The heart 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Pericardium Serous membranes of the heart
A
- Parietal pericardium
- Parietal cavity
- Visceral pericardium
2
Q
Parietal pericardium
A
- Superficial (close to body cavity)
- Pericardial sac
- Tough fibrous CT
3
Q
Pericardial cavity
A
- Space between parietal and visceral mem
- Pericardial fluid (reduces friction & creates a vacum)
4
Q
Visceral pericardium
A
- Deeper (touches the organs)
- Epicardium
- Simple squamous epithelium overlying areolar CT
5
Q
Cardiac muscle
A
- short branched cells
- 1 nucleus/cell
- striations
- involuntary
6
Q
Cardia muscle
A
- Intercalated disc
- Glycogen
- Myoglobin
- Lots of Myochondria
7
Q
Intercalated discs
A
Cardiac muscle
- gap junctions
- Allow rapid electrical transmissions
- Desmosomes
- Prevent cells from separating
8
Q
Glycogen
A
- Cardiac muscle
- Converted to glucose/ catabolized
9
Q
Myoglobin
A
- Cardiac muscle
- Stores oxygen
10
Q
The Heart Valves
A
- Atrioventricular (AV) valves
- Aortic valve
- Semilunar valves
- Pulmonary valve
11
Q
Atrioventricular Valves
A
- Right AV (tricuspid)
- Left AV (bicuspid or mitral)
- Regulate the opening between atria and ventricles
12
Q
Semilunar valves
A
- Pulmonary and aortic valves
- Regulate the blood flow form the ventricles into the opening of the great arteries.
13
Q
Pulmonary valve
A
-Controls the opening from the right ventricle in to the pulmonary trunk
14
Q
Aortic valve
A
-Controls the opening from the left ventricle in to the aorta
15
Q
Muscle twitch
A
-single contraction of skeletal muscle. T 3 phases -latent -contraction -relaxation.
