The Heart Flashcards
Where is the heart located
In the mediastanum of thoracic cavity
Surrounds the heart
Pericardium
Is posterior Site where great vessels attach to the heart
Base
Inferior tip of the heart
Apex
Superior chambers
Atria
Receives deoxygenated blood from systemic circuit
Right atrium
Receives oxygenated blood from pulmonary circuit
Left atrium
Inferior chambers
Ventricles
Ejects deoxygenated blood to pulmonary trunk
Right ventricle
Divides into pulmonary arteries and sends blood to lungs
Pulmonary trunk
Ejects oxygenated blood into aorta
Left ventricle
Number the process of circulation through the heart (1-5)
Deoxygenated blood is received by right atrium
1
Where does the deoxygenated blood that is received by the right atrium come from
Superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, coronary sinus
Number the process of circulation through the heart (1-5)
Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs to left atrium
4
Number the process of circulation through the heart (1-5)
Blood enter right ventricle and is ejected into pulmonary trunk
2
Number the process of circulation through the heart (1-5)
Oxygenated blood enters left ventricle and is ejected into aorta and systemic arteries
5
Number the process of circulation through the heart (1-5)
Pulmonary trunk divides to form pulmonary arteries that deliver blood to lungs
3
Monitors electrical signals as they as they move through the body and cardiac muscle
Electrocardiogram
