Question
Answer
The heart is located in the   thoracic cavity between the lungs  
🗑
The thoracic cavity between the lungs is called the   mediastinum  
🗑
The heart is enclosed in the   pericardial membranes  
🗑
The outermost layer of the pericardial membranes is the   fibrous pericardium  
🗑
Lining the fibrous pericardium is the   parietal pericardium  
🗑
On the surface of the heart muscle is the   visceral pericardium  
🗑
The visceral pericardium is often called the   epicardium  
🗑
Between the parietal and visceral pericardial membranes is   serous fluid  
🗑
Myocardium   Cardiac muscle  
🗑
The chambers of the heart are lined with   endocardium  
🗑
The important physical characteristic of the endocardium is not its thinnes, but rather its   smoothness  
🗑
The upper chambers of the heart are the   right and left atria  
🗑
Interatrial septum   the common wall of the myocardium  
🗑
The lower chambers of the heart are the   right and left ventricles  
🗑
The right and left atria have _______ walls   thin  
🗑
The right and left ventricles have ______ walls   thick  
🗑
The ventricles are separated by teh   interventricular septum  
🗑
The atria receive blood from the   body or lungs  
🗑
The ventricles pump blood to either the   lungs or body  
🗑
Caval veins   return blood from the body to the right atrium  
🗑
The superior vena cava carried blood from the   upper body  
🗑
The inferior vena cava carries blood from the   lower body  
🗑
From the right atrium, blood will flow through the _______ _____________ _____ into the right ventricle   right atrioventricular (AV) valve  
🗑
The left atrium receives blood from the lungs by the way of four   pulmonary veins  
🗑
Blood flows into the left ventricle through the   left atrioventricular (AV) valve  
🗑
The left atrioventricular (AV) valve is also called the   mitral valve or bicuspid valve  
🗑
Another function of the atria is the production of a hormone involved in   blood pressure maintenance  
🗑
When the walls of the atria are stretched by increased blood volume or blood pressure, the cells produce   atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)  
🗑
Atrial natriuetic peptide is also called   atrial natriuertic hormone (ANH)  
🗑
ANP decreases   the reabsorption of sodium ions by the kidneys  
🗑
At the junction of a large pulmonary artery and the right ventricle is the   pulmonary semilunar valve  
🗑
Papillary muscles   columns of myocardium projecting into the lower part of the right ventricle  
🗑
Chordae tendineae   Strands of fibrous connective tissue that extend from the papillary muscles to the flaps o the tricuspid valve  
🗑
The left ventricle pumps blood to the body through the   aorta  
🗑
The aorta is the ________ artery of the body   largest  
🗑
At the junction of the aorta and the left ventricle   aortic semilunar valve  
🗑
The right side of the heart receives _________ blood from the body   deoxygenated  
🗑
The left side of the heart receives _________ blood from the lungs   oxygenated  
🗑
Ischemic   deprived of its blood supply  
🗑
Infarct   an area of necrotic (dead) tissue  
🗑
Myocardial inarction is commonly called a   heart attack  
🗑
Systole   contraction  
🗑
Diastole   relaxation  
🗑
Heart murmur   An extra sound during a heart beat, caused by the valves not closing properly  
🗑
The natural pacemaker of the heart is the   SA node  
🗑
From the SA node, impulses for contraction travel to the   atrioventricular (AV) node  
🗑
Atrioventricular bundle   The pathway for the electrical impulses to travels from the atria to the ventricles  
🗑
The atroventricular bundle is also called the   bundle of His  
🗑
Bundle branches   branches that come off of the atrioventricular bundle  
🗑
From the bundle branches, electrical impulses travel along   Purkinje fibers  
🗑
Arrhythmias are   irregular heartbeats  
🗑
ventricular fibrillation   a very rapid and uncoordinated ventricular beat that is totally ineffective for pumping blood  
🗑
A normal resting heart rate for an adult is   60 to 80 beats per minute  
🗑
Bradycardia   A resting heart rate of less than 60 bpm (except for athletes)  
🗑
Tachycardia   a prolonged or consistent rate greater than 100 bpm  
🗑
A child's normal heart rate may be as high as   100 bpm  
🗑
An infant's normal heart rate may be as high as   120 bpm  
🗑
A near-term fetus' normal heart rate may be as high as   140 bpm  
🗑
Stroke volume   The amount of blood pumped by a ventricle per beat  
🗑
Cardiac output=   stroke volume x pulse (heart rate)  
🗑
Starling's Law of the heart states   that the more the cardiac muscle biers are stretched, the more forcefully they contract.  
🗑
The _______ of the brain contains the cardiac center   medulla  
🗑
The two cardiac centers of the brain are the   accelerator center and the inhibitory center  
🗑
Pressoreceptors in the carotid sinuses and aortic sinus detect   changes in blood pressure.  
🗑
Chemoreceptors in the carotid bodies and aortic body detect   changes in oxygen content of the blood  
🗑
