2 A&P II Lab Exercise 3 Flashcards
What does the atrium receive?
Blood from veins draining the entire body
What does the left atrium receive?
Blood from veins draining from the lungs
Where does the right ventricle pump to?
Lungs
Where does the left ventricle pump to?
All parts of the body
What does the arrangement of the cells in cardiac tissue allow the heart to do?
Beat in synchrony
What are the five types of blood vessels?
Arteries arterioles capillaries venules veins
How can you tell arteries from veins in a cross section?
Arteries are round and thick. Veins are thin and collapsed
What is the pericardium?
Double walled membrane surrounding the heart
What is the fibrous pericardium?
Tough, dense connective tissue; anchors and protects the heart
What is the serous pericardium?
Two layered, thin serous membrane
What are the layers of the serous pericardium?
Parietal and visceral
What is the parietal layer?
Lines the fibrous epicardium
What is the visceral layer?
Covers the outer surface of the heart
What is the pericardial cavity?
Fluid filled space between the parietal and visceral layers
What are the layers of the pericardium?
Fibrous and serous
What is the epicardium?
The outer layer, the visceral layer of the serous pericardium; thin squamous epithelium and connective tissue
What is the myocardium?
The middle layer of the heart; bulk is cardiac muscle tissue arranged in spirals or circular bundles; connective tissue fibers connect muscle fibers
What is the endocardium?
The inner layer; a layer of simple squamous epithelium (endothelium) lying on a thin layer of connective tissue
Where does the right atrium receive blood through?
SVC, IVC, coronary sinus
Does the right atrium receive oxygenated or deoxygenated blood?
Deoxygenated blood
Where are auricles found?
Externally on the atrial wall
Where are pectinate muscles found?
They form ridges in the atrial wall
What do the auricles do?
Increase the surface area
What separates the atria?
Interatrial septum
Does the left atrium receive oxygenated or deoxygenated blood?
Oxygenated
Where does the left atrium receive blood through?
Four pulmonary veins
What chamber comprises the majority of the anterior part of the heart?
Right ventricle
Where are trabeculae carnae located?
Muscular ridges in the ventricular walls
Where does the right ventricle pump to?
Pulmonary trunk
Where does the left ventricle pump to?
Aorta
What does the superior vena cava do?
Brings deoxygenated blood to the right atrium from regions above the diaphragm
What does the inferior vena cava do?
Brings deoxygenated blood tot he right atrium from areas below the diaphragm
What does the coronary sinus do?
Collects blood from the heart muscle and enters the right atrium
What does the pulmonary trunk do?
Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle towards the lungs
What does the pulmonary trunk divide into?
Right pulmonary artery and left pulmonary artery
Where do the right and left pulmonary artery travel to?
The right and left lungs, respectively
What does the aorta do?
The largest blood vessel of the body carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body
Where does the aorta ascend out of?
The left ventricle, then it arches and descends
What does the aorta branch into?
Brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery
What do the left and right coronary arteries do?
Their branches supply other arteries, arterioles, and the capillary bed of the heart muscle itself
Where do the left and right coronary arteries arise from?
Base of the aorta
What do the cardiac veins do?
Bring blood from the capillary bed of the myocardium to the coronary sinus and from there to the right atrium
Where is the tricuspid valve?
The atrioventricular valve between the right atrium and ventricle
How do the papillary muscles and chordae tendineae control the valves?
Contraction of the papillary muscles puts tension on the chordae tendineae keeping the cusps from inverting into the atrium
Where is the bicuspid valve?
The atrioventricular valve between the left atrium and ventricle
What is another name for the mitral valve?
Bicuspid
Where is the pulmonary valve?
The base of the pulmonary trunk
Where is the aortic valve?
The base of the aorta
