Question
Answer
Where is the heart located?   media stinum  
🗑
2/3 of the heart on the ________ side; 1/3 of the heart on the __________ side.   Left, Right  
🗑
The base of heart is made up of ___________ called ______ and ____________.   Vessels; aorta and apex  
🗑
Four chambers of the heart   R/L atrium; R/L ventricle  
🗑
Apex is made up of   L ventricle  
🗑
APical pulse   5th intercostal rib  
🗑
Atria   Receive blood from lungs and body  
🗑
Ventricles   Pump blood to lungs and body  
🗑
Which artery is only one w/ deoxygenated blood?   Pulmonary Artery  
🗑
Valves purpose is to   Prevent back flow  
🗑
The common wall between right and left side of the heart   Septum  
🗑
What type of blood is found on right side of the heart?   Deoxygenated  
🗑
What type of blood is in left side of the heart?   Oxygenated  
🗑
What is the function of the coronary arteries?   Supply blood to the heart muscle  
🗑
Condition where lack of blood supply, partially blocked and considered an injury is   Ischema  
🗑
Complete lack of blood supply to the heart   Myocardial Infarction  
🗑
What causes heart sounds?   The opening and closing of the valves  
🗑
Myocardium   Middle muscular of the heart, most important  
🗑
Endocardium   Innermost layer of the sac lining the heart surface w thin tight covering (visceral pericardium)  
🗑
Pericardium   Double walled membranous sac; parietal peri. Fluid between layers protects  
🗑
Layer responsible for contraction and relaxation action of the heart   Myocardium  
🗑
Layer that lines the vessels, valves and ventricles   Endocardium  
🗑
Tricuspid valve is located   Between R atrium and R ventricle  
🗑
Bicuspid Vale aka Mitral is located   Between L atrium and L ventricle  
🗑
Pulmonary Semilunar Valve is located   Between R ventricle and pulmonary artery  
🗑
Aortic Semilunar Valve is located   Between aorta and L Ventricle  
🗑
The system of the heart is called   Conduction system  
🗑
Primary pacemaker of the heart that sets speed and rhythm, located upper side of R atrium   SA Node  
🗑
HR below 60   Bradycardia  
🗑
HR above 100   Tachycardia  
🗑
Starts working when SA node stops; aka gatekeeper   AV Node  
🗑
Small fibers located in ventricular walls   Purkinjie Fibers  
🗑
NOrmal inherent rate of SA Node   60-100 BPM  
🗑
Inherent rate of AV Node   40-60 BPM  
🗑
Inherent rate of Purkinjie fibers   20-40 BPM  
🗑
How the impulses travel through the heart is called the   Conduction pathway  
🗑
How long is the delay when impulse reaches AV node   1/10 of a second  
🗑
Responsible for conduction system   Electrical cells  
🗑
Responsible for contraction and relaxation   Mechanical cells  
🗑
Ability of myo.card cells to generate and maintain heart rhythm w/o external stimuli   Automaticity  
🗑
Ability of myo.card. Cells to respond to an impulse   Excitability  
🗑
Ability of myocard cells to respond to an impulse by pumping action   Contract ability  
🗑
Ability of my.card cells to relay an impulse to neighboring cells   Conductivity  
🗑
The junction all escape rhythm   AV node  
🗑
Idioventrial rhythm   Purkinjie fibers  
🗑
Difference of the charge across the cell membrane results in depolarization and depolarization   Action potential  
🗑
Polarization   Resting state of myocardial cells  
🗑
Depolarization   The electrical current state ions move across cell membrane more positive inside. Results in contraction of cell  
🗑
Repolarization   Ions return back to their original charge, results in relaxation of the cell  
🗑
SA node is working it is called   NOrmal Sinus rhythm (NSR)  
🗑
SA fails and AV or PF take over it is called   Escape Rhythm  
🗑
fluid within sac of pericardium   pericadial fluid  
🗑
heart contracts in which phase?   systole  
🗑
heart rests in which phase?   diastole  
🗑
SA node is located   upper side of R atrium  
🗑
largest veins in body are   Superior Venacava  
🗑
two upper chambers are __________________ and function as ______________ chambers   R & L atrium; receiving  
🗑
two lower chambers are called _______________ and function as _________________ chambers   ventricles; pumping  
🗑
outer layer of heart   epicardium  
🗑
heart has how many layers?   3  
🗑
