Unit 2 Exam Flashcards
(107 cards)
atria
right and left
retrieving chambers
ventricles
right and left
pumping chambers
right atria
superior and inferior vena cava empty here
receive deoxygenated blood from systemic
right ventricle
pump for pulmonary circulation
thin wall
the valve between the right atria and right ventricle
tricuspid valve
pulmonary semilunar valve
the right ventricle pumps into right and left pulmonary arteries
artery
takes blood away from the heart
veins
return blood to the heart
left artria
receive oxygenated blood from pulmonary circulation from pulmonary veins
left ventricle
pumps blood to the systemic circulation via the aorta
wall is thick
the valve between the left atria and left ventricle
mitral or biscupid valve
the valve between the left ventricle and aorta
aortic semilunar valve
pulmonary circulation
blood from the heart to the lungs to become oxygenated
RV to the pulmonary valve to pulmonary arteries to lungs to pulmonary veins to LA
systemic circulation
pumps oxygenated blood from the heart to the body becomes deoxygenated
LV to the aortic valve to the aorta to arteries to all of the body to veins to superior and inferior vena cava to RA
myocardial cells
small, branches, single nucleus
blood supply to the heart
coronary arteries
electric pathway of the heart
SA node, AV node, AV bundle, Purkinje fibers
SA node
the pacemaker of the heart
within the RA
stimulates contraction
AV node
delays and relays signal to the ventricles so they can fill with blood
AV bundle
relays signal to the RV and LV
Purkinje fibers
sends a signal to RV and LV
stimulate RV and LV contraction when depolarized
ECG
recording hearts electrical activity
P wave
atrial depolarization
QRS complex
ventricular depolarization
