Question
Answer
Layers of the Heart   endocardium, myocardium, pericardium  
🗑
Endocardium   inside of the heart  
🗑
Myocardium   cardiac muscle on the outside of the heart  
🗑
Pericardium   membranous sac surrounding the heart  
🗑
Chambers of the Heart   right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle  
🗑
Right Atrium, Left Atrium   two top chambers  
🗑
Right Ventricle, Left Ventricle   two bottom chambers  
🗑
Septum   verticle divsion of the heart  
🗑
Normal Average Heart Rate   70-90 beats per minute  
🗑
Bradycardia   slow heart rate; below 60 beats per minute  
🗑
Tachycardia   fast heart rate; above 100 beats per minute  
🗑
Murmur   abnormal heart sound; valves are not closing at the right time or tightly enough  
🗑
Right Atrium   receives venous blood (deoxygenated blood from the veins); gets blood low in oxygen to the lungs from the body tissue; receives blood from  
🗑
Superior Vena Cava   brings blood from the head, chest, and arms  
🗑
Inferior Vena Cava   drains the blood from the lower extremities and trunk  
🗑
Right Ventricle   receives blood from the right atrium; deoxygenated blood; pumps to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries  
🗑
Left Atrium   receives blood high in oxygen (oxygenated) from the pulmonary veins from the lungs; receives freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs  
🗑
Left Ventricle   has the thickest wall; pumps the oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to all parts of the body from the aorta  
🗑
Aorta   largest artery; responsible for pumping blood to all parts of the body; it pumps into the systemic circulation  
🗑
Valves   right atrioventricular, left atrioventricular, pulmonic valve, aortic valve  
🗑
Right Atrioventricular   AV valve; AKA tricuspid valve  
🗑
Left Atrioventricular   AV valve; AKA mitral valve, AKA Bicuspid valve  
🗑
Pulmonic Valve   AKA pulmonary semilunar valve; between right ventricle and pulmonary artery  
🗑
Aortic Valve   AKA aortic semilunar valve; between the left ventricle and the aorta  
🗑
Chordae Tendineae   thin, strong, fibrous bands that attach to the walls of the ventricles to stabilize the valve flaps when the ventricles contract to prevent backflow of blood during heartbeats  
🗑
Blood Supply of Myocardium   coronary artery, coronary sinus  
🗑
Coronary Artery   R&L; 1st area to receive oxygenated blood from aorta; on outside of heart-supply myocardium w/oxygenated blood; become clogged when you have a heart attack; triple bypass-bypass these arteries w/veins from leg or breast; heart receives oxygen & nutrients  
🗑
Coronary Sinus   empties into the right atrium and collects venous blood from the heart; venous blood goes from the outside of the heart to the inside of the heart; deoxygenated blood goes back to the right atrium  
🗑
Cardiac Cycle   systole, diastole  
🗑
Systole   the active phase of the cardiac cycle (heartbeat); contractions of the atria, and then the ventricles  
🗑
Diastole   resting phase; heart rests for 0.8 seconds; relaxation as all areas fill with blood, then systole starts again  
🗑
One Heartbeat   contractions of the atria, ventricles contract, relaxation as all areas fill with blood, then systole starts again  
🗑
Cardiac Output   volume of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute; determined by stroke volume and the heart rate  
🗑
Stroke Volume   the amount of blood ejected from the ventricles with each beat  
🗑
Heart Rate   the number of beats per minute of the heart  
🗑
Conduction System   SA node, AV node, AV bundle, bundle branches, perkinje fibers  
🗑
SA Node   upper wall of the right atrium; it  
🗑
AV Node   atrioventricular; in the intra-atrial septum at the bottom of the right atrium  
🗑
AV Bundle (Bundle of His)   at the top of the interventricular septum; extends to all parts of the entricular walls to the bundle branches and then to the perkinje fibers  
🗑
Sinus Rhythm   when the heartbeat originates at the SA node in the upper wall of the right atrium  
🗑
Sympathetic Nervous System   increases the heartbeat  
🗑
Parasympathetic Nervous System   brings the heart rate back down  
🗑
Lubb-dupp   sound herd when the AV and the semilunar valves close; if problem-will har murmur; no lubb dubb  
🗑
Myocardial Infarction (MI)   causes death to an area of the heart muscle; one of the areas on the ouside of the heart- one of the coronary arteries is not supplying bood to one part of the myocardium  
🗑
Mitral Stenosis   problems with mitral valve (bicuspid)-defect of the bicuspid valve- not closing properly; will push blood in both retionsonortion because it's still open a it  
🗑
Mitral Valve Prolapse   valve will push itself up- difficult for blood to flow through; kind of bends over on itself  
🗑
