CHAPTER 13 CARDIOVASULAR SYSTEM

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
cardiovascular system includes   heart,arteries,veins,capillaries  
🗑
pericardium   encloses heart & proximal ends of large blood vessels thats its attached  
🗑
layers of cardiac wall   epicardium myocardium endocardium  
🗑
epicardium   outer protection from friction connective tissue beneath epithelium  
🗑
myocardium   thick middle layer, cardiac muscle tissue pumps blood out of heart chambers  
🗑
endocardium   inner layer, epithelium & connective tissue contain many elastic & collagenous fibers  
🗑
blood flows through vena cavae & coronary sinus into right atrium through _, to right ventricle through pulmonary valve to pulmonary trunk into right & left _ to lungs, through pulmonary veins into _ through mitral valve to _ & through _ to aorta.   tricuspid valve alveoli left atrium left ventricle aortic valve  
🗑
vessels through blood flow from aorta to myocardium & back to right atrium   coronary arteries cardiac veins coronary sinus  
🗑
cardiac cycle   all events that take place in 1 complete heart beat  
🗑
S-A node   atrial syncytium junctional fibers  
🗑
A-V node   A-V bundle bundle branches purkinje fibers ventricular sncytium  
🗑
normal ECG pattern   PQRST  
🗑
P wave   depolarization of atria  
🗑
QRS wave   depolarization of ventricles  
🗑
T wave   repolarization of ventricles  
🗑
nervous system regulates cardiac cycle   parasymphatethic & sympathetic nerve fibers control S-A node auntonomic NS  
🗑
artery   strong, elastic vessels adapted carrying blood away from heart under high pressure  
🗑
arterioles   vessels subdivide progressive thinner tubes, eventually finer branched  
🗑
artery>arterioles   artery branches into arterioles  
🗑
control of vasoconstriction   impulses on vasomotor fibers stimulate smooth muscles to contract, reducing diameter of vessel  
🗑
control of vasodilation   vasomotor impulses inhibited, muscle fibers relax, diameter of vessel increases  
🗑
structure of capillary   smallest diameter blood vessels, connecting smallest arterioles & venules  
🗑
capillary physiology   substances in blood are excahnged for substances in tissue fluid surrounding body cells  
🗑
diffusion between blood and tissue   depends on concentration gradient, filtration forces molecules through w/ hydrostatic pressure  
🗑
why H2O & dissolved substances leave arteriolar end of capillary & enter venular end   colloid osmotic pressure unchanged, blood pressure decreased, reabsorption predominates  
🗑
vein   merged from a venule, carries blood back to atria, follows path of arteries  
🗑
venule   microscopic vessels continued from capillaries  
🗑
arterial blood pressure reaches its maximum when the ventricles contract   systolic pressure  
🗑
factors that influence blood pressure   blood volume strength of hear contractions heart rate blood viscosity peripheral resistance venous blood flow  
🗑
blood volume   larger volume= more pressure, hemorrhage causes pressure to drop rapidly  
🗑
strength of heart contractions   stronger heart beat increases blood pressure  
🗑
heart rate   too fast= left ventricle wont have time to fill & will squeeze out much less blood to aorta  
🗑
blood viscosity   thicker blood= more pressure  
🗑
peripheral resistance   larger lumen of vessel= faster flow  
🗑
venous blood flow   contracting skeletal muscles little pressure breathing movements vasoconstriction  
🗑
sympathetic reflexes in smooth muscle of vessels   vasoconstriction  
🗑
major factors that promote flow of venous blood   skeletal muscle contraction breathing arterial blood pressure  
🗑
pulmonary system   12% total blood right heart>lungs>left heart O2 poor blood from heart>lungs O2 rich blood back to heart  
🗑
systematic system   left heart>body>right heart O2 rich blood to body cells O2 poor blood back to heart  
🗑
aorta   largest diameter artery in body  
🗑
aorta principal branches   coronary brachiocephalic left common carotid left subclavian arteries descending aorta  
🗑
descending aorta   thoracic & abdominal group  
🗑
simple squamous   1 layer, square epithelial tissue  
🗑
smooth muscle   non striated, autonomic NS  
🗑
cardiac muscle   striated, heart  
🗑
arteries   blood vessel from heart to rest body  
🗑
veins   vessel from body to the heart  
🗑
capillaries   tiny blood vessel, beginning of vein  
🗑
pulmonary   lungs  
🗑
systemic   body system  
🗑
tunica   tissue forming layer/covering of organ/part tissue layers of blood vessel wall  
🗑
pulse   throbbing of arteries, by successive contractions of heart  
🗑
blood pressure   pressure by blood inner walls of arteries, elasticity/diameter of vessels and force of heartbeat  
🗑
card-   heart  
🗑
cusps   points  
🗑
phleb-   vein  
🗑
cardiovascular system physiology   pumps blood closed system 1 RBC completes pathway every minute maintain homeostasis of body fluids  
🗑
structure of heart   coverings wall chambers/valves tissue  
🗑
size of heart   5.5"x3.5"  
🗑
listen to heartbeat   between 5&6th ribs inferior to midpoint of left clavicle  
🗑
heart location   between lungs in lower portion of mediastinum apex lies on diaphragm pointing left  
🗑
heart coverings   pericardium  
🗑
pericardial sac   pericardium  
🗑
heart wall   epicardium myocardium endocardium  
🗑
heart chamber & valves   atria ventricles intervenricular septum tricuspid valve bicuspid valve pulmonary semilunar valve aortic semilunar valve  
🗑
atria   receiving  
🗑
discharging   ventricles  
🗑
separates 2 halves   interventricular septum  
🗑
mitral   bicuspid  
🗑
heart tissue   intercalated discks contain gap junctions desmosomes  
🗑
gap junctions   free movement of ions between cells  
🗑
desmosomes   joins cells together  
🗑
