The Blood, Heart, Blood Vessels & Circulation Flashcards
The right atrium receives blood from?
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava
Thickest chamber of the heart?
Left ventricle
Left atrium receives blood from?
Lungs (pulmonary veins)
Tricuscpid (right AV valve) is connected to
chordae tendinae (connected to papillary muscles)
Trabeculae Carneae
ridges formed by raised bundles of cardiac muscle fiber
Anterior surface of the heart that increases its filling capacity
Auricles
aortic (semilunar valve) goes to
ascending aorta (system)
Rt. ventricle pumps blood to
Lungs
Lt. ventricle pumps blood to
rest of the body
- works harder to maintain = blood flow as rt. ventricle
- thickest chamber of the heart
- increased distance, pressure, resistance
stenosis
narrowing of the heart (decreased blood flow)
systemic circuit
- LEFT SIDE OF THE HEART
- RECEIVE BLOOD FROM LUNGS
- EJECT BLOOD INTO THE AORTA
- SYSTEMIC ARTERIES/ARTERIOLES
- GAS/NUTRIENT EXCHANGE IN SYSTEMIC CAPILLARIES
- SYSTEMIC VENULES AND VEINS BACK TO THE RIGHT ATRIUM
PULMONARY CIRCUIT
- RIGHT SIDE OF THE HEART
- REJECTS BLOOD FROM SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION
- EJECTS BLOOD INTO PULMONARY TRUNK THEN PULMONARY ARTERIES (LUNGS)
- GAS/NUTRIENT EXHANGE IN PULMONARY CAPILLARIES
- PULMONARY VEINS BACK TO LEFT ATRIUM
coronary arteries branch from?
ascending aorta
coronary veins collect in?
coronary sinus
Lubb
(AV valves closed)
