brain and spinal cord; everything else
The right atrium and ventricle house _____ blood.
Deoxygenated
Describe the anatomic position of the valves.
Tricuspid: bet RA and RV
Mitral/bicuspid: bet LA and LV
Aortic: bet LV and aorta
Pulmonary: bet RV and Pul A
Your fight or flight system is _______; your rest and digest system is _____
sympathetic; parasympathetic
Veins bring blood ______; arteries bring blood ____

Will display in class / see powerpoint
What is heart rate? Where can it be measured?
Your pulse or beats per minute. Can be measured at a few places but the most practical is the radial artery on the anterior lateral side of the wrist.
What is the function of the cerebellum?
Motor coordination
The "lub dub" sounds heart on a stethoscope are a sign of:
valves closing
What does a heart murmur most likely indicate?
Improper valve closure
Aortic stenosis could cause what in the long term?
Increases the work your left ventricle has to do. Can lead to left ventricular hypertrophy (not healthy).
Describe a function of the following: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe
Frontal: personality and motor skills
Temporal: memory, emotion, process language
Occipital: vision
Parietal: most of our senses
Your heart is about the size of your fist. However, two main reasons exist as to why it can be larger. What are they?
Trained endurance athlete or a condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (unknown cause)
What is the role of the pons and medulla oblongata?
Help control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and sleep wake cycle.
If you had left sided heart failure, where would blood back up?
The lungs
Opioids act on neurotransmitters in our body known as endorphins. What is the purpose of endorphins? How do opioids act on endorphins? How do opioids lead to addiction?
Endorphins: naturally occurring neurotransmitter in the body that exists to dampen pain signal from injury
Opioids mimic endorphins by acting on the same receptor they do. However, they flood and overstimulate those receptors. After this, your body becomes dependent as it can no longer receive pleasure from naturally occurring endorphins.
Come up to the board. Draw the heart and all relevant arteries and veins. Then, describe the blood flow.
Drawing will be on board. Must mention RA/RV, LA/LV, aorta, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, SVC/IVC
What are the locations of the following valves:
Tricuspid
bicuspid/mitral
aortic
pulmonary
Tricuspid: bet. RA and RV
bicuspid/mitral: bet. LA and LV
aortic: bet. LV and aorta
pulmonary: bet. RV and pulmonary artery
R sided heart failure
