Term
What is the circuit called that goes into the lungs?
Definition
Pulmonary circuit
Term
What is the circuit the goes into the body?
Definition
Systemic circuit
Term
What is the name of the valve going from the right ventricle to the pulmonary trunk?
Definition
Pulmonary semilunar valve
Term
What is the name of the valve going from the left ventricle into the aorta?
Definition
Aortic Valve
Term
What is the name of the fibers that connect the AV valves to the papillary muscles?
Definition
Cordae Tendineae
Term
What is the name of the muscles in the Ventricles that Cordae Tendineae attach to?
Definition
Papillary Muscles
Term
Atria:Pectinate Muscles::Ventricles:_____________
Definition
Trabeculae
Term
The name of the ridged muscles on the walls of the ventricles?
Definition
Trabeculae
Term
What are RBCs doing in the lungs before traveling through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium?
Definition
Droping off CO2, picking up O2
Term
How many pulmonary veins go into the left atrium?
Definition
4 (2 per lung)
Term
What is the opening of valves (either AV or semilunar) called?
Definition
Systole
Term
What is the closing of valves (either AV or semilunar) called?
Definition
Diatole
Term
What does "infarct" mean?
Definition
dead cardiac muscles
Term
What causes an MI?
Definition
Plaque build up in the coronary
Term
What is a fix for a blocked coronary?
Definition
Stint and lifestyle changes
Term
Where is the great cardiac vein located?
Definition
Anterior portion of left side of the heart
Term
Where is the small cardiac vein located?
Definition
Anterior, right side of heart
Term
What is the main difference between the small cardiac vein and great cardiac vein?
Definition
Great cardiac vein is on the side of the heart with the left ventricle, that works harder and therefor, has a greater need for gas exchange, the side with the small cardiac vein is just the opposite.
Term
where is the right marginal vein located?
Definition
Right side, branching inferiorly off of the small cardiac vein.
Term
Where is the middle cardial vein located?
Definition
posterior portion of heart branching inferiorly to the left off of the coronary sinus.
Term
How is O2/CO2 exchanged between tissues and RBCs?
Definition
Diffusion, the gases follow the concentration gradient
Term
Why do bodies need O2?
Definition
Mitochondria need it for cellular respiration in order to produce ATP, which powers everything in the body.
Term
Where does the myocardium receive it's O2?
Definition
From coronary circulation
Term
What do cardiac valves (either AV or Semilunar) open in response to?
Definition
Changes in blood pressure
Term
Why does the right ventricle have less muscle mass than the left ventricle?
Definition
The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circuit, while the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circuit, the blood in the systemic circuit has further to travel and therefor requires more force.
Term
Where is the posterior interventricular artery located?
Definition
posterior portion of the heart, a continuation of the right marginal artery
Term
Where is the right marginal artery?
Definition
A continuation of the right coronary on the right side of the heart.
Term
What two arteries are located on the left side of the body?
Definition
interventricular and circumflex
