Question
Answer
Describe the heart.   show
🗑
show 300 grams (10.6 oz).  
🗑
show By the patient's age, weight, exercise, and heart disease.  
🗑
show To pump blood to the tissues, supplying them with oxygen and other nutrients while removing carbon dioxide and other waste products of metabolism.  
🗑
show Varies according to body build, but is generally 70 ml per contraction.  
🗑
What is the cardiac output per minute?   show
🗑
Where is the mediasinum located?   show
🗑
What is the pericardium?   show
🗑
show Trauma and infection.  
🗑
Parietal pericardium   show
🗑
Visceral pericardium   show
🗑
show Pericaridum  
🗑
How much fluid is located between the heart and the pericardial lining and what are its functions?   show
🗑
What chambers make up the heart?   show
🗑
show The septum.  
🗑
What chamber is responsible for ejecting blood into the arteries?   show
🗑
What are the functions of the atria?   show
🗑
How many valves are in the heart and what are their functions?   show
🗑
show Thin, leaflets of fibrous tissue, open and close passively in response to pressure changes and blood movement.  
🗑
show Atrioventricular and semilunar.  
🗑
show Atrioventricular valves.  
🗑
What are the atrioventricular valves composed of?   show
🗑
show Papillary muscles and chordae.  
🗑
show Tricuspid valve.  
🗑
2 cusps whcih lie between the left atrium and the left ventricle.   show
🗑
show Papillary muscles.  
🗑
Fibrous bands extending from papillary muscles to the edges of the valve leaflets.   show
🗑
Situated between each ventricle and its corresponding artery.   show
🗑
show Pulmonic valve and aortic valve.  
🗑
show Pulmonic valve.  
🗑
show Aortic valve.  
🗑
Coronary arteries.   show
🗑
How much oxygen does the heart use?   show
🗑
Where do the coronary arteries arise from?   show
🗑
show Left main coronary artery (left anterior descending artery and cirumflex artery) and the right coronary artery.  
🗑
What is the function of the left main coronary artery?   show
🗑
show Left anterior descending artery.  
🗑
show Cirumflex artery.  
🗑
show To supply blood to the right side of the heart. The coronary arteries are perfused (passage of fluid) during diastole (period between contractions).  
🗑
Specialized muscle tissue composing the wall of the heart.   show
🗑
show In an interconnected manner (syncytium) so that they can contract and relax in a coordinated manner.  
🗑
What are the 3 cardiac muscles?   show
🗑
show Myocardium.  
🗑
The inner lining of the myocardium which is in contact with the blood.   show
🗑
show Epicardium.  
🗑
show Generate and coordinate the transmission of electrical impulses to the myocardial cells.  
🗑
show Sequential atrioventricular contraction, which provides for the most effective flow of blood, thereby optimiizing cardiac output.  
🗑
Name the components of the conduction system.   show
🗑
show SA node.  
🗑
What is the function of the SA node?   show
🗑
How many pulses does the SA node initiate in a resting normal heart.   show
🗑
show It is conducted along the myocardial cells of the atrium to the AV node.  
🗑
Located in the right atrial wall near the trisucpid valve, but this group of specialized cells have an intrinsic rate of 40-60 impulses per minute.   show
🗑
show Coordinates the incoming electrical impulses from the atria and, after a slight delay, relays an impulse to the ventricles.  
🗑
show Through a bundle of specialized muscle fibers (bundle of HIS) that travel in the septum separating the left and right ventricles.  
🗑
show Divides into the right and left bundle branches, which terminate in fibers called the Purkinje fibers.  
🗑
Where does the right bundle of the Purkinje fibers lead?   show
🗑
show It divides again into the left anterior and left posterior bundle branches, which fan out into the left ventricular muscle.  
🗑
How is the heart rate determined?   show
🗑
What happens if the SA node malfunctions?   show
🗑
What if the AV and SA nodes fail?   show
🗑
The amount of blood pumped by the ventricles during a given period?   show
🗑
What is the cardiac output of a typical adult?   show
🗑
show Cardiac output (CO).  
🗑
Amount of blood ejected per heartbeat?   show
🗑
show HR: 60-80 beats/minute. SV: 70 ml/beat  
🗑
What are the 3 factors that control stroke volume?   show
🗑
What is the structure of blood vessels in systemic circulatio?   show
🗑
show Tunica intima.  
🗑
show Tunica media.  
🗑
show Tunica adventitia.  
🗑
Example of the structure of blood vessels.   show
🗑
show Arteries further away from the heart contain a greater proportion of smooth muscle fibers bc arteries must be able to constrict and dilate to control BP and volume w/in capillary beds.  
🗑
Blood flow:   show
🗑
Where do oxygen, nutrients, and other substances needed for cellular metabolism travel?   show
🗑
show Smallest veins; receive capillary blood.  
🗑
show Flows into larger and larger veins until it reaches the vena cava and then into the atrium.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
