Q

what happens after deoxygenated blood goes from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs

A

it is oxygenated and returns the oxygenated blood to the left atrium

16
Q

what type of blood does the systemic loop return and where does it return it to

A

deoxygenated blood to the right atrium

17
Q

how many cycles of contractions does the heart undergoes

18
Q

what are the 2 contractions of the heart

A

systole and diastole

19
Q

what does systole contraction indicate

A

contraction of heart muscles

20
Q

what does diastole contraction indicate

A

relaxation of heart muscles

21
Q

in the heart cycle what does ventricular systole mean

A

ventricles contract

22
Q

in the heart cycle what does ventricular systole cause

A

atrioventricular valves — mitral and tricuspid valves to close

23
Q

what sound occurs when the atrioventricular valves close

A

makes a “lub” sound

24
Q

how are empty ventricles filled

A

blood pushed out during atrial systole

25
at the same time, what also happens when the atrioventricular valves close
semilunar valves in the aorta and pulmonary trunk close
26
what does the closing of the semilunar valves prevent
prevents blood from falling back into the ventricles
27
what sound occurs when the semilunar valves close
"dub sound"
28
what sound does the closing of both the atrioventricular and semilunar valves complete
lub/dub sound of the heart
29
what is the contraction of the closing of the atrioventricular and semilunar valves controlled by
pacemaker
30
what is the pacemaker called
sinoatrial node
31
what does the pacemaker "sinoatrial node" do
sends out electrical signals
32
what does the thick walls of the arteries withstand
to withstand pressure of blood pumped by the heart
33
what do veins have thinner walls of
muscle layer and large lumen
