood _____. Veins carry blood______
away from the heart
to the heart
main thing we see in anterior view of heart is ____
right ventricle
