the heart Flashcards
instrument to make incisions in heart experiment
•scalpel
difference between walls of the right and left ventricles in the heart
•walls of the left ventricle were thicker than the ones of the right
vein carrying blood richest in oxygen
•pulmonary vein
vein carrying blood between intestine and liver
•hepatic portal vein
vein carrying blood lowest in metabolic wastes
•renal vein
vein carrying blood into right atrium of heart
•vena cava
how did you know the left from the right side of heart prior to dissection
•left side was thicker
sa node function
•send impulse to the atria and causes it to contract
av node function
•send impulse to ventricles and causes them to contract
heart cycle
•heart is relaxed, blood flows into atria
•atria contract and force blood through the valves into the ventricles
•ventricles contract and push blood through the aorta and pulmonary vein
period of heart cycle when cardiac muscle of the heart is contracting
•systole
period of heart cycle when cardiac muscle of the heart is not contracting
•diastole
how know ventricles are contracting in diagram
•ventricle volumes are reduced
•semilunar valves are open
•blood flowing into arteries
location of sa
•wall of right atrium
what circuit does the right ventricle pump blood to
•pulmonary circuit
what circuit did the left ventricle pump blood to
•systemic circuit
