Term
What are the differents between the cardiac and skeletal muscles? |
|
Definition
- Cardiac muscle cells are interconnected by speciallzed junctions- Intercalated discs
- Involuntary- Pace can be changed through autonomic nervous sustem activity.
- Circulatory supply is more extensive
- Connected by gap junctions
- Totally dependent on aerobic respiration for energy supply. |

|
Term
What is the Superior vina cava? |
|
Definition

|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
What is the internal anatomy of the right ventricle? |
|
Definition
- Right atrivenricular valve (Tricuspld valve).
-- 3 fibrous flaps (cusps)
-Chordea tendiease
- Papillaru muscle
- Pulmonary semilunar valve
--3 semilunar cusps |
|
|
Term
What is Chordea tendinese? |
|
Definition
- Bundles of collagen fibers.
- Limit cusps movement, precents backflow of blood. |
|
|
Term
What is Papillary Muscle? |
|
Definition
- Cone-shaped muscular projections of the inner centricular suface. |
|
|
Term
What is the internal anatomy of the left atrium? |
|
Definition
- Four pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left artrium.
- Left atrioventricular valve (Bicuspid valve or Mitral valve)
-- 2 fibrous cusps |
|
|
Term
What is internal anatomy of the left ventricle? |
|
Definition
- The thickest wall of any chamber
- Pumps blood through the systemic circuit
- 2 large papillary muscles where the chordae tendineae.
- Aortic semilunar valve.
-- Prevents the backflow of blood into the left ventricle.
- Interventricular septum. |
|
|
Term
What is the Path of blood flow through the heart? |
|
Definition
1) Superior/ inferior vena cava
2) Right atrium
-Tricuspid
3) Right ventricle
