Question
Answer
The cardiovascular system consists of the following:   heart & blood vessels  
🗑
precordium   area on the anterior chest directly overlying the heart and great vessels  
🗑
great vessels   major arteries and veins connected to the heart  
🗑
The heart is found here   2nd to 5th intercostal space; from the right border of the sternum to the left midclavicular line  
🗑
where can you palpate the apex   5th intercostal space  
🗑
the functions of the superior and inferior vena cava is to   return unoxygenated venous blood to the right side of the heart.  
🗑
what is the difference between the function of the pulmonary artery and vein?   the pulmonary artery carries venous blood to the lungs from the right ventricle. the pulmonary vein returns oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart.  
🗑
aorta   carries the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body  
🗑
pericardium   tough, fibrous, double walled sac that surrounds and protects the heart. It has 2 layes and contains pericardial fluid to reduce friction and ensure smooth free movement of the heart  
🗑
atrium   holds the blood  
🗑
ventricle   muscular pumping chamber  
🗑
WHen do AV valves open? When do the close.   AV valves open during diastole (relaxing/ filling phase); AV valves close during systole (contracting).  
🗑
The tricuspid valve lies in the   right side of the heart  
🗑
the bicuspid valve lies in the   left side of the heart  
🗑
AV valves separate these structures   atrium and ventricle  
🗑
Semilunar valves seperate these structures   venticles and the arteries  
🗑
Semilunar valves: Right Left   Right: pulmonic valve Left: aortic  
🗑
Semilunar valves open during   systole to allow ejected from the heart  
🗑
There are no valves here:   between the vena cava and the right atrium; between the pulmonary veins and the left atrium  
🗑
High pressure in the left side of the heart   gives a person symptoms of pulmonary congestion  
🗑
Abnormally High pressure in the right side of the heart shows   in the neck veins and abdomen  
🗑
Direction of Blood flow   liver->RA->Inferior vena cava (superior drains venous blood from head and upper extremities).-> From RV, venous blood flows through pulmonic valve to pulmonary artery (Pulmonary artery delivers unoxygenated blood to the lungs).  
🗑
pulmonary veins return fresh blood   to the left atrium  
🗑
arterial Blood travels from the left atrium   through the mitral alve to the left ventricle  
🗑
Blood flows from an area of   higher concentration to lower concentration  
🗑
the pressure in atria   is higher than the pressure in ventricles  
🗑
early/ protodiastolic filling   first passive filling phase  
🗑
