What is the difference between systemic and pulmonary circulation?
Systemic Circulation – delivers blood to all body cells and carries away waste
Pulmonary Circulation – eliminates carbon dioxide and oxygenates blood (lung pathway)
What are the functions of veins?
Veins are blood vessels that transport blood from various regions of the body back to the heart.
How many chambers does the heart have?
4
What are the functions of arteries?
Arteries are blood vessels that transport oxygen rich blood away from the heart to various regions of the body.
What are the functions of capillaries?
Capillaries are small, thin blood vessels that are found throughout the body.
Where does the right ventricle get the blood from, and where does it pump to?
Tricuspid to Pulmonary Valve
What is the apex of the heart?
Distal end of the heart
What roles do the bicuspid and tricuspid valve serving in the circulatory system?
Preventing back blood flow
What are the functions of the atria? Ventricles?
Atria – thin upper chambers that receive blood returning to the heart through veins
Ventricles – thick, muscular lower chambers. Pumps blood out of the heart through arteries (away).
Where is the pericardium located?
Surrounding the heart
What is the purpose of the superior and inferior vena cavas? (must list both)
Superior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from parts of the body above the heart
Inferior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from parts of the body below the heart
Which valve is on which side of the heart?
Bicuspid - Left
Tricuspid - Right
What happens at the lungs during circulation?
Blood changes from deoxygenated to oxygenated
How do you determine what is the left or right side of the heart?
Anatomical position
What is the primary purpose of body tissues?
Body tissues work by absorbing the oxygen from the blood and filtering out the CO2 to then become oxygenated at the lungs.
Using the diagram, what is number 6?
Aorta
Using the diagram, what is number 1?
Right Atrium
Using the diagram, what is number 9?
Pulmonary Vein
Using the diagram, what is number 5?
Pulmonary Artery
Using the diagram, what is number 3?
Left atrium
What are the definitions of the epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium?
Epicardium – outer layer, reduces friction
Myocardium – middle layer, mostly cardiac muscle
Endocardium – thin inner lining, within chambers of the heart
What is one circulatory disorder and what causes it?
This can come from any of the presentations
How is a heart attack caused? Be sure to know which specific arteries.
A blockage in the coronary arteries
What is one circulatory disorder and what causes it?
This can come from any of the class presentations
Name at least four parts of the blood flow that are linked to one another. (Ie: part of the pathway)
