Q

What is the function of the AV valves?

A

Allows blood flow from atria into ventricles and prevents blood flow back into atria when ventricles contract.

Q

What is the function of Semilunar valves?

A

Allow blood out of ventricles into arteries when ventricles contract. Then doesn’t allow back flow of blood back into ventricles when they relax.

21
Q

Balanced arterial pattern occurs about ______% of the time.

A

20%

22
Q

What is Coronary artery disease?

A

Occlusion of major coronary artery, usually due to antherosclerosis, leads to inadequate oxygenation of an area of myocardium and cell death.

23
Q

What is a Myocardial infarct (MI)?

A

(heart attack) Occurs when perfusion to myocardium is insufficient tot meet the metabolic needs of the tissue.

24
Q

What are the symptoms of a MI?

A
  • Classic heaviness/ pressure

- Pain radiating to arm (left generally)

25
Q

______ is commonly used for bypass grafts.

A

Great Saphenous vein

26
Q

______ is commonly used for bypass grafts.

A

Great Saphenous vein

  • harvested from ant./med. region of the thigh or leg.
  • can be sutured into aorta & distal branch of Coronary A.
27
Q

_____ & _____ may also be used for coronary bypass graft.

A

Int. thoracic A & Radial A.

28
Q

T or F, Heart has the ability to maintain confection system without CNS innervation.

A

True

29
Q

_____ does affect rate of heartbeat.

A

ANS

30
Q

_________ increase heart rate.

A

Sympathetic innervation from T1-T5

31
Q

_________ decreases heart rate.

A

Parasympathetic innervation from Vagus N.

32
Q

______ & ______ both contribute to both superficial and deep cardiac plexuses of nerves.

A

SNS & PNS

33
Q

_____ is the “pacemaker” of the heart.

A

Sinatrial (SA) node

34
Q

What makes up the Conduction system of the heart?

A

SA node
AV node
AV bundle
AV bundle branches R & L

35
Q

Damage to conduction system results _____.

A

Cardiac arrhymthmias

36
Q

Damage to AV node will cause _______.

A

Heart block

37
Q

_____ may be inserted to control the contractions.

A

Pacemaker

38
Q

Where is pacemaker placed?

A

Placed in contact with endocardium of ventricular wall

39
Q

Electrode terminal of pacemaker is firmly fixed to _______.

A

Trabeculae carneae

40
Q

What attaches to the papillary muscles?

A

Chordae Tendoneae

41
Q

What do the papillary muscles do?

A

Papillary muscles contract and tighten chordae tendineae preventing valve flaps from everting into atria.

A

Aorta

48
Q

Where is AV node located?

A

Just superior to opening of coronary sinus.
