Respiratory,Circulatory,Cardiovascular,Endocrine, Blood Typing

TermDefinition
Epicardium outer protective layer (wall of the heart)
Myocardium middle muscle layer (wall of the heart)
Endocardium inner layer (wall of the heart)
upper chambers (Atria)-(singular atrium) receive blood returning to heart
lower chambers (Ventricles) receive blood from the atria and contract, which forces blood into arteries
Septum wall between the left and right atria and left and right ventricles
Tricuspid valve (3 cusps) between right atria and right ventricle
Bicuspid valve aka mitral valve (2) cusps) between left atria and left ventricle
Pulmonary semilunar valve blood leaving the right ventricle passing into the pulmonary arteries
Aortic semilunar valve blood leaving the left ventricle passing into the aorta(largest artery of the body)
Function of the valves keep blood flowing in the same direction and prevent back flow

What are the organs of the Respiratory System? Upper Respiratory tract: Nose,Nasal Cavity,Sinuses,pharynx Lower Respiratory tract:Larynx,trachea,bronchial tree,lungs
Nose contains hairs that filter out large particles in the incoming air, trapping bacteria -lined with mucus membrane
Nasal cavity nasal septum divides cavity into left and right and nasal Conchae give more surface area to nasal caviy
deviated septum crooked or out of place
Olfactory receptors smell-found in upper nasal cavity near cribiform plate
