Heart

Exam II

QuestionAnswer
Fibrous pericardium - outermost - tough/protects
Parietal pericardium - lines inside of fibrous facing heart
Visceral pericardium - covers surface of heart itself
Heart=? Lung=? Stomach=? - pericardium - pleura - peritoneum
Pericarditis - making too much fluid (cardiac tamponade)
Layers of heart: 1. Epicardium-outermost 2. Myocardium- thickest; middle 3. Endocardium- thin layer, squamous epithelium
Interatrial septum wall separating L and R atria
Interventricular septum Wall between ventricles
Foramen ovale - opening in heart in fetal stage - allows oxygen to transfer to kids from mother within womb - seals into fossa ovalis (impression)
Moderator band - electrical highway from inter ventricular septum to papillary muscle so they are able to contract and shut tricuspid
Cardiac skeleton - prevents electricity from going upstairs
Big doors slamming=? Small door slamming=? - Lub - Dub
Valvular heart disease: - deterioration of valve function - result from rheumatic fever (inflammation)
Valvular insufficiency: - fails to prevent back flow during contraction - "shh"
Valvular stenosis: - hardening and narrowing; does not allow valves to seal
Heart murmur: - Sound of regurgitation
4 areas for listening to the heart: 1. aortic- right, 2nd space 2. Pulmonic- left, 2nd space 3. tricuspid- left, 4th space 4. Mitral- left, 5th space
What does coronary circulation do? - supplies blood to muscle tissue of heart
Coronary arteries: - elevated bp and elastic rebound of aorta maintain blood flow through arteries - you want it to be like a rubber band
End arteries: - do not overlap with others
Cardiac veins: - collect deoxygenated blood from myocardium
Sinoatrial nodal artery: - supplies the node (pacemaker)
Left ant. descending artery=? the widow maker
What are all three names of left side artery? 1. widow maker 2. left ant. descending artery 3. ant. inter ventricular artery
Great cardiac vein: - runs with widow maker
Coronary sinus: - end point of all cardiac veins
Coronary cardiac disease: - blockage of coronary circulation - coronary ischemia: to be without oxygen
Angina pectoris: - temporary ischemia develops when workload of heart increases.
Myocardial infarction: - Coronary thrombus: thrombus formation at a plague - when closer to start of artery, damage is widespread. - blocked involves small branch, may survive crisis.
Damages myocardial cells release which enzymes into circulation? - Cardiac troponin T - Cardiac troponin I - Form of creatine phosphokinase, CK-MB
Collateral circulations: - alternate circulation around blocked artery or vein via another path. - regular exercise promotes this
Heartbeat: - a single cardiac contraction
Rhythmicity: - singular heartbeat
Automaticity: - Cardiac mm. Does not depend on extrinsic nerves to contract but contracts via pacemaker cells - pacemaker is generator; atp is gas
Cardiac myocyte is connected by ? - intercalated discs
Intercalated discs: - connect cardiac contractile cells - secured by desmosomes - linked by gap junctions
two kinds of cardiac myocytes: 1. conductive- electricity messengers, form nodes and branches 2. contractile- cardiac muscle cells, produce muscle contractions, calcium dependent
Cardiac action potential phases in order: 0- depolarization 1- brief (early) repolarization 2- plateau 3- repolarization 4- diastole/rest
Absolute refractory period - nothing can happen because it is totally depolarized; you cannot make it contract again because it is busy
Relative refractory period - toilet is almost full again, so if you keep trying then you might get a little flush
What happens at a plateau? - Ca and K are passing each other so the heart has enough time to depolarize
Conduction pathway of electricity in order: 1. Sinoatrial node 2. Internodal tracts and Bachmann's bundle 3. atrioventricular node 4. atrioventricular (av) bundle of his 5. L and R bundle branches 6. Purkinje fibers
What is a sinus rhythm? - normal electrical pattern established by SA node - cat and dog story
SA node is the ? pacemaker
AV bundle of his: - connects atria to ventricle
L and R bundle branches: - extends towards apex and fans out to reach purkinje fibers - sends impulse to moderator band
Purkinje fibers: - fast conductors that reach all ventricular myoctyes
5 phases of cardiac cycle: 1. atrial systole (atria squeeze, forces downstairs) 2. early ven. systole (lights on downstairs) S1 3. late ven. systole (semilunar valves open) 4. early ven. diastole (S2) 5. late ven. diastole (opens doors) SOUNDS ON TWO EARLIES LATES DOING WORK
Isovolumetric ven. systole: - no changes or squeezing, but getting ready
Ventricular ejection: - blood is ejected into arteries (SL valves)
Stroke volume: - amount of blood pumped out of ventricle during contraction
Cardiac output formula: HR X SV=CO
End diastolic volume: - amount of blood in ventricle after diastole
End systolic volume: - amount of blood in ventricle after systole
SV formula: SV=EDV-ESV
What are the factors affecting stroke volume? - preload (how hard you push), contractility, after load (obstacles to overcome), bradycardia (under 60), tachycardia (over 100)
Inotropic agents: - influences forces of contraction
Chronotropic agents: - time change, influences change
Edema: - going back into the tissues

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
