what are the 3 layers of heart wall
epicardium
myocardium
endocardium
HEART WALL - epicardium
thin transport
adipose tissue
blood vessels
upon heart
HEART WALL - myocardium
composed of cardoimyocytes
arranged by spiral bundles
NAME THE 4 HEART CHAMBERS
right atrium
left atrium
right ventricle
left ventricle
HEART WALL - endocardium
lines the heart and its valves
simple squamous epithelium
pulmonary circuit
is the right hand circuit purpose is to gas exchange and respiration
systematic circut
- body - purpose is for circulation of oxygen and removing waste
vena cavas 2 types
- superior VC
- Inferior VC
coronary artery
1.
2.
- right CA
- Left CA
- right coronary artery
- left coronary artery
- comes from right side of aorta and feeds the right side
- this splits into 2 smaller branches
- left anterior descending artery (LAD)
- left circumflex artery (LCX)
name the 4 heart valves
- pulmonary valve - right
- tricuspid valve - right
- mitral valve -left
- aortic valve - left
heart sounds
1.
2.
- longer sound “lub”
- “dup”
cardiomyocytes
heart muscle cells that are joined by disc - desmosomes and gap junctions
sinoatrial node - right atrium
- sends an electrical signal to heart/ AV node via gap junctions
Atrioventricular node “gate keeper”
SA node 1. sends an electrical signal to heart/ AV node via gap junctions
2. passes the signal to bottom of heart
Atrioventricular bundle
- signal travels to the intraventrical septum, then separates into right and left bundle
Purkinje Fibres - large cells
- pass down inter ventricular septum and turn upward
electrocardium - P wave
shows atrial depolarisation
electrocardium - QRS
shows ventricular depolarisation
electrocardium - T wave
shows ventricular repolarisation
cardiac output
amount of blood pumped out by one ventricle in one minute
right ventricle
pumps into pulmonary arteries to lung
left ventricles
pumps into aorta to body
right atrium
revieves blood from….
receives blood via superior and inferior VC
