Test 2: lecture heart Flashcards
two modes of transport of blood in the body
diffusion
passive, over short distances
bulk flow
active, rapid flow over long distances
components of the CV system
heart
vasculature
blood
lymphatics
associated organs: spleen, kidney, bone marrow, liver
pulmonary circuit
right side of heart to the lungs to the left side of the heart
blood flows “in series” (A-B-C-D)
systemic circuit of blood flow
blood flow everywhere other then lungs
blood flows in “parallel” (go through different capillary beds in the body)
venous side =volume reservoir
arterial side = pressure reservoir
why have blood flow in parallel in the systemic circuit
freshest blood to each organ- blood will divide evenly from the right side of heart to different organs.
Not all blood goes to every organ, splits up the task to ensure oxygen gets everywhere
heart slants to the ___ side
left
functions of pericardium
protect against friction
anchor the heart
act as a barrier against the spread of disease
layers of the pericardium
visceral pericardium
pericardiac cavity
parietal pericardium
fibrous tissue layer of the parietal pericardium
all of this is surrounded by the
mediastinal parietal pleura
visceral pleura
the lung pleura
visceral pleura
parietal pleura (costal, diaphragmatic, mediastinal)
the two mediastinal parietal pleura of the left and right side make a space in which the heart lives called the ___
mediastinum
what is the ligament that holds the pericardium to the sternum?
sternopericardial ligament
a fish has a ___ chambered heart
2
amphibians have a ___ chambered heart
3
___ have a smaller heart in proportion to body size
pigs
blood flow through the heart
vana cave→ right atrium through the right AV valve→ right ventricle (pulmonary valve) → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium (Left AV valve) → left ventricle → aortic valve → body
what are some factors that are important for blood flow through the heart
unidirectional
decrease turbulance
AV valve are tethered by ___ to ___
chordae tendinaea
papillary muscles
chordae tendineae are found in what type of valves and why?
prevent valve from flapping open
AV valve (tricuspid right side and bicuspid or mitral on the left side)
the right AV valve is called the ___
tricuspid valve
