Layers of the Heart
The epicardium is apart of which layer?
Pericardium
Thin- walled vessels that allow for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, waste products, and other substances between the blood and cells
Capillaries
What circulation pumps blood from the heart to the heart
Coronary
Right side order of blood flow
SVC/ VC
Right Atrium
Tricuspid Valve
Right Ventricle
Pulmonary Valve
Pulmonary Artery
This disease is caused by Rheumatic fever, causes swelling and scaring of the valves, and usually occurs after a strep throat infection
valvulitis
The inner most layer of the heart wall that lines the chambers and valves of the heart
Endocardium
Define Arteries
Strong stretchy, thick-walled vessels that carry blood from the heart
Name all three types of circulation
Coronary, Pulmonary, and systematic
Left side order of blood flow
Pulmonary Veins
Left Atrium
Mitral Valve
Left Ventricle
Aortic Valve
Aorta
Swelling and irritation of the thin, saclike tissue surrounding the heart.
Pericarditis
Epicardium
Define blood
Contains nutrients for cells and carries waste products to be excreted
Oxygenated blood is pumped from the left side of the heart and moves through out the body.
Systemic
Deoxygenated blood coming from the lower body emptying into the right atrium
Inferior Vena Cava
The inability of the heart muscle to pump blood efficiently and blood backs up behind the failing pump
CHF
The muscle tissue of the heart
Myocardium
What is a myocardium infarction specifically what is going on with the blood flow
Blood flow is limited to the heart muscle. The heart muscle dies due to lack of oxygen.
Explain the difference between systemic and Localized
Systemic is all through the body, Localized is a specific area
The chambers of the heart are the
Atria and ventricles
The septal wall is not fully developed between ventricles causing a hole.
Ventricular septal defect
Membrane enclosing the heart
Pericardium
What is another term for the Mitral valve?
Bicuspid valve
Blood returns from the head, neck through the
Superior Vena Cava
deoxygenated blood travels to the lungs via
Pulmonary Artery
