| What travels along the coronary sulcus? | R/L coronary arteries |
| Superior vena cava receives blood from... | head, neck, UE, upper thorax |
| Inferior vena cava receives blood from... | lower thorax, and everything inferior to the diaphram |
| The coronary sinus brings deoxygenated blood from ___ to ____ | from myocardium to the R atrium |
| Pulmonary circuit (pathway) | blood of body -> R atrium -> tricuspid valve -> R vent -> pulmonary semilunar valve -> pulmonary artery -> lungs -> O2 blood -> pulmonary veins (4) -> L atrium |
| Systemic circuit (pathway) | O2 blood -> L atrium -> bicuspid/mitral valve -> L vent -> aorta -> body |
| BP of systemic circuit vs pulmonary circuit | systemic BP > pulmonary circuit |
| Angina pectoris | temp. deficiency in b supply to myocardium (exercise/stress induced) -> chest pain |
| Myocardial infarction (MI) | prolonged blockage of blood flow (ischemia) -> cardiac muscle cells die |
| Tricuspid valve lies b/w | R atrium and R vent |
| Bicuspid/mitral valve lies b/w | L atrium and L vent |
| Chordae tendinae | CT attaching papillary muscles to cusps |
| Chordae tendinae prevent.. | prolapse (of valves) |
| The atrioventricular valves are open during __ | diastole |
| Diastole | heart relaxes b/w beats, blood enters atria and ventricles, SL valves close from backflow (S2) |
| Systole | heart contraction = atria contract -> vent contracts + AV valves close (S1) -> force blood into pulmonary artery + aorta |
| The pulmonary valves lies between... | R vent and the pulmonary artery |
| The aortic valve lies between... | L vent and the aorta |
| Fibrous pericardium prevents | over-stretching of the heart |
| Heart depolarization (pathway) | SA node -> AV node -> AV bundle -> R/L bundle branches -> purkinje fibers |
| Intrinsic rate of SA node, AV node, and Purkinje fibers | SA: 75-100 bpm, AV: 50 bpm, Purkinje: 30 bpm |
| Pacemaker cells | SA node, AV node, Purkinje fibers |
| P wave | depolarization wave from SA to AV |
| P wave causes | atrial contraction |
| QRS wave | depolarization wave of ventricles |
| QRS wave causes | ventricular contraction |
| T wave | ventricular repolarization |
| S1 (heart sound) | closure of AV valves (beginning of systole) |
| S2 (heart sound) | closure of SL valves (beginning of diastole) |
| Stenotic murmur | valve of decreased diameter -> turbulent flow |
| Regurgitation murmur | valve does not close completely |
| Cardiac output (CO) | volume of blood pumped (by each ventricle) per minute |
| CO = | HR x SV (stroke volume) |
| Stroke volume (SV) | volume of blood pumped per beat |
| Ventricle ejects about __% of blood it contains | 60% |
| What increases SV? | increase venous return, increased atrial pressure |
