🗑
Inferior Vena Cava   carries blood from the rest of teh trunk, the viscera,and the lower limbs  
🗑
Coronary Sinus   opening into the right atrium slightly below the connection with the inferior vena cava  
🗑
Fossa Ovalis   allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the left atriumwhile the lungs were developing at birth; closes and after 48 hrs is permanently sealed  
🗑
Right Atrioventricular Valve (AV)   Tricuspid Valve  
🗑
Chordae Tendineae   connective tissue fibers bracing each cusp  
🗑
Papillary Muscles   cone shaped projections on the inner surface of the ventricle; contraction of these muscles tenses the chordae tendineae limiting the movement of the cusps and preventing the backflow of blood into the right atrium  
🗑
Pulmonary Trunk   blood leaving right ventricle flows here; start of pulomonary circuit  
🗑
Pulmonary Semilunar Valve   guards entrance to pulmonary trunk  
🗑
Left/Right Pulmonary Arteries   branch repeatedly into the lungs  
🗑
Left/Right Pulmonary Veins   oxygenated blood moes into here; delivered into left atrium  
🗑
Left Atrioventricular Valve   bicuspid valve; mitral valve  
🗑
Aortic Semilunar Valve   blood leaving left ventricle passes through here before moving into the aorta (start of systemic system)  
🗑
Atrioventricular valves   prevent backflow from venticles into atria  
🗑
Regurgitation   backflow of blood into the atrium; heart murmur  
🗑
Aortic Sinuses   prevent the cusps from sticking to the wall of the aorta when the valve opens  
🗑
Fibrous Skeleton   dense bands of elastic connective tissue that encircle the bases of the large blood vessels carrying blood away from the heart and each of the heart valves  
🗑
Coronary Circulation   supplies blood to the muscle tissue of the heart  
🗑
Coronary Arteries   originate at the base if the aorta  
🗑
RCA   provides blood to the right atrium and portions of both ventricles  
🗑
LCA   supplies blood to the left ventricle left atrium and interventricular septum  
🗑
Anastomoses   small tributaries from branches of the left and right coronary arteries  
🗑
Great/Middle Cardiac veins   carry blood away from the coronary capillaries  
🗑
Coronary Sinuses   large thin walled vein in the posterior portion of the coronary sulcus  
🗑
Infarct   area of dead tissue caused by an interruption in the blood flow  
🗑
Myocardial Infarction   heart attack,coronary circulation becomes blocked and cardiac muscle cells die from the lack of oxygen  
🗑
Heartbeat   entire heart,atria and ventricles contracts in a coordinated manner so that blood in flows in the correct direction at the proper time  
🗑
Contractile Cells   produce powerful contractions that propel blood;bulk of the hearts muscle tissue  
🗑
Depolarization-Repolarization Process   250-300 msec,25-30 times as long as an action potential in a skeletal muscle fiber  
🗑
Conducting System   network of specialized cardiac muscle cells that initiates and distributes electrical impulses  
🗑
Nodal Cells   responsible for establishing the rate of cardiac contraction and are located at the sinoatrial (SA) and (AV) Nodes  
🗑
Conducting Cells   distribute the contractile stimulus to the general myocardium  
🗑
Major Sites of conducting cells   AV Bundle, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers  
🗑
