Q

transports the oxygenated blood from the heart and lungs all throughout the body thru the arteries, and then the oxygen depleted blood is returned to its origin thru the help of the veins.

34
Q

partition that separates the right from the left atria

A

Interatrial septum

35
Q

separates the right and the left ventricles

A

Interventricular septum

36
Q

receives blood supply thru the left and right coronary arteries, and coronary veins return the oxygen depleted
blood from the heart muscle back to the heart.

A

Coronary Circulation

37
Q

Heart function

A
  • the Coronary circulation supplies the blood and also provides drainage from the tissues
  • composed of the left and right coronary arteries and coronary veins
38
Q

6 functions of the heart

A
  1. cardiac cycle
  2. Electrical Conduction System
  3. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  4. Origin of heart sound
  5. Heart rate and Cardiac Output
  6. Pulse
  7. Blood Pressure
39
Q

Systole (contraction) & diastole (relaxation) which lasts about 0.8
seconds

A

Cardiac Cycle

40
Q

Sends electric impulses throughout the myocardium which is
initiated by the Sinoatrial (SA) node (pacemaker)

A

Electrical Conduction System

41
Q

Provides the graphical representation of the cardiac cycle’s activity

A

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

42
Q

The average heart rate is

A

72 beats per minute (bpm)

43
Q

refers to the volume of blood pumped per minute

A

Cardiac output

44
Q

which is the first sound as the ventricles contract or the AV valves close

A

“lubb”

45
Q

the second sound which is heard when the semilunar valves close and the ventricles relax.

A

“dupp”

46
Q

A rhythmic throbbing resulting from the alternating expansion and contraction of the artery

A

pulse

47
Q

The force which was exerted by the blood on the walls of the vessel

A

blood pressure

48
Q

Blood pressure is measured by

A

sphygmomanometer

49
Q

it is the difference between the systolic (pressure during contraction) and diastolic (pressure during relaxation).

A

Blood pressure

50
Q

normal contraction of the heart in ECG

A

Sinus Rhythm

Q

Amount of Cardiac output

A

A

120 over 80

54
Q

the loop which consists of a system of blood vessels through which blood is circulated to the rest of the body

Q

very small veins that collect blood from the capillaries

A

venules

62
Q

three layers of blood vessels

A
  1. tunica adventitia
  2. tunica media
  3. tunica intima

tunica intima

66
Q

space inside the blood vessel where the blood flows

A

lumen

67
Q

found in the veins, these are thin membranous leaflets that prevent the backflow of blood

A

valves

68
Q

the red fluid that is transported throughout the body through the circulatory system

A

blood

69
Q

two function of blood

A
  1. Arterial blood
  2. Venous blood
70
Q

blood is composed of

A

plasma and other formed elements

71

a clear, straw-colored liquid portion of the blood which is 90% water

A

plasma

72
Q

three components of blood

A
  1. Erythrocytes (red blood cells)
  2. Leukocytes (white blood cells)
