Look At Blood Supply Arteries and Veins Image
identify the inferior vena cava
Upper two chambers of the heart are called:
Atria
Blood Flows from the left atrium, through the bicuspid valve, into the ______
Left Ventricle
Arteries and Veins Supply Image
arteries supplying blood to the upper body
The Right atrioventricular valve is the:
tricuspid valve
Layers of the heart tissue image
which one is pericardial cavity, parietal layer of serous pericardium, and epicardium
parts of the heart image
aortic arch, tricuspid valve, right pulmonary veins, and epicardium
if the tricuspid valve is open, the _____ valve is also open
the bicuspid valve (mitral)
if the mitral valve is open, the ___ valve is also open
the tricuspid valve
Which vein carries oxygenated blood?
Pulmonary Vein
The pulmonary trunk conducts blood away from the heart toward the:
lungs
the brachiocephalic artery, left common artery, and left subclavian artery arise as the branches of the:
aortic arch
vulvar regergitation occurs when blood flows from:
the ventricles to the atria
an abnormal “hole” in between the right and left atrium is called a/an:
atrial septal defect
Image of medial section of the heart
Sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular node (AV),
chart of channel activity in the heart
channel activity predominating in the red, orange, and teal curves (NO resting potential)
Stimulating the vagus nerve would cause…
heart rate to decrease
refractory period graph
orange, purple, teal, and grey sections
Heart waves on a monitor
PQR waves, segments, all the parts
The heart relaxes and the atria fill with blood at this point:
diastole
The most commonly-quoted cardiac function measurement is the ejection fraction. This describes:
percentage of ventricles emptied at systole
