🗑
CARDIA ?   Relating to the HEART  
🗑
PERICARDIUM / PERICARDIAL MEMBRANES ?   There are 2 Layers to this Sac: the Fibrous Pericardium and the Serous Pericardium. The Serous Pericardium, in turn, is divided into 2 Layers; in between these 2 Layers there is a potential Space called the PERICARDIAL CAVITY.  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out (E,PC,M,E,PP)   Endocardium, Pericardial Cavity, Myocardium, Epicardium & Parietal Pericardium  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out, ENDOCARDIUM ?   This Innermost Layer of the Heart is made up of ENDOTHELIAL Tissue that Lines the Inside of the Heart.  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out, The ENDOCARDIUM is CONTINUOUS Through All Your Blood Vessels. TRUE or FALSE ?   TRUE  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out, PERICARDIAL Cavity ?   Working you way out, in this Space, you find the CORONARY VESSELS - the Blood Vessels that Supply the Tissues of the Heart with Nutrients & Oxygen  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out, MYOCARDIUM ?   This next Layer out is the Hard-Working, Contracting Muscular Layer of Your Heart  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out, EPICARDIUM ?   This Inner Layer of the Pericardium Covers the Mtocardium.  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out, EPICARDIUM Secreates ?   Secreates PERICARDIAL Fluid, which Protects the Tissues as they Rub Together when the Heart Beats.  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out, PARIETAL PERICARDIUM Location & Made of ?   Beyond the Pericardial Cavity, Working your way out to the Outside of the Heart, This Outermost Layer of the Heart is a THIN, WHITE Covering Made of Fibrous CONECTIVE Tissue.  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out, EPICARDIUM Function ?   Joins the Major Blood Vessels (such as the Aorta) to the Sternum & Diaphram.  
🗑
HEART, Inside Out, EPICARDIUM, Also Secretes ?   Like the Epicardium it Also Secretes Pericardial Fluid.  
🗑
HEART, 4 Hollow Chambers ?   Left ATRIUM, Right ATRIUM, Left VENTRICLE & Right VENTRICLE.  
🗑
HEART, Left & Right ATRIUM are Called ?   The ATRIA.  
🗑
HEART, The ATRIA are Seperated by ?   A MEMBRANE Called the INTER-ATRIAL SEPTUM.  
🗑
HEART, The VENTRICLES are Seperated by   A MEMBRANE Called the INTER-VENTRICULAR SEPTUM.  
🗑
HEART, Each Chamber of the Heart is Seperated by ?   The VALVES.  
🗑
HEART, VALVES Function ?   They Allow Measured Amount of Blood into a Chamber.  
🗑
HEART, VALVES Prevent ?   Blood Flowing Backward, Keep the Blood Flowing in the Right Direction, Which Helps Maintain the Proper Rhythm Action in the Heart.  
🗑
HEART, 2 Types of Valves ?   The ATRIO-VENTRICULAR Valves (Which are Between the Atria & the Ventricles) & SEMILUNAR Valves.  
🗑
HEART, 2 Types of ATRIOVENTRICULAR Valves ?   BICUSPID Valve has TWO Flaps & the TRICUSPID Valve Has THREE Flaps.Bi= 2 & Tri= 3 Hence the Name.  
🗑
HEART, 2 Types of SEMILUNAR Valves ?   PULMONARY Semilunar Valve & AOTRIC Semilunar Valve, both have THREE Flaps which are Shaped Like Half-Moons, Hence the name.  
🗑
HEART, Double PUMP for 2 Reasons 1st ?   the heart has TWO kinds of Chambers - Atria & Ventricles, The Atria Contract Simultaneously & then the Ventricles Contract Simultaneously.  
🗑
HEART, Double PUMP for 2 Reasons 2nd ?   The Heart Pumps Blood Through TWO Routes - the Arterial & Venous Systems.  
🗑
