Test 2 Flashcards
Carries blood to and from the body
* blood alternates between pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit
Systemic circuit
Carries blood to and from gas exchange surface of lungs
Pulmonary circuit
Carry blood away from heart
Arteries
Carry blood to heart
Veins
Networks between arteries and veins
- also called exchange vessels
- exchange materials between blood and tissues: dissolved gases, nutrients, waste products
Capillaries
Collects blood from systemic circuit
Right atrium
Pumps blood to pulmonary circuit
Right ventricle
Collects blood from pulmonary circuit
Left atrium
Pumps blood to systemic circuit
Left ventricle
Double lining of the pericardial cavity
Pericardium
Inner layer of pericardium
Visceral pericardium
Outer layer
*forms inner layer of pericardial sac
Parietal pericardium
Is between parietal and visceral layers
*contains pericardial fluid
Pericardial cavity
Fibrous tissue
*surrounds and stabilizes the heart
Pericardial sac
________ ______ divides atria and ventricles
Coronary sulcus
Separate left and right ventricles
*contain blood vessels of cardiac muscle
Anterior interventricular sulcus and posterior interventricular sulcus
Three layers of the heart wall
- Epicardium
- Myocardium
- Endocardium
Interconnect cardiac muscle cells
*propagate action potentials
Intercalated discs
Connect right atrium to right ventricle and left atrium to left ventricle
- are folds of fibrous tissue that extend into openings between atria and ventricles
AV valves
Recieves blood from head, neck, upper limbs, and chest
Superior vena cava
Receives blood from trunk, viscera, and lower limbs
Inferior vena cava
Cardiac veins return blood to coronary sinus
-coronary sinus opens into right atrium
Coronary sinus
The dichroic notch is known as the
Reflection period
Origin of the right common carotid artery
Brachiocephalic artery
Origin of the left common carotid
Aorta
Origin of the right subclavian
Brachiocephalic
Origin of the left subclavian
Arch of the aorta
The heart sits between two pleural cavities in the __________
Mediastinum (areas between the lungs)
______ layer of the heart
- visceral pericardium
- covers heart
Epicardium
Which valve is between the right atrium and right ventricle
Right AV valve, also called tricuspid valve
Which valve is between the left atrium and left ventricle?
Left AV valve- bicuspid/mitral valve
Blood leaves the left ventricle through the _____ _____
Aortic valve (left semilunar)
_____ ____ divides into left and right pulmonary arteries
Pulmonary trunk
Blood flows from right ventricle to ____ _____ through pulmonary valve
Pulmonary trunk
Origin if the right and left coronary arteries
Aortic sinuses (1st branch of the aorta)
How many coronary arteries come off the aorta?
2
Left coronary artery = the _____ interventricular
Anterior interventricular
