1carries blood from heart to lungs, blood is oxygen poor
right side of the heart
2receives blood from 3 places
right atrium
3drains blood above diaphragm (head, neck, thorax and upper limbs)
superior vena cava
4drains blood below diaphragm (abdominopelvic cavity and lower limbs)
inferior vena cava
5drains blood from myocardium
coronary sinus
6opens into pulmonary trunk
right ventricle
7located sa right side of the heart, carries blood from heart to lungs, blood is oxygen poor pero carbon diozide rich
pulmonary circulation
8collection of veins para mag join together together to form large vessels
coronary sinus
9splits into right and left pulmonary arteries
pulmonary trunk
10carry blood away from heart to lungs
pulmonary arteries
11carries blood from the heart to body, blood is oxygen rich and carbon dioxide poor
left side of the heart (systemic circulation)
12has 4 openings (pulmonary veins) that receive blood from lungs
left atrium
13opens into aorta, thicker and contracts more forcefully, higher blood pressure than right ventricle must get to body
left ventricle
14carries blood from left ventricle to the body
aorta
15supply blood to heart wall, originate from the base of aorta (above aortic semilunar valve
coronary arteries
16has 3 branches, supply blood to anterior heart wall and left ventricle
left coronary artery
17originates on right side of aorta, supply blood to right ventricle
right coronary artery
18collects blood from heart wall, originate from coronary sinus directly connected to the right atrium
coronary veins
19collects blood from the right ventricle
small cardiac vein
20collects blood from the lefr ventricle
great cardiac veij
21changes in membrane channels permeability responsible for producing action potentials
pacemaker potential
24repetitive pumping action which includes contraction and relaxation
cardiac cycle
25responsible for blood movement
pressure changes
26blood moves from areas of
high to low pressure
27first sound is lubb, due to the closing of the
atrioventricular valves
28second is dupp due to the closing of the
semilunar valves
29number of heart beats in one minutes, should have 72 beats per minsl
heart rate
30volume of blood pumped by a ventricle in 1 min, product of the heart rate snd the stroke volume
cardiac output
31sympathetic nervous system speeds heart rate, parasympathetic nervous system primarily vagus nerve fibers, slow and steady the heart ratw
neural (ans) controls
32epinephrine and thyroxine speed heart rate, excess or lack of calcium, sodium, potassium ions also modify heart activity
hormones and ions
33age, gender, exercise, body temperature influence heart rate
physical factors
