Question
Answer
Heart Location, size, and position   located in mediastinum, 2/3 of mass to the Left, 1/3 to the right, apex on the diaphragm.  
🗑
CPR   Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, rhythmic compression of the heart.  
🗑
Heart Chambers   Two upper chambers, two lower chambers  
🗑
Atria   upper chambers  
🗑
Ventricles   lower chambers  
🗑
Myocardium   cardiac muscle tissue  
🗑
Endocardium   smooth lining of heart chambers  
🗑
Endocarditis   inflammation of the lining of heart chamber  
🗑
Pericardium   covering sac  
🗑
Visceral pericardium or epicardium   inner layer  
🗑
Parietal pericardium   outer layer  
🗑
Systole   contraction  
🗑
Diastole   relaxation  
🗑
Heart Valves   keep blood flowing through the heart and prevent backflow  
🗑
Atriventricular Valves   AV valves, tricuspid and bicuspid valves, located between the atria and ventricles  
🗑
Tricuspid   opening at the right atrium into the right ventricle  
🗑
Bicuspid (mitral)   at the opening of the left atrium into the left ventricle  
🗑
Semilunar valves   Pulmonary valve and Aortic valve  
🗑
Pulmonary valve   beginning of the pulmonary artery  
🗑
Aortic valve   beginning of the aorta  
🗑
"Lup" sound   first sound (lub) cuased by the vibration and closer of the AV valve during contraction of the ventricles (QRS complex)  
🗑
"dup" sound   second sound caused by closure of the semilunar valves (pulmonary and aortic valves) during relaxation of the ventricles  
🗑
The heart acts as...   two separate pumps  
🗑
Sequence of blood flow:   Inferior vena cava, superior vena cava> R atrium> R Ventricle> pulmonary valve> pulmonary artery> lung> arterioles> capillaries> venules> pulmonary vein> L atrium> L ventricle> aortic valve> aorta >body.  
🗑
Heart blood supply:   coronary circulation  
🗑
Coronary circulation:   Coronary vein> Coronary sinus> R artrium (when the semilunar valves closed)> Normal sequence of blood flow> coronary artery (branching off from the aorta)> heart muscle!  
🗑
MI   myocardial infarction, heart attack, heart tisse death  
🗑
Angina Pectoris   chest pain caused by inadequate O2 to the heart  
🗑
Coronary bypass surgery   veins from other body parts used to bypass clot in the coronary arteries  
🗑
Ventricular Diastole   heart muscle is supplied with oxygenated blood  
🗑
Cardia cycle   one single heartbeat, last 0.8 seconds  
🗑
Stroke volume   volume of blood pumped out by one ventricle each beat  
🗑
Cardiac Output   amount of blood that one ventricle can pump each minute, average is 5L per min.  
🗑
Conduction system of the heart consists of   SA node, AV node, bundle of His, Purkinje fibers  
🗑
SA (sinoatrial node)   the pacemaker, located in the wall of R atrium. fires electrical impulse  
🗑
AV node   located in the R atrium (slightly linger the electricle  
🗑
AV bundle (bundle of His)   located in the septum of the ventricle  
🗑
Purkinje fibers   located in the walls of the ventricles (signal the ventricles to contract)  
🗑
ECG   Electrocardiogram, visible tracing of electrical signals  
🗑
P wave   associated with depolarization of the atria  
🗑
QRS complex   associated with depolarization of the ventricles  
🗑
T wave   associated with repolarization of the ventricles  
🗑
Tunica intima   inner layer of endothelial cells (vein has valves)  
🗑
Tunica media   smooth muscle with some elastic tissue, thick in arteries, important in blood pressure regulation (thin in veins)  
🗑
Tunica externa   thin layer of fibrous elastic connective tissue (heavy layer in vein)  
🗑
Systemic circulation   carries blood throughout the body  
🗑
Pulmonary circulation   carries blood to and from lung  
🗑
Hepatic portal circulation   unique blood route through the liver, has two capillary beds, assist with hemostasis of blood glucose level  
🗑
Fetal circulation   circulation before birth, modificat ion required for fetus to efficiently secure oxygen and nutrients from the maternal blood  
🗑
BP   pus or force of the blood in the vessel, highest in the arteries, lowest in the veins  
🗑
Factors influence BP   Blood volume, strength of ventricular contractions, blood viscosity, resistance to blood flow  
🗑
Central venous pressure   venous blood pressure within right atrium  
🗑
Pulse   alternate expansion and recoil of the blood vessel wall  
🗑
