Heart Valves Flashcards
(46 cards)
Where is the tricuspid valve located
Between the right atrium and right ventricle
Tip: tricuspid is closer to R in the alphabet
Where is the mitral valve located
Between the left atrium and left ventricle
Tip: think mitral follows L for LEFT
What is the mitral valve also known as?
Bicuspid valve
Endocardium is located where?
It is the inner most layer of the heart
Where is the myocardium located
It is the muscular layer of the heart
Where is the pericardium located
It is the protective sac that encloses the heart
Where is the pulmonic valve located
Between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery
Where is the aortic valve located
Between the left ventricle and aorta
What are semi lunar valves?
They are the valves located between the ventricles and major arteries…. They are called the pulmonic and aortic valves.
During diastole are the mitral and tricuspid valves constricted or relaxed?
They are relaxed.
During systole are the aortic and pulmonic valves constricted or relaxed?
They are relaxed.
When you hear diastole what valves must you think of
Tricuspid and mitral
When you hear systole, what valves must you think of
Aortic and pulmonic
Where are the coronary arteries located
On the epicardial layer of the heart
What does the (RCA) right coronary artery supply
RCA supplies the right atrium and right ventricle
What does the Cardiac system comprised of
Systole and diastole
What is systole
Contraction of the atria and ventricles
What is diastole
Relaxation of the heart
When do the ventricles and coronary arteries fill with blood
During diastole
What is stroke volume
Amt of blood ( in cc) ejected from the ventricles with each heart beat.
What is stroke volume affected by?
Pre load, after load, and contractility
What is normal stroke volume
60-130 cc/ beat
What is contractility
Extent and velocity of fiber shortening: (calcium involved)
What is cardiac output
Amt of blood ejected from the heart per minute
