Stack #33649

Heart #3

QuestionAnswer
4 valves regulate 1 way flow of blood in heart
AV (atrioventricular) loc bet atria and ventricles
right AV is tricuspid
left AV is bicuspid AKA mitral valve
chordae tendineae are CT words which help anchor the cusps of valves to ventricular walls
semilunal (SL) valves: loc at base of lg arteries that join H to ventricles
when ventricles contract: pressure exceeds the BP in aorta and the SL valves are forced open
When ventricles relax the blood: backwashes against these valves and cusps fill & close valves
septum is a wall
sulcus is a groove
all living cells require contact w: blood supply
path of cardiac (cornorary) arteries: to the capillary beds of myocardium and join the cardiac veins to form an enlarged vessel called the coronary sinus, which empties blood into the R artium
cardiac arteries: vessels and their branches lie in epicardium and send branches into the myocardium. deliver blood when heart is relaxed
The L & R coronary arteries supply blood to the heart and arise from base of aorta
L cornorary artery supplies mostly left side and has 2 main arteries.
anterior interventricular artery and the circumflex artery come from the left coronary artery
anterior interventricular artery provides blood to the septum and both ventricles
circumflex artery supplies the left atrium and left ventrical wall
R coronary artery supplies R side of H and has 2 arteries.
Marginal artery and posterior interventricular artery are off the: Right cornorary artery
Marginal artery supplies myocardium of the lateral side of the right side of H
posterior interventricular artery runs to the: heart apex,. supplies the posterior ventricular walls and merges (anastomoses) W/anter interventricular artery.
Cardiac veins collect venous blood from capillary beds of myocardium
3 veins that feed into the coronary sinus are: great cardiac vein, middle cardiac vein & small cardiac vein
cardial veins return blood to the R atrium
Cardiac muscle is striated and uses sliding-filament mechanism
cardiac cells are short, fat branched and interconnected
