Heart

TermDefinition
Pericardium Heart is enclose in double-welled sac called the pericardium, the superficial part is called the fibrous pericardium which protects the heart anchors it to surrounding structures, and prevents overfilling of the ventricle
Pericardium 2. Deep to the fibrous layer is the serous layer a thin slippery membrane that forms a closed sac around the heart + cavity the visceral layer os the epicardium is part of wall secrete 20-60 mL of serous fluid, which acts as a lubricant to minimize friction
Pericardium cavity Film of serous fluid, when lubricared, the membranes glide and alllow the heart to work
Epicardium Infiltrated with fat in older people
Myocardium muscle of the heart + dense w/ mitochondria
Endocardium lining Endothelim, located on inner myocardial surface, it acts as a barrier separating the myocardium (muscle) from blood, reduces friction, prevents clotting, and houses the conduction system (Purkinje fibers)
Circuits for blood The separation into two circuits is essential for efficient nutrient delivery and waste removal:
Pulmonary The right side of the heart recieves oxygen-poor blood from the body tissues and then pumps this blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and dispel CO2, R. Ventricle (deox) -> lungs -> L. atrium O2 -> deox -> lungs -> deo2
Systemic The left side of the hear recieve the oxygenated blood returning from the lungs and pumps this blood throughout the body to supply oxygen and nutrients to body tissues, Heart->body ->L ventricle O ->body _> R.atrium NO->O2-> body ->O2
Heart valves ensure unidirectional blood flow through the heart
Atrioventricular valves Between Atria and ventricle - ensure one way blood flow , includes tri anf bicuspid
Semi - lunar valve between ventricles and vessels (pulmonary and aortic semilunar valve)
Chordae tendinae Attached to Tricuspid valves in AVm strings attached to pimply muscles called papillary muscles which open and close AV valvee. Heart murmur means defective.
Microscopic structure Desmosomes (wells in intercolated discs) and gap junctions in between desmosomes acts a form of communicastion so heart is functional as a unit.
Process essay 3: sequence of excitation Sinoatrial valves, the natural pacemaker is R. Atria impluse speads across A. causing contractions along with depolarization, impluses reaches AV nodes for ventricular filling/contractions , then Bundle of HIs is reached, which divides implusw to L +R
Process essay 3: sequence of excitation Signal rapidly speads through Punkinje fibers initating ventricular contraction
pacemakers SA: 75 -> 30% AN 50 -> 3,4,5 drop by half 25 bpm
Cardiac crackle +sound: Lub-dup blood smashing against vlaves anf heart murmur broken valves swish noise.
Foreman ovale Hole in heart between L and R atria because fetus has no lunchs uses placent and closes and seals during life,
OLder Cardiac function declines myocardial infarction: heart attacj when blood vessel to heart is blocked and vessel dies.
Process essay 2: Body, vena cava, right atria, tricuspid, right venticle, pulmonary semi-lunar valve, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, bicuspid valve, left ventricle, aortic semilunar valve, aorta, body

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
