Assessment of cardiovascular system Flashcards
function of cardiovascular system
generation of blood pressure
2 types of routing blood
pulmonic and systematic
circulation of pulmonic
heart to lungs for oxygenation
circulation of systematic
oxygenated blood for lungs to the body; deoxygenated blood from the body to heart for reoxygenation
ensure one way blood flow
heart valves
regulate the blood supply
sphincters in the blood vessels
where is the heart enclosed
thoracic cavity/ inverted hole
is the point of maximal impulse
apical pulse
where to auscultate when you are asked to take the apical pulse
5th intercostal space
2 types of pericardium
fibrous
serous
pericardium that adheres to the chest wall
fibrous
pericardium that includes parietal and visceral
serous
pericardium that covers the heart
visceral
responsible for the lubrication of the heart
pericardial cavity with pericardial fluid
4 chambers of the heart
right atrium
left atrium
right ventricle
left ventricle
reservoirs of blood or collecting chambers receives blood from either the vena cava or pulmonary veins
atria
major blood pumping chambers which pump blood to the aorta or pulmonary arteries
ventricles
major pumping chamber
left ventricle because of the EXERT OF THE HIGH PRESSURE IN AORTA, and also thicker MYOCARDIUM
oxygenated blood; left or right chamber
left
deoxygenated blood; left or right chamber
right
muscle layer of the heart
myocardium
part between left and right atria and ventricles
septum
is septum open when we are in our mothers womb
yes
is lungs functioning when we are our mothers womb
no
