Pulmonary Circulation
71
Inner layer, lines heart chambers, smooth/thin layer that reduces friction as the blood passes through heart chambers
Endocardium
72
Middle layer, thick muscle, contraction of this layer develops the pressure required to pump blood through blood vessels
Myocardium
73
Outer layer, forms the visceral layer of pericardial sac, fluid between layers of this sac reduces friction as heart beats
Pericardium
74
Large, thick-walled vessels that can contract or relax and they carry blood away from the heart
Arteries
75
Network of tiny, thin-walled blood vessels that connects arteries/veins and diffuses
Capillaries
76
Thin-walled, valvular vessels with low pressure, veins carry blood toward the heart, pulmonary veins carry blood from the lungs
Veins
77
What is the name of the upper chambers in the heart?
Atria
78
What are the names of the 2 lower chambers in the heart?
Ventricles and Septum(divides L/R)
79
The recieving chambers of the heart, blood enters atria through veins, deoxygenated blood from body enters the right atria vena cava
Atria
80
The pumping chambers of the heart, blood exits the ventricles through arteries, deoxygentated blood exits the right ventricle and moves the the lungs via pulmonary artery
Ventricles
81
T or F: Heart valves force blood to flow forward
True!
82
Controls the opening between the right atrium and right ventricle, reffered to as an atrioventricular valve, has 3 leaves(cusps)
Tricuspid Valve
83
Controls opening between right ventricle and pulmonary artery, prevents backflow of blood into right ventricle
Pulmonary Valve
84
Controls the opening between the left atrium/left ventricle, it's an atrioventricular valve, prevents backflow of blood into left atrium, has cusps
Bicupsid Valve
85
Controls opening between left ventricle and aorta, prevents backflow of blood into the left ventricle, a semilunar valve
Aortic Valve
86
The relaxtion phase of heart chambers is called?
Diastole
87
The contraction phase of heart chambers is called?
Systole
88
During systole, blood is under a lot of pressure and gives the highest or lowest reading?
Highest reading
89
During diastole, blood is under little pressure and gives the highest or lowest reading?
Lowest reading
90

109
