Exam 4: FINAL (Heart and Taste) Flashcards
(157 cards)
What side of the heart receives dO2 blood
right
What side of the heart receives O2 blood
left
What chambers pump together
The atria together and the ventricles together
What chamber receives blood returning from systemic circuit
Right Atrium
What chamber receives blood returning from pulmonary circuit
Left Atrium
What chamber pumps blood through systemic circuit
Left Ventricle
What chamber pumps blood through pulmonary circuit
Right Ventricle
What valve types are between atria and ventricles
Atrioventricular Valves
What valve types are between ventricles and major arteries
semilunar valves
What is the relaxed state of the heart called
systole
What is the shortest circulation in the body
coronary circulation
When is coronary circulation delived
when the heart is relaxed
What is your BP when the heart is contracting
inhibited
What is angina pectoris
- thoracic pain caused from scute deficiency in blood delivery to myocardium
- Cells are weakened
What is myocardial infarction
- Heart attack
- Prolonged coronary bloackage
- Areas of cell death are repaired with noncontractile scar tissue
What do gap junctions allow for?
Allows for ions to pass from cell to cell, electrically couple adjacent cells
What is a function syncytium, and is the heart it?
Yes it is, it allows the organ to act as one unit
What is an ectopic pacemaker?
- 5 are within each ventricle
-kick in to create tetanic twitches
What is the sequence of excitation
- SA node
- AV node
- Atrioventricular bundle
- R/L bundle branches
- Subendocardial conducting network (PFs)
What is the Sinoatrial node
- Pacemaker of heart in right atrial wall
- Depolarizes faster then the rest of the myocardium
- Generates impulses
What is the Atrioventricular node
- Delays impulses
- Fibers are smaller in diameter, have fewer gap junctions
- Allows for atrial contraction prior to ventricular contraction
What is the bundle of His
Only electrical connection between atria and ventricles
Where is the bundle of His located?
in the superior interventricular septum
What are the left and right bundle branches?
- Carry impulses toward the apex of the heart
- 2 pathways in interventricular septum
- Speeds up
