1. Parietal layer | 2. Visceral layer
26
What does the parietal layer do?
It fuses to the fibrous pericardium
27
What is another name for the visceral layer?
Epicardium
28
What does the pericardial fluid do?
Reduces friction
29
How does the pericardial reduce friction of the heart?
It secretes fluids into the pericardial cavity
30
What is the layers of the heart wall?
1. Epicardium 2. Myocardium 3. Endocardium
31
What is the external layer of the heart wall?
Epicardium
32
What is the epicardium also call?
Visceral layer of the pericardium
33
What is the epicardium?
It is the smooth, slippery texture to the outermost surface
34
What is the middle layer of the heart?
Myocardium
35
What does the myocardium mainly contain?
95% of cardiac muscle
36
What is the inner layer of the heart?
Endocardium
37
What is the endocardium?
Smooth lining for chambers of the heart, valves and continuous with lining of large blood vessels
38
What does the vessel of the heart do?
Return blood to the heart
39
What are the vessels conveying blood away from the heart?
1. Pulmonary Trunk | 2. Aorta
40
What are the vessels that return blood to the heart?
1. Superior and inferior vena cavae | 2. Pulmonary veins
41
What are teh Pulonary trunk?
The right and left pulmonary arteries
42
How many atria is in our chambers?
2
43
What are the chambers of our heart?
1. Atria | 2. Ventricles
44
What is the atria for?
It is for the receiving chambers
45
What is the ventricles for?
It si for the pumping chambers
46
How many ventricles does the chamber have?
2
47
What happens in the atria?
The auricles increase the capacity
48
What is the grooves of our heart?
Sulci
49
What does the sulci do?
Contain coronary blood vessels
50
Where does the right atrium receives blood from?
1. Superior/inferior vena cavae | 2. Cornoary sinus
51
Where does the left atrium receives blood from?
The pulmonary vein
52
What is the pectinate muscles?
It forms ridges on the interior surface
53
What does interatrial septum have?
Fossa ovalis
54
What is Fossa ovalis?
The remnant of foramen ovale
55
Where does blood pass through on the right side?
The right atrioventricular valve in to the right ventricle
56
What is another name for right atrioventricular valve?
Tricuspid
57
Where does blood pass through on the left side?
The left antrioventricular valve into the left ventricle
58
What is another name for the left antrioventricular valve?
Bicuspid or mitral
59
What are the characteristics of the R&L ventricles?
1. Are the discharging chambers 2. Separated by interventricular septum 3. Contains 2 types of muscle 4. Blood leaves the right ventricle and passes through the pulmonary semilunar valve 5. Blood leaves the left ventricle and passes through the aortic semilunar valve
60
What are the two muscles of the R&L ventricles?
1. Trabeculae carneae | 2. Papillary muscles
61
What is the trabeculae carneae?
It is the ridges formed by rased bundles of cardiac muscle fibers
62
What is the papillary muscle?
It anchors the chordae tendineae of the AV valves
63
When blood leaves the right ventricles, where does it passes?
Through the pulmonary semilunar valve
64
When blood leaves the left ventricles, where does it passes?
Through the aortic semilunar valve
65
What does the right ventricle do?
It pumps blood to the lungs
66
What does the left ventricle do?
It pums blood to the body
67
Why does the left ventricle work harder?
SO that it can maintainthe same rate of blood flow as the right ventricle
68
What is characteristic of the Myocardial thickness?
It has a thin walle datria that deliver blood under less pressure to ventricles.
69
What happens when there is a shorter distances to pump blood?
The shorter distances, produce lower pressure with less resistance
70
What happens when there is a longer distance to pump blood?
The longer distances, produce higher pressure with more resistance
71
Is there any valves at the entrance of the atria?
No
72
What are the artioventricular valves?
They are the tricuspid (Rt) and Bicuspid (Lt)
73
Where does the artioventricular valves?
They lie between the atria & ventricles
74
When does the artioventricular valves open?
When the artria contract
75
What prevents back flow of blood into the artria?
Atrioventricular valves
76
What are the semilunar valves?
1. Polumonary valves | 2. Aortic valves
77
Where is the polumonary valve?
Between the right ventricle & polumonary trunk
78
Where is the aortic valve?
Between the left ventricle & aorta
79
When does the semilunar valve open?
When the ventricles contract
80
What prevents backflow of blood into the ventricles?
Semilunar vlaves
81
What is Valvular Stenosis?
Narrowing of the valve opening
82
What is Mitral valve prolapse?
Valve bulges up into the atrium
83
What is mitral atresia?
No valve opening
84
What is valvular regurgitation?
When blood leaks in the wrong direction because one or more heart valves closes improperly
