Transport and Gas Exchange 2 Flashcards
Oxygenated
Blood with oxygen, pumped around the body, gets oxygen from the lungs in exchange for CO2, left side of the heart
Deoxygenated
Blood without oxygen, after blood goes around the body it comes back to the heart without oxygen, pumps through the right side of the heart to the lungs to become oxygenated
Right Atrium
Receives deox blood from the vena cava and pumps it through the right AV valve (tricuspid) into the right ventricle
Right Ventricle
Receives deox blood from the right atrium and pumps it through the right semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries
Pulmonary Arteries
Receives deox blood from the right ventricle and pumps it to the lungs to exchange CO2 for O2
Lungs (TRANSPORT)
Receives deox blood from the pulmonary arteries and oxygenates it then delivers it to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins
Left Atrium
Receives ox blood from the pulmonary veins and pumps it through the left av valve (bicuspid) into the left ventricle
Left Ventricle
Receives ox blood from the left atrium and pumps it through the left semilunar value into the aorta
Aorta
Receives ox blood from the left ventricle and pumps it around the body
Systemic Circulation
Circulation of oxygenated blood
Pulmonary Circulation
Circulation of deoxygenated blood
Coronary Arteries
branch off the aorta and directly supply the heart muscle with oxygen and glucose
Myogenic
signal for cardiac contraction arises in the heart itself, it can contract and relax on it’s own
SA Node
The pacemaker of the heart, in the right atrium of the heart. Starts heartbeat by generating an impulse which travels through the walls of the atria stimulating it to contract (top to bottom)
AV Node
Impulse from SA Node reaches the junction in between the ventricles and atria stimulating the AV node to contract after it waits 0.1 seconds
AV NODE 2
After waiting for 0.1 seconds the ndoe send a signal to through the walls of the ventricles causing them to contract from bottom to top which then pushes blood up and out to the arteries
Medulla Oblongata
Controls the activation of heartbeats
If CO2 is too high the medulla sends a signal through the cranial nerve causing the SA Node to fire more frequently
If CO2 is normal it send a signal through the vagus nerve that causes the SA Node to fire less frequently
