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
What is the function of the circulatory system?   Transportation and Protection  
🗑
Describe the location of the heart?   Between lungs, in lower portion of mediastinum, 2/3 of mass on left side, apex on diaphragm  
🗑
What does CPR stand for and when is this procedure required?   Cardiopulmonary Recussitation; when a patient has no pulse  
🗑
Name the four chambers of the heart   Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Atrium, Left Ventricle  
🗑
What is the myocardium?   Cardiac tissue of heart chambers  
🗑
What is the endocardium? Inflammation of endocardium?   Lining of the inner chambers of the heart; endocarditis  
🗑
What is the pericardium? What are its two layers? Where is each located?   Outer covering of the heart; visceral pericardium (lines outside of the heart), parietal pericardium (sac outside the heart)  
🗑
Differentiate between systole and diastole   Systole = contraction of heart, Diastole = relaxation of heart  
🗑
List the valves of heart and their functions   Tricuspid - separates right atrium from ventricle/Bicuspid - separates left atrium from ventricle/SL valves - separates right ventricle and pulmonary artery/Left semilunar valves - separates aorta from ventricle  
🗑
What sound does the heart make? What is taking place in the heart to cause this to happen?   Lub (closure of AV valves as ventricles contract) Dup (closure of SV valves as SL valves relax)  
🗑
Do all of the chambers contract at the same time? Explain.   No; atria contract first, then ventricles.  
🗑
Trace pathway of blood through heart and lungs.   Blood enters through vena cava - Right atrium -Tricuspid - Right ventricle - Pulmonary valve - Pulmonary artery - lungs - pulmonary veins - left atrium - left AV valve - left ventricle - aortic valve - aorta  
🗑
Differentiate between pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation.   Pulmonary: movement of blood from right ventricle to lungs / Systemic: movement of blood from left ventricle to lungs  
🗑
What is coronary circulation and why is it needed?   Delivery of oxygen rich blood to cardiac muscle tissue and the return of oxygen poor blood to venous system / Heart needs blood because it is a muscle  
🗑
Through what two blood vessels does blood flowing to the heart pass?   Right and left coronary arteries  
🗑
Describe coronary bypass surgery.   Veins or arteries are harvested from other parts of the body and are used to bypass partial blockages in coronary arteries, that could lead to a heart attack.  
🗑
What is angioplasty?   A procedure in which a device is inserted into a blood vessel to open a channel for blood flow  
🗑
What is the cardiac cycle and what does it include?   Cycle of each complete heartbeat - relaxation/contraction of atria, then ventricles  
🗑
What is the average heart rate? How long does it take to complete one cardiac cycle?   60-80 BPM / .8 seconds  
🗑
What are the four structures that make up the conduction system and what do they do?   SA node - atrial contraction / AV node - relays impulse through AV bundle and Perkinje fibers - ventricular contraction  
🗑
What is an artificial pacemaker used to treat?   Heart block  
🗑
What does the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave represent?   P wave - depolarization of atriaQRS complex - depolarization of ventriclesT wave - repolarization of ventricles  
🗑


   

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.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
