Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
the heart is the __ system and the blood vessels are the ___   transport - delivery route  
🗑
the heart is located in the ___ which is a subdivision of the ___   pericardium - mediostinum  
🗑
what side is the pulmonary circuit on?   right  
🗑
the systemic circuit is located on the __ side   left  
🗑
which circuit pumps blood through the lungs?   pulmonary  
🗑
the systemic circuit pumps blood:   through the body's tissues & organs  
🗑
the pulmonary circuit __ oxygen and __ carbon dioxide   picks up - releases  
🗑
the systemic circuit __ oxygen & __ CO2   supplies - removes  
🗑
epicardium   outer layer  
🗑
myocardium   middle layer - *contracts*  
🗑
endocardium   inside layer  
🗑
the ___ layer is composed of mainly cardiac muscle   myocardium  
🗑
this layer lines the heart chambers   endocardium  
🗑
what happens if there is too much fluid in the heart?   heart can't move & contract to pump  
🗑
if there isn't enough fluid in the heart, this causes:   adhesion  
🗑
which veins carry oxygenated blood?   pulmonary  
🗑
what does the superior vena cava do?   drains head & thoracic region  
🗑
the coronary sinus...   collects all the blood  
🗑
inferior vena cava   drains neck & down  
🗑
what prevents blood from coming back in atrium?   chordae tendinae  
🗑
what happens if you have oxygenated & deoxygnated blood flowing together?   it can cause back flow - causing blood not to flow effiiciently  
🗑
when heart cells die, they don't repair. true or false.   true  
🗑
angina pectoris   severe chest pain --> caused by lack of oxygen to heart muscle  
🗑
ischemia    
🗑
myocardial infaraction (heart attack)    
🗑
what are the receiving chambers of the heart?   atria  
🗑
what are the 2 largest veins?   superior & inferior vena cava  
🗑
deoxygenated means:   used, full of waste & CO2  
🗑
what is the only artery that brings oxygneated blood to the heart?   left pulmonary artery  
🗑
this vein returns blood from body superior to diaphgram   superior vena cava  
🗑
the inferior vena cava returns blood from body ____   inferior to diaphgram  
🗑
what are the 4 chambers of the heart?   right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium & left ventricle  
🗑
the right atrium receives __ blood   deoxygenated  
🗑
in the right atrium, blood enters via what 3 veins?   the vana cavas & coronary sinus  
🗑
in the right ventricle ___ blood flows from the ___   deoxygenated - right atrium  
🗑
in the right ventricle, blood flows in from the __ and flows out through the __   right atrium - pulmonary trunk  
🗑
the left atrium receives what kind of blood?   oxygenated  
🗑
oxygenated blood is   new blood  
🗑
blood enters the left atrium from the ___ and exits through the __   pulmonary veins - left ventricle  
🗑
the most muscular chamber of the heart is the ___   left ventricle  
🗑
__ blood flows in the left ventricle   oxygenated  
🗑
blood comes in the left ventricle via __ and leaves through the __   mitral valve - aortic valve  
🗑
the right ventricle & atrium are apart of which circuit?   pulmonary  
🗑
the systemic circuit is on the __ side of the heart   left  
🗑
why is the heart considered a double pump?   because each side supplies its own circuit  
🗑
when blood is going from the right atrium to the right ventricle, it is passing the __ valve   tricupsid  
🗑
when blood is traveling from the right ventricle to the pulmonary trunk, its passing the __ valve   pulmonary semilunar  
🗑
blood goes from the left atrium to the left ventricle via the __ valve   bicuspsid  
🗑
when blood is leaving the left ventricle to the aorta, its passing through which valve?   semilunar vavle  
🗑
blood leaves the vena cavas & coronary sinus then travels to the __ then the right ventricle to the ___ then off to the ___, then the __ when it leaves there it goes to the:   right atrium pulmonary trunk lungs heart 4 pulmonary veins  
🗑
when blood leaves the pulmonary veins it goes to the ___ then ___   left atrium left ventricle  
🗑
after blood leaves the left ventricle it goes to the ___ then the body then the __ and the process starts over   aorta - heart  
🗑
coronary cicrulation is:   the functional blood supply of the heart  
🗑
the shortest circulation in the body is__   coronary circulation  
🗑
the left & right coronary arteries arise from the __ which :   aorta - provides aortal supply of coronary circulation  
🗑
venous blood is collected by the ___ and empties into the ___   cardiac veins - coronary sinus  
🗑
what 2 large vessels receive blood from the left & right ventricles?   aorta & pulmonary trunk  
🗑
arteries go in which direction of the heart?   away  
🗑
veins go __ heart   to the  
🗑
the atrioventricular valves consist of which 2 valves?   tricupsid & mitral  
🗑
mitral valve   between left atrium & left ventricle  
🗑
the atrioventricular valves controls blood flow between the __   upper & lower chambers  
🗑
which valve prevents blood flow into atria when the ventricles are contracting?   atrioventricular valve  
🗑
the atria is the __ chamber   receiving  
🗑
the ventricles are the __ chamber   discharging  
🗑
the semilunar valves consist of:   pulmonary & aortic vavles  
🗑
the semilunar valve prevents backflow in ventricles when ventricles are:   relaxing  
🗑
gap junctions are cell junctions that:   allows ions to move across the heart - heart beats as unit  
🗑
this cell junction acts as an anchor - holding cells together as heart beats.   desmosomes  
🗑
where are gap junctions & desosomes located?   intercalated disc  
🗑


   

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.
