Anatomy of the Heart
100
Name the 3 layers of the heart wall.
What is 1) Epicardium 2) Myocardium & 3) Endocardium?
100
These tubes transport blood away from the heart.
What are Arteries?
100
This is the maximum arterial pressure.
What is Systolic Pressure?
100
This receives the impulse from the AV node and is the connection between the atria and ventricles.
What is the Bundle of His?
100
This chamber receives blood from the pulmonary veins.
What is the Left Atrium?
200
These muscles control the valves in the heart.
What are the Papillary Muscles?
200
List the blood vessels in order of blood flow through the body starting from the heart.
What are Arteries, Arterioles, Capillaries, Venules, & Veins?
200
What is the average blood pressure?
What is 120/80?
200
This is known as the pacemaker of the heart.
What is the Sinoatrial (SA) Node?
200
This muscular wall separates the right and left sides of the heart.
What is the Interventricular Septum?
300
This valve is located between the left ventricle and the left atrium.
What is the Bicuspid Valve?
300
This is the place where blood releases oxygen while, at the same time, receiving CO2.
What are Capillaries?
300
This piece of equipment, aka BP cuff, is used to measure blood pressure.
What is a Sphygmomanometer?
300
This term defines a relaxation of a chamber of the heart.
What is Diastole?
300
Blood flows from the superior and inferior vena cava into this structure.
What is the Right Atrium?
400
These fibrous strands fasten papillary muscles to the AV valves.
What is Chordae Tendineae?
400
The opening of the coronary sinuses lies near the posterior edge of the interatrial septum. From the fifth week of embryonic development until birth, this "oval" opening penetrates the interatrial septum and connects the two atria of the fetal heart.
What is the Foramen Ovale?
400
When your body temperature rises, your blood vessels dilate to release heat. As a result, your blood pressure will do this.
What is decrease?
400
When the ventricles contract, which valves are open?
What are the Aortic & Pulmonary Valves?
400
This is the main blood vessel that supplies blood to the heart.
What is the Coronary Artery?
500
Adjacent to each cusp of the aortic valve are sac-like dilations of the base of the ascending aorta. These sacs prevent the individual cusps from sticking to the wall of the aorta when the valve opens.
What are Aortic Sinuses?
500
This deep groove marks the border between the atria and the ventricles.
What is the Coronary Sulcus?
500
Define Cardiac Output.
What is the amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle in one minute?
500
This wave of an ECG happens during ventricular depolarization.
What is the QRS complex?
500
Blood flows from the left atrium to where?
What is through the Bicuspid Valve to the Left Ventricle?
