chapter 2 Flashcards
(18 cards)
layers of the heart
epicardium, endocardium, myocardium
epicardium
outer membrane layer of hear
myocardium
muscular wall of the heart, bw epi and endo
endocardium
membrane lining the inside surface of heart
heart chambers
r and l atrium, r and l ventricles
cardiac cycle
diastole (contraction of atria “dub”), systole (contraction of ventricles “lub”)
diastole
ventricles relax and atria contract (sa node), semilunar valves close (dub) atrioventricular valve opens
systole
ventricles contract (av node) semilunar valves open, av valve closes (lub)
p wave
reps atrial depolarization
qrs complex
reps ventricular depolarization
t wave
reps ventricular repolarization
arteries
carry blood away from heart to body
veins
carry blood from body back to heart (have valves)
capillaries
one-cell-thick bw arteries and veins that distribute oxygen rich blood to body
tunica intima
composed of a simple squamous epithilium called endothelium, rest on connective tissue membrane rich in elastic and collagenous fibers
tunica media
makes up bulk of arterial wall
major veins
superior and inferior vena cava
