Unit 9 & 10 Flashcards
Relating to blood vessels
Angi/angio
Vas/vaso/vascular
Color for blood low in O2
Blue
Color for blood high in O2
Red
Are arteries red or blue
Red, high O2
Are veins red or blue
Blue, low O2
Location of heart
Within mediastinum
Caudal part of heart
Apex
Cranial part of heart
Base
Fibrous sac that holds heart
Pericardium
Outermost layer of pericardium, tough & fibrous, slightly loose to allow heart to move
Fibrous pericardium
Innermost part of pericardium, composed of two layers
Serous pericardium
Outer layer of serous pericardium, smooth & moist
Parietal layer
Inner layer of serous pericardium, adhered directly to cardiac muscle
Visceral layer (epicardium)
Purpose of pericardial fluid
Lubrication, prevents friction
What separates atria from ventricles, anchors heart valves, & provides attachment for myocardium
Connective tissue rings
Outmost layer of heart walls (visceral serous pericardium)
Epicardium
Muscle layer of heart wall (cardiac muscle)
Myocardium
Membrane lining inside of heart walls, simple squamous epithelium
Endocardium
Receive blood
Atria
Pump blood out of heart
Ventricles
Right ventricle pumps blood to
Lungs via pulmonary artery
Left ventricle pumps blood to
Body via aorta
LAMB
Left atrioventricular mitral bicuspid
RAT
Right atrioventricular tricuspid
Flaps that make up valves
Cusps
Threadlike cords that attach free end of valve to muscle wall of ventricle
Chordae Tendinae
Pulmonary valve located where
Between RV & pulmonary artery
Aortic valve located where
Between LV & aorta
Large vein entering RA, transports low O2 blood to right side of heart
Cranial & caudal vena cava
Transports blood from RV to lungs
Pulmonary artery
Carry blood from lungs to RA
Pulmonary veins
Transports blood from LV to rest of body
Aorta
Flow of blood through heart
Vena cava, RV, RAT valve, RV, pulmonary valve, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, LA, LAMB valve, LV, aortic valve, aorta, rest of body, vena cava..
Each complete beat (contraction/relaxation) of heart constitutes what
Cardiac cycle
Contraction of heart called
Systole
Relaxation of heart called
Diastole
