principal función of cardiovascular system
providing adequate perfusion
what’s perfusion?
delivery of blood per time per gram of tissue mL/min/g
the right ventricle send blood to the lungs via
pulmonary trunk
what are the only arteries that carry deoxygenates blood?
pulmonary arteries
largest artery
aorta
left ventricle send blood to the entire body via
the aorta
large veins
superior and inferior vena cava
vena cava from______ to _____
body, right atrium
only veins that carry oxygenated blood
pulmonary veins
pulmonary semilunar valve is between
right atrium and pulmonary trunk
aortic semilunar valve is between
left atrium and aorta
pattern of blood circulation
right atria ~ right ventricle ~ pulmonary trunk ~ lungs ~ eft atria ~ left ventricle ~ aorta ~ systemic circulation ~ SVC ~ right atria
the heart is posterior to the
sternum
the heart is in the _____ cavity
mediastinum
the apex of the heart points down into the _____
left
mention the 3 layers of the pericardium
fibrous pericardium
parietal layer of the serous pericardium
visceral layer of the serous pericardium
two serous layers separate by
pericardial cavity
type of tissue of fibrous parietal layer
dense irregular connective tissue
type of tissue of the two serous pericardium layers
simple squamous epithelium and areolar connective tissue
what does the pericardial cavity contain?
serous fluid
why is the left side of the heart thicker?
it works harder because sends blood to all the body
what happens with the capillaries in pericarditis?
increases capillary permeability which causes fluid accumulation in pericardial cavity which restricts chamber’s movement
pericarditis results in_____
cardiac tamponade
what’s visible in the anterior view?
right atrium
right ventricle
right auricle (most)
pulmonary trunk
ascending aorta
aortic arch
descending aorta
portions of: left auricle and ventricle
