Q

Left Ventricle

A

pumps O blood to body

22
Q

Superior Vena Cava

A

drains head and shoulders

23
Q

Inferior Vena Cava

A

delivers blood to bottom half

24
Q

Semi Lunar valves aka

A

Pulmonary and Aortic valve

25
Q

Right AV Valve (atrium to ventricle) aka

A

Tri-Cuspid valve

TRI to do right, but if you go to the left you have gone BI-BI

26
Q

Left AV Valve (atrium to ventricle) aka

A

Bi-Cuspid valve (Mitral Valve)

TRI to do right, but if you go to the left you have gone BI-BI

27
Q

Artery takes blood where?

A

Away from heart (oxygenated, red)

28
Q

Vein takes blood where?

A

Towards heart (de-oxygenated, blue)

29
Q

Valves btwn Atria/Ventricle

A
  • Tricuspid (Right AV)

- Bicuspid (Mitral)(Left AV)

30
Q

Exit valves

A
  • Aortic

- Pulmonary (pulmonic) (only vein to carry Oxygenated blood)

31
Q

Only valve to carry Oxygenated blood

A

Pulmonary Valve - to lung

32
Q

5L blood circulate every X min

33
Q

Coronary Arteries

A

Blood supply to myocardium

34
Q

Systole (.8s)

35
Q

Diastole (.2s)

36
Q

Cardiac Output

A

volume of blood pumped per minute

CO = SV x HR

37
Q

Ecocardiogram

A

only way to get value for stroke volume

38
Q

Stroke Volume

A

amount of blood pushed out per beat

39
Q

Heart rate

A

heartbeats per minute

40
Q

CO =

A

SV x HR

ml/min

41
Q

SA Node

A

Sinoatrial node (heart’s pacemaker)

  • irritable tissue (reacts to most stimulants)
  • 80-100bpm
42
Q

AV Node

A

Atrioventricular Node (btwn atria and Ventricle)

43
Q

Hearts Conduction System

A
  • SA Node
  • AV Node
  • AV Bundle of HIS
  • Purkinje fibers (web of muscle to send electrical waves)
43
Q

Sinoatrial Node bpm

A

80-100 bpm

44
Q

Av node bpm

45
Q

NSR

A

Normal Sinus Rythm

heart rate in normal range 60-100 beats per minute w steady rate, aside from variations due to respiration.

46
Q

What other than the sA node can set pace of heartbeat?

A

1) autonomic nervous system

2) endocrine system

47
Q

Autonomic Nervous System

A
  • sympathetic NS speeds up heart

- parasympathetic slows it down (cranial nerve x, Vegas nerve

48
Q

Tetralogy of Fallot

A

4 defects that happen together

49
Q

Methods of Studying Heart

A
  • stethoscope
  • electrocardiograph
  • catheterization
  • echocardiography
