Cardiovascular System Flashcards
(224 cards)
Is cardiac muscle striated or not/ voluntary/non voluntary
striated not voluntary
what is the cardiac muscle connected by
intercalated discs
Epicardium
superficial layer
Myocardium
contration unit has cardiac muscle
Endocardium
form lining of the heart chambers
Two layers of pericardium
parietal, visceral layer
what are the two parts of pericardium separated by
pericardial cavity
functions of pericardium
protects, anchors the heart, prevents overfilling of the heart with blood, friction-free environment
4 chambers of heart
2 atria, 2 ventricles
where are the valves located
b/w ventricles and blood vessels
two types of valves
atrioventricular valves semilunar valves
where does the atrioventricular valve lie
between atrioventricular and ventricles
Right AV valve
tricuspid valve
left AV valve
bicuspid mitral valve
What anchors Av valves to papillary muscles of ventricle wall
Chordae tendinae
Aortic Valve is where
between left ventricle and aorta
pulmonary valve
right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
do semilunar valves have chordate teninae
no
heart murmurs
extra or unusual sound during heart beat
innocent heart murmurs
not caused by heart problem. kids, thin people, elderly
abormal murmur
in newborns; congenital heart defects, insufficient/incompetent: valve fails to close, stenotic: valve fails to open
coronary circulation
blood supply to the heart muscle itself
what ensures blood delivery even if major vessels are occulated
collateral routes
which artery has cost common coronary artery occlusion or heart attack
