Cardiovascular System
Flashcards do conjunto (41)
- 1Systemic CirculationBlood flow to all body parts except lungs
- 2Pulmonary CirculationFlow of blood between heart & lungs only
- 3CV FunctionsStructures work together as an efficient system to pump blood to all body tissues, blood supplies oxygen & nutrients to tissues and transport cellular waste products
- 4Hearta muscular organ about the size of a fist, located just behind and slightly left of the breastbone. The heart pumps blood through the network of arteries and veins called the cardiovascular system.
- 5Blood55% liquid plasma, 45% formed elements
- 6ArteriesTransport blood away from heart to all body parts
- 7VeinsReturn blood from all body parts to heart
- 8CapillariesPermit exchange of nutrients & waste products between blood & cells
- 9Septumwall that seperates the 4 chambers
- 10AtriaTwo upper chambers of heart, receiving chambers and all blood vessels coming into heart enter here
- 11VentriclesTwo lower chambers of heart, pumping chambers, all blood vessels leaving heart emerge from here
- 12Tricuspid ValveControls the opening between the right atrium & right ventricle
- 13Mitral ValveOr bicuspid valve, located between left atrium and left ventricle
- 14Aortic Semilunar ValveLocated between left ventricle and aorta
- 15Pulmonary Semilunar ValveLocated between right ventricle and pulmonary artery, shaped like half-moon
- 16AortaLargest blood vessel in body, main trunk of arterial system, begins from left ventricle
- 17Vena CavaLargest vein in the body. They return blood to the right atrium of the heart
- 18Path of Deoxygenated BloodInferior/Superior Vena Cava --> R Atrium --> Tricuspid Valve --> R Ventricle --> Pulmonary Semi Valve --> Pulm Artery --> Lung Capillaries
- 19Path of Oxygenated BloodL Atrium --> Mitral Valve --> L Ventricle --> Aortic Semi Valve --> Aorta --> Arteries --> The Body
- 20DiastolePhase of the cardiac cycle when a heart chamber wall relaxes.
- 21SystolePhase of the cardiac cycle when a heart chamber wall contracts
- 22Sinoatrial NodeSpecialized tissue in the wall of the right atrium that initiates cardiac cycles; the pacemaker; SA Node
- 23Atrioventricular NodeSpecialized mass of cardiac muscl fibers in the interatrial septum of the heart: transmits cardiac impulses from the sinoatrial node to the AV bundle; AV node
- 24Purkinje FibersSpecialized muscle fibers that conduct the cardiac impulses from the AV bundle into the ventricular walls
- 25PacemakerMass of specialized muscle tissue that controls the rhythm of the heartbeat.
- 26QRS ComplexShows the contracation (stimulation) of ventricles, atria relax as ventricles contract
- 27P WaveDue to contraction (stimulation) of the atria
- 28T WaveRelaxation (recovery) of ventricles
- 29Electrical ImpulsesKnow as conduction system, come from nerves, stimulate myocardium and determine rate and regularity of heart beat, controlled by sinoartrial node, atrioventricular node and bundle of His
- 30Cardiac OutputA series of myocardial contractions and relaxations that constitute a complete heartbeat
- 31Stroke VolumeThe volume of blood that each ventricle discharges in a heartbeat
- 32Peripheral ResistanceResistance to blood flow due to friction between blood vessel walls
1. blood viscosity, 2. total blood vessel length, 3. blood vessel diameter - 33BP increaseBlood Flow Increase
- 34Resistance IncreaseFlow Decrease
- 35Lumenchannel within blood vessels
- 36Caused by the vibration and abrupt closure of the AV valves as the ventricles contract; this first sound is of longer duration and lower pitch than the secondFirst, or lub sound
- 37Caused by the closing of both the semilunar valves when the ventricles undergo diastole(relax)2nd sound "dub"
- 38arterial blood pressure is about120/80
- 39Where is the SA node located?R Atrium
- 40hemoglobinan iron-containing pigment found in red blood cells, carries 97% of oxygen.
- 41Cardiac PlexusA combination of sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers and an area for the brain to talk to the heart.
