Q

what is an antigen?

A

2.9 gallons

18
Q

where is the heart located?

A

near the anterior chest wall and directly posterior to the sternum in the pericardial cavity

19
Q

what are the two layers of the pericardium?

A

visceral pericardium and parietal pericardium

20
Q

What are the three layers of the heart wall? (starting from superficial to deep)
What layer is thickest?

A
  1. epicardium
  2. myocardium (thickest)
  3. endocardium
21
Q

What junctions connect muscle tissue and facilitate the synchronous contraction of the heart?

A

intercalated discs

22
Q

what are desmosomes

A

connects the plasma membrane of two cardiac muscle cells

23
Q

what is the end of an actin filament called?

A

fascia adherence

24
Q

where is the heart located?

A

behind the sternum and slightly to the left. held in the pericardium

25
Q

what is the pointy part at the bottom of the heart called?

A

the apex

26
Q

what are the 3 sulci of the heart?

A

intertribal groove
coronary sulcus
anterior/posterior interventricular suclus

27
Q

what are the two main blood vessels on the heart?

A

right coronary artery
and left coronary artery

28
Q

what are the main branches of the right coronary artery?

A

atrial branches
right marginal branch
posterior interventricular branch
conducting system branches

29
Q

30
Q

what are the 4 main cardiac veins?

A

great cardiac veins
middle cardiac vein
small cardiac vein
posterior vein of the left ventricle
anterior cardiac veins

31
Q

what 2 structures facilitate the opening and closing of the valves in the heart and prevent backflow of blood?

A

chordae tendineae
papillary muscle

32
Q

which ventricle is more powerful and by how much?

A

left ventricle is 6-7x more

33
Q

why is this ventricle more powerful?

A

because it is responsible for pumping the

34
Q

what are the steps of the cardiac cycle

A
  1. atrial systole begins
  2. atrial diastole begins
  3. ventricular systole 1st phase
  4. ventricular systole 2nd phase
  5. ventricular diastole
35
Q

what are the layers of blood vessels

A

tunica adventitia (connective tissue)
tunica media (smooth muscle and elastic tissue)
tunica intima (endothelium)

36
Q

what are two types of capillaries

A

continuous capillary
fenestrated capillary

37
Q

what is the role of valves in the venous system?

A

prevent back-flow of blood
and maintaining the proper direction of blood
