Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
inner layer of the heart is called   endocardium  
🗑
middle layer of the heart is called   myocardium  
🗑
outermost layer of the heart is called   epicardium  
🗑
what protects the heart   pericardium  
🗑
what is the fluid between the pericardium and epicardium called   pericardial fluid  
🗑
the bottom of the heart is called   apex  
🗑
the heart is located in the   mediastinum  
🗑
the heart is the size of a   fist  
🗑
feeds the heart wall   Coronary Arteries  
🗑
takes away the waste products   Coronary veins  
🗑
takes waste back to heart (right atria)   Coronary sinus  
🗑
how many chambers are there in the heart   4  
🗑
the 2 upper chambers of the heart are called   atria  
🗑
the bottom 2 chambers of the heart are called   right and left ventricle  
🗑
what separates the heart down the middle called   septum  
🗑
Co2 blood goes to the heart via the   superior and inferior vena cava  
🗑
the superior and inferior vena cava bring Co2 blood into what part of the heart   right atrium  
🗑
after the Co2 blood enters the right atrium it passes through the   tricuspid valve  
🗑
after the Co2 blood passes the tricuspid valve it goes where?   the Right ventricle  
🗑
when the Co2 blood leaves the right ventricle it leaves through the   Pulmonary semi-lunar valve  
🗑
the PSLV brings the blood to the   pulmonary arties  
🗑
pulmonary arties go to the   lungs  
🗑
how many pulmonary arties are there   2  
🗑
Oxygenated blood comes from the lungs to the heart via the   pulmonary veins  
🗑
how many pulmonary veins are there   4  
🗑
O2 blood comes through the pulmonary vein into what part of the heart   Left Atrium  
🗑
after 02 blood enters the Left Atrium it passes through the   bicuspid valve  
🗑
bicuspid AKA   mitral  
🗑
after the O2 blood passes through the bicuspid valve it goes where?   Left Ventricle  
🗑
The O2 blood leaves the Left ventricle it leaves through the   Aortic semi-lunar valve  
🗑
the ASLV brings the blood to the   Aorta  
🗑
The Aorta bring the Oxygenated blood to the   Rest Of the Body (ROB)  
🗑
Contraction phase =   Systole  
🗑
Relaxation phase =   Diastole  
🗑
Systole is the ______ pressure   Greatest  
🗑
Diastole is the _______ pressure   lowest  
🗑
the amount of blood pumped by one ventricle in one minute   Cardiac output  
🗑
how many liters of blood in an adult pump through the heart in one minute   5-6 liters  
🗑
the heart beats how many times per minute   60-100  
🗑
the circulation of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart and to the ROB is called   Cardiopulmonary circulation  
🗑
The cardiopulmonary Circulation is the ______ process of the heart   Mechanical  
🗑
The Cardiac conduction system is the ______ process of the heart   electrical  
🗑
Name all 8 steps of the Cardiac Conduction System   1.SA node 2.Artial Depolarization 3.AV node 4.Bundle Of His 5.R & L Bundle Branches 6.Purkinje Fibers 7.Venricle Depolarization 8.Repolarization of the ventricles  
🗑
group of specialized cells located in the upper right atrium   SA node  
🗑
SA node stands for   Sino-Atrial  
🗑
Sinus means   normal  
🗑
the SA node AKA   the hearts natural pacemaker  
🗑
spark travel across atria and causes contraction of Atria   Atrial depolarization  
🗑
group of specialized cells that hold the impulse until the atria empties   AV node  
🗑
AV aka   the GATEKEEPER of the heart  
🗑
AV stands for   Artio-ventricular  
🗑
The AV is located @ the junction of the   Right Atrium and Right Ventricle  
🗑
The Bundle Of His, right & left bundle braches, and Purkinje Fibers are all need to make   Ventricle Depolarization  
🗑
Ventricle Depolarization is   ventricle contraction  
🗑
Repolarization of the ventricles means   relax and refill  
🗑
the record of the electrical activity of the heart   Electrocardiogram  
🗑
What are the 4 unique characteristics of myocardial cells   1. Automaticity 2. Excitability 3. Conductivity 4. Contractility  
🗑
ALL myocardial cells have the ability to INITATE an impulse with out help from any system   Automaticity  
🗑
ALL myocardial cells have the ability to RESPOND to the impulse   Excitability  
🗑
ALL myocardial cells have the ability to RELAY the impulse to another cell   Conductivity  
🗑
All myocardial cells have he ability to respond with a PUMP ACTION   Contractility  
🗑
Inherent (Intrinsic) rates =   preset firing range  
🗑
SA node fires at   60-100bpm  
🗑
AV node fires at   40-60bpm  
🗑
the ventricular myocardial cells fire at   20-40bpm  
🗑
if SA node is not firing but still fires outside it is called   ectopic focus  
🗑
A lower site takes over when SA node fails   Escape (good)  
🗑
A site speeds up and takes over pacing of the heart   irritability (bad)  
🗑
The heart has 2 type of cells they are   electrical and mechanical  
🗑
it initiates and conducts impulses   electrical  
🗑
contraction in response to stimulation   Mechanical  
🗑
Electrical proceeds mechanical activity. True or false?   true  
🗑
the sequence of the events that takes place during 1 complete heart beat   cardiac cycle  
🗑
what are the 3 Electrical Terms of the cardiac cycle   Polarization, Depolarization, Repolarization  
🗑
electrical charges are balanced "state of rest"   polarization  
🗑
discharge of energy that accompanies the transfer of electrical charges across the cell   depolarization  
🗑
is the return of electrical charges to their original state of readiness   repolarization  
🗑
there is a refractory period where the myocardial cells can not be stimulated;   Relaxation phase  
🗑
There are 2 parts of the Relaxation phase, what are they   absolute and relative refractory  
🗑
cells can NOT be stimulated at all   absolute refractory  
🗑
cells can be stimulated, BUT w/o the desired effect   relative refractory  
🗑
slows down the body process   Parasympathetic nerves  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
