Question
Answer
thickest muscular layer of the heart   Myocardium  
🗑
outermost layer of the heart wall that is also part of the pericardium   epicardium  
🗑
layer of the heart that intercalated disk are found   Myocardium  
🗑
why is the heart considered a double pump   right side pumps in oxygen to the lungs through the pulmonary circuit,left side pumps oxygenated blood to the remainder of body through systemic circuit  
🗑
lower chambers of the heart are called   ventricles  
🗑
valve that is located at the exit of the right ventricle   Pulmonary valve  
🗑
chamber of the heart that has thick muscular walls capable of generating the largest force   left ventricle  
🗑
what partition seperates the 2 atria   Atrial septum  
🗑
another name for the right atrioventricular valve   tricuspid valve  
🗑
the 2 semilunar valves   Pulmonary valve and Aortic valve  
🗑
aortic valve prevents blood from reentering which chamber   Left ventricle  
🗑
which layer of the heart wall does coronary circulation provide blood supply to   Myocardium  
🗑
the fisrt branches off the aorta   right and left coronary arteries  
🗑
what is coronary sinus   dilated vein that opens into the right atrium near the inferior vena cava that collects blood that is drained from the coronary arteries  
🗑
active phase of the cardiac cycle   systole  
🗑
during ventricular systole,are the av valves open or closed   closed  
🗑
what is cardiac output the product of   stroke volume and heart rate  
🗑
what is stroke volume   volume of blood ejected from the ventricle with each beat  
🗑
what do chordae tendineae attach to valve flaps to   Papillary muscle  
🗑
the normale pacemaker of the heart that sets the heart rate   SA node  
🗑
through what pathways can impulses travel directly from SA node to the AV node   Internodal pathways  
🗑
what defect does parasympathetic stimulation have on heart rate   decreases heart rate  
🗑
what effect does sympathetic nervous system have on heart rate   increases  
🗑
bradycardia   slow heart rate less than 60 beats minn  
🗑
tachycardia   fast heart rate more than 100 beats minn  
🗑
when does the lubb heart sound occur   at the start of the ventricular systole  
🗑
what causes the dupp sound of the heart   sudden closure of the semilunar valves  
🗑
what is murmur and what is the simplest piece of equipment needed to detect it   an abnormal heart sound due to faulty action of valve.a stethascope  
🗑
endocarditis   inflamation of lining of the heart  
🗑
preicarditis   inflamation of the serious membrane on the heart surface as well as the lining of the pericardial sac  
🗑
what cause atrial septal defect   failure of the foramen ovale to close(a small hole in the septum between the right and left atria)  
🗑
ductus arteriosus   small blood vessel in the fetus that connect the pulmonary artery and the aorta so that some blood headed tward the lungs will enter the aorta instead  
🗑
coarctation   a localized narrowing of the aortic arch  
🗑
medical term for heart attack   Myocardial infarction  
🗑
the area of tissue damaged in a heart attack   infarct  
🗑
angina pectoris   chest pain  
🗑
risk factors for heart attack that cannot be modified   age,gender,heredity,body type  
🗑
risk factors for heart attack that can be modified   smoking,physical inactivity,overweight,saturated fat in diet,high blood pressure,diabetes,gout  
🗑
function of the electrocardiograph   used to record electrical changes produced as the heart muscle contracts  
🗑
what happens in catheterization   catheter is passed through the veins of the arm or groin then into the heart,blood samples are obtained along the way for testing and preasure readings r taken  
🗑
what effects does digitalis have on heart muscle contractions   slows and strenthens  
🗑
function of beta-adrenergic blocking agents   control sympathetic stimulation of heart,they reduce the rate and strength of heart contractions,thus reducing the hearts oxygen demand  
🗑
if SAa node fails to generate a normal heart beat what can be inserted   artificial pacemaker  
🗑
purpose of angioplasty   to open restricted arteries in the heart and other areas of the body  
🗑
what is a stent   a small tube that can be inserted in a vessel to keep it open and prevent repeated blockage  
🗑
what is the SA node   the pace maker of the heart  
🗑
where is the SA node located   right atrium  
🗑
SA node sends regular electrical impulses to the ventricles causing them to   contract  
🗑
what structure relays electrical impulses to ventricles causing them to contract   AV node  
🗑
when watching a EKG what is happing w/ P wave   activity in the atria  
🗑
when watching EKG what is happing w/QRS and T wave   activity in ventricles  
🗑
ischemia   lack of blood supply to the area fed by the arteries  
🗑
occlusion   closing of a vessel  
🗑
stenosis   narrowing of a duck or canal  
🗑
fibrillation   very rapid uncoorinated beating of the heart  
🗑
