Chapter 7 Flashcards

Right side of heart
Accepts deox. blood and moves it to the lungs
Atria
Receives deox. blood from vena cavae or ox. blood from pulmonary veins
What happens when the atria contracts
it pushes blood to the ventricles
Role of ventricles
contract and push blood to lungs (right) and body (left)
Is more muscular than atria
Valves role
Allows pressure within ventricles to push blood forward and prevent backflow
location of tricuspid valve
between right atria and right ventricle
Location of mitral valve
between left atrium and ventricle
pulmonary valve location
between right ventricle and circulation (pulmonary arteries)
aortic valve
between left ventricle and aorta
How does the left heart differ
more muscular and carries blood to body
How do electric impulses work in the heart?
They aid rhythmic contraction
Passes from SA node to AV to AV bundle and then to perjunke fibers
SA node
impulse initiation in the right atrium
starts from depolarization, then atria contraction, then atrial kick (gets a little more blood to ventricles)
AV node
Between atria and ventricles. Delays signals so that ventricles can fill before contractions
bundle of his
branches
perjunke fibers
distribute signal through ventricular muscle
intercalated discs
connect muscle cells
Allows gap junctions to coordinate
myogenic
contracts without neural input
systole
ventricles contract and close AV valves
blood is pumped out of ventricles, high pressure
diastole
ventricles relax, lunar close and blood from the atria fills ventricles, low pressure
aided by elastic heart
cardiac output
blood volume pumped by the ventricle per minute
CO= HR x SV
arteries
pumps ox. blood away from the heart,
is elastic and muscular, resists flow
What connects to arteries
arterioles, capillaries, then tissue
Where does blood move after capillaries
venuoles, veins, superior/inferior VC, then to right heart
How do arteries differ from veins?
they have more smooth muscle
