heart pumps oxygen-poor blood from the _____ system through the lungs to be reoxygenated   venous  
🗑
function is to carry blood to and from the body's tissues and cells   Blood vessels (arteries, capillaries, veins)  
🗑
the heart is a cone-shaped, hollow, muscular organ located in the ____________ which is the space between lungs in the thoracic cavity   mediastinum  
🗑
the _______ of the heart is directed toward the body's right side   base  
🗑
______ is directed toward the left, resting on the diaphragm   apex  
🗑
______ side of heart recieves deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it into the lungs   right  
🗑
_____ side of heart recieves oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumpts it through the aorta to the body   left  
🗑
loose-fitting membrane or fibroserous covering of the heart   pericardium  
🗑
outer layer of the heart   epicardium  
🗑
middle layer of the heart; composed of striated muscle fibers   myocardium  
🗑
innermost layer of the heart; continuous with the blood vessels, lining the hearts cavities and valves   endocardium  
🗑
two upper "recieving" chambers in the heart   atria  
🗑
two lower "distributing" chambers in the heart   ventricles  
🗑
recieves deoxygenated blood from body via superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps into the right ventricle   right atrium  
🗑
recieves oxygenated blood from lungs and pumps into the left ventricle   left atrium  
🗑
separates the atria   interatrial septum  
🗑
recieves blood from right atrium and pumps out to lung via pulmonary arteryh   right ventricle  
🗑
recieves oxygenated blood from the left atrium and pumps out blood to body   left ventricle  
🗑
largest, most muscular chamber in the heart   left ventricle  
🗑
seperates the ventricles   ventricular septum  
🗑
provide for one-way flow of blood   cardiac valves  
🗑
atrioventricular valves   tricuspid and mitral  
🗑
guards opening between right atrium and ventricle (prevents backflow)   tricuspid valve  
🗑
guards opening between left atrium and ventricle (prevents backflow)   mitral valve  
🗑
prevents backflow into ventricles   semilunar valves  
🗑
valve between pulmonary artery and right ventricle   pulmonary semilunar valve  
🗑
valve between aorta and left ventricle   aortic semilunar valve  
🗑
disease of these arteries is the leading cause of death in the US   coronary arteries  
🗑
supply the left ventricle, septum, and apex   left coronary arteries  
🗑
supply the right ventricl and the SA node   right coronary arteries  
🗑
site of impulse initiation; located at junction of SVC and RA; regulates heart rate, rhythm, and regularity   Sinoatrial node (SA node)or pacemaker  
🗑
located at the base of the right atrium; recieves impulses from SA node and delays them slightly; generates impulses when SA node fails (at a rate of approx. 40-60 bpm)   Atrioventricular node (AV node or AV junction)  
🗑
composed of special cardiact muscle fibers that originate in the AV node, then break into left and right bundle branches that extend down the interventricular septum, where they are continuous with purkinge fibers   Bundle of His  
🗑
contraction of (ejection of blood from) both atria and then both ventricles   systole  
🗑
relaxation and filling of both atria and then both ventricles   diastole  
🗑
amount of blood ejected with each beat   stroke volume  
🗑
number of beats per minute   heart rate  
🗑
stroke volume X heart rate   cardiac output  
🗑
cardiac output depends on: (3)   preload, afterload, contractility  
🗑
ability of the heart to adjust to increased demands from stresses such as exercise, excitement, fever, cold, acceleration, deacceleration, or disease states   cardiac reserve  
🗑
originate in the aorta or its branches; transport blood to the systemic circulation   arteries  
🗑
assists the flow of blood to the arteries or acts as a reservoir for blood during ejection of the ventricles   aorta  
🗑
originates in the right ventricle and transports deoxygenated blood from the circulation to the lungs to be oxygenated (only artery that carries deoxygenated blood)   pulmonary artery  
🗑
carry deoxygenated blood and body waste from the systemic circulation to the right atrium by way of the IVC and SVC   veins  
🗑

🗑
return ocygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium (only vein carrying oxygenated blood)   pulmonary veins  
🗑
capillaries that are the smallest arteries   arterioles  
🗑
capillaries that are the smallest veins   venules  
🗑
veins have ______ to ensure unidirectional blood flow   valves  
🗑
regulates heart rate, influences arterioular constriction and blood pressure   autonomic nervous system  
🗑
neural reflexes are controlled via vasomotor center in the _______ _______   medulla oblongata  
🗑
pressure exerted by the blood against walls of vessels   blood pressure  
🗑
max pressure of blood against arterial wall when contracting   systolic blood pressure  
🗑
lowest pressure of blood exerted against arterial wall when heart is at rest   diastolic blood pressure  
🗑
difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure   pulse pressure  
🗑
ABC's of CPR when pt in cardiopulmonary arrest   Airway, Breathing, Circulation  
🗑
rhythmic disturbances   dysrhythmias  
🗑
