Question
Answer
Path of blood from heart   artery, arteriole, capillary, venule, vein  
🗑
largest blood vessel   artery  
🗑
where gasses & nutrients are exchanged   capillaries  
🗑
eurethrocytes   red blood cells  
🗑
leukocytes   white blood cells  
🗑
thrombocytes   clotting cells (platelets)  
🗑
coronary artery   artery that supplies myocardium of heart  
🗑
thickest muscle of heart   Left Ventricle  
🗑
when pressure inside ventricle is higher than that in the atria   AV valves shut to prevent backflow of blood  
🗑
Pulmonary artery   Blood vessel that carries deO2 blood to the lungs  
🗑
Left AV valve   Mitral/Bicuspid  
🗑
AV Valves attached w/   tendon chords to papillary muscles  
🗑
separates thoracic cavity from abdominal cavity   Diaphram  
🗑
pulmonary trunk divides into...   left and right pulmonary artery  
🗑
ability to self excite   autorythmicity  
🗑
conduction system of heart   SA node, AV node, av bundle (of HIS), bundle branches, perkinje fibers  
🗑
SA node   Pacemaker of heart  
🗑
end diastolic volume   amount of blood in ventricle before contraction  
🗑
end systolic volume   amount of blood in ventricles after contraction  
🗑
Stroke volume   End diastolic - end systolic  
🗑
Epinephrine   released by sympathetic NS raises heart rate  
🗑
Thyroid   increases heart rate  
🗑
when pressure in left Ventricle is greater than in aota...   Aortic semi-lunar valve opens & blood is ejected out of heart  
🗑
attaches to hemoglobin giving blood its red color   oxygen  
🗑
gap junction   electrical connect in cardiac muscle  
🗑
parasympathetic nerve that effects SA & AV node   Vagus #10  
🗑
contractility   muscles ability to generate force  
🗑
force   pressure forcing blood out of ventricles  
🗑
Starlings Law   when rate of blood flow to heart from veins increases/decreases heart automatically adjusts to match outflow  
🗑
increased venous return =   increased ventricular output  
🗑
preload   amount of blood in ventricles before they contract  
🗑
afterload   pressure in aorta during ejection phase  
🗑
