Conducting system
SA node- depolarizes spontaneously, and when it does it sends an electric signal to heart to contract. It is called the pace maker. Usually 60-100 times a minute hence normal heart rate. In right atrium
AV node- found in the floor of the right atrium, picks up electrical impulse from SA node and sends it to muscular fibers called bundle of his
Bundle of his- runs in the inter ventricular septum (wall that separates left and right ventricle) where it branches where it turns into two in the left ventricle branches (anteriosuperior left bundle branch and posterior left bundle branch) and one right ventricle branch (right bundle branch)
the bundle branches have perkinje fibers that come off of them. these fingerlike structures deliver the electrical impulse into the myocardium where it then contracts. This is mechanical contraction where it can then be pumped out to the lungs

blood flow of heart
superior vena cava receives blood from head, neck, upper limbs, and chest.
The inferior vena cava receives blood from the trunk, viscera, and lower limbs
both vena cava’s drain into the right atrium
- blood goes from right atrium to right ventricle through the tricuspid valve
- blood exits right ventricle through the pulmonary (R. Semilunar) valve and enters the pulmonary artery
- the pulmonary artery splits into left and right pulmonary arteries and goto each respective lung
- in the lungs gas exchange occurs. the lungs discard CO2 and pick up O2
- the blood comes back to heart via pulmonary veins and enters the left atrium
- the blood goes from the left atrium through the mitral/ bicuspid valve into the left ventricle
- the blood exits the left ventricle through the aortic (L. semilunar) valve into the aortic arch
- the aorta distributes blood to the body
What heart valves are open during diastole?
your mitral and tricuspid valves, blood is pouring through the atria into the ventricles
What heart valves are open during systole?
your pulmonic and aortic valves, because your heart is contracting. mitral and tricuspid must be closed to create pressure
blood flow with arrows
SVC/IVC → Right Atrium → Tricuspid Valve → Right Ventricle → Semilunar/Pulmonic valve → pulmonary arteries to lungs → pulmonary veins to heart → Left Atrium → Bicuspid Valve → Left Ventricle → Aortic Valve → Aorta
→ Brachiocephalic Trunk/ Left Common Carotid/ Left Subclavian/ Descending Aorta
pulmonary circulation
takes veins from the right ventricle to the lungs (right side of heart)
systemic circulation
from the left ventricle to the rest of the body (higher pressure than pulmonary)
coronary circulation purpose
to get oxygenated blood to the heart. Requires coronary (crown) arteries
coronary circulation of arteries
Left Coronary Artery: (comes off of ascending aorta, distal to aortic valve)
-Left Anterior Descending A (supplies left ventricle). → lat. left ventricular br. (secondary br) ((supplies left ventricle)
Circumflex (supplies most of left atrium) → diagonal br
Right Coronary Artery: (comes off of ascending aorta, distal to aortic valve)
Right Marginal A. (supplies the inferior surface of right ventricle)
Post. Descending A.
- Circumflex artery anastomoses with with right coronary artery
- posterior descending artery anastamoses with left anterior descending artery
