Question
Answer
The two upper chambers of the heart   atria  
🗑
carries blood from the lower body   inferior vena cava  
🗑
carries blood from the head and upper extremities   superior vena cava  
🗑
largest vein that drains the heeart   coronary sinus  
🗑
the right and left rides of the heart are sepreated by an internal call of connective tissue   septum  
🗑
seperates the right and left atria   interatrial septum  
🗑
two lower chambers of the heart   ventricules  
🗑
where is the base of the heart   top of the heart  
🗑
encircles the outside of the heart and seperates the atria from the venticles   sulci  
🗑
when the left heart is to recieve oxygenated blood and pump it out to the rest of the body   systematic circulation  
🗑
the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to   pulmonary circulation  
🗑
which part of the heart is a high pressure pump?   left side  
🗑
addictional contribution of 30% blood resulting from atrial contraction   Atrial kick  
🗑
the amount of blood ejected from the venticle with each heartbeat.   stroke volume  
🗑
the percent of blood pumped out of a heart chamber with each contraction. normal is 50%   ejection fraction  
🗑
is a thin smooth layer of epithelium and connective tissue that lines the hearts inner chamber valves, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles.   Endocardium  
🗑
is a thick layer that consists of cardiac muscle fibers (cells) responsible for the pumping action of the heart   myocardium  
🗑
is a double-walled sac that encloses the heart and helps protect it from trauma and infection   pericardium  
🗑
life threatening condidtion   cardiac tamponade  
🗑
a procedure in which a needle is inserted into the pericardial space and the excess fluid is sucked out (aspirated) through the needle   pericardiocentesis  
🗑
a membrane that covers smooth, stirated, and cardiac muscles   sarcolema  
🗑
energy -producing elements of a cell   mitochondria  
🗑
substances in intracardiac cells pass through broken cell membranes and leak into the blood stream   MI (myocardial infraction_  
🗑
cardiac markers   tropin, creatine kinase, and myoglobin  
🗑
seperate the atria from the ventricles   antriventricular valves  
🗑
has two cusps, it lies between the left atrium and left venticle   mitral valves  
🗑
is the av valve that lies between the right strium and right ventricle (3 seperate cusps or flaps)   tricuspid valve  
🗑
are thin strands of connective tissues   chordae tendinae  
🗑
they are the pulmonic and aortic valves, that prevent back flow of blood from the aorta and pulmonary arteries into the ventricles   semilunar valves (sl)  
🗑
if a valve narrows, stiffens or thckens, the valve is said to be stenosed. the heart must work harder to pump blood through the stenosed valve   valvular stenosis  
🗑
if a valve flap inverts it is said to prolaps   valvular prolapse  
🗑
when does a heart sound occur?   because of vibrations in the tissues of the heart caused by the closing of the heats valve  
🗑
what are normal heart sounds called?   s1 and s2  
🗑
name the 1st heart sound   "lubb"  
🗑
name the 2nd heart sound   "dubb"  
🗑
what is an abnormal heart sound called?    
🗑
