Lesson 3 Flashcards
(82 cards)
Transports oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
Circulatory system
Two main components of the circulatory system
Cardiovascular system and lymphatic system
Hollow muscular organ that has 4 chambers
Heart
Thin, fluid-filled sac around the heart
Pericardium
Thin, water membrane on the outer layer of the heart that covers the heart and is a attached to the pericardium
Epicardium
Thick layer of cardiac muscles in the middle layer of the heart that pumps blood to the arteries by contracting
Myocardium
Thin layer of epithelial cells in the inner layer of the heart that lines and interior chambers
Endocardium
Receives deoxygenated blood
Right atrium
Receives blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the pulmonary artery
Right ventricle
Recent oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle
Left atrium
Receives blood from the left atrium and pumps it into the aorta
Left ventricle
Prevents blood from flowing back to the right atrium
Tricuspid value
Prevents blood from flowing back to the left atrium
Bicuspid valve or mitral value
Prevents blood from flowing back to the right ventricle
Pulmonary value
Prevents blood from flowing back to the left ventricle
Aortic valve
Separates the right and left atria
Intertrial septum
Separates left and right ventricles
Interventicular septum
The heart receives blood supply through the?
Left and right coronary arteries
Poor circulation due to the inadequate supply of oxygen can head to?
Ischemia
Complete obstruction of the coronary artery can lead to
Myocardial infarction or heart attack
Systole and diastole
Cardio cycle
Electric impulses throughout the myocardium which is initiated by the sinoatrial node
Electrical conduction system
First sound as the ventricle contract or the AV value closes
“Lubb”
Second sound which is heard when the semilunar value closes and the ventricle relax
“Dubb”
