What is the function of the cardiovascular system?
|
To maintain blood pressure in the arteries and blood flow (perfusion) to the tissues, delivering oxygen, transporting hormonal messages and picking up waste products. The heart is the pump for this system.
|
|
What is the high pressure circulation system that delivers oxygenated blood to the body, returns deoxygenated blood to the heart?
|
Systemic Circulation
|
|
What is the low pressure circulation system, that delivers deoxygenated blood to lungs, returns oxygenated blood to the heart?
|
Pulmonary Circulation
|
|
What is the circulation system that is a separate blood supply system to the heart muscle itself?
|
Coronary Circulation.

|
What are the Cardiovascular functions?
|
Maintain normal blood pressure within arteries.
Maintain blood flow to tissues. Maintain normal blood pressure within capillaries and veins. Maintain these funections in rest and in work. |
|
What is Tissue Perfusion?
|
Delivery of O2 and nutrients to tissues.
Removal of waste products. Transport of hormonal messages from one part of the body to another. |
|
What is the force exerted by the blood against the inner walls of the blood vessels?
|
Blood Pressure
(Typically refers to systemic blood pressure) |
|
What is the maximum pressure achieved during ventricular contraction?
|
Systolic Blood Pressure
|
|
What is the lowest pressure that remains in the arteries when the ventricles are relaxing?
|
Diastolic Blood Pressure
|
|
What is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure called?

|
Cardiac Notch

|
What is the thin membranous lining layer of the inner chambers of the heart - the ventricles and atria are called?
|
Endocardium
|
|
The Fibrous Skeleton of the heart does what?
|
Seperates the heart into atrial and ventricular areas.
Tissue does not conduct electrical impulses. Serves as an anchor for the atrioventricular valves. |
|
What does auscultation mean?
|
Listening
|

If the fetal hole between the atria fails to close what is the defect called?
|
Atrial Septal Birth Defect
|
|
What delivers venous blood from the coronary circulatory system into the atrium?
|
Coronary Sinus
|

Right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the?
|
low pressure pulmonary circulation.
|
|
What band runs from the interventricular septum to the free wall?
|
Moderator band
|
|
What prevents blood from flowing retrograde into the right atrium with ventricular contraction?
|
Tricuspid
Right Atrioventricular Valve (AV Valve) |
|
What prevents blood from flowing retrograde from pulmonary artery back into right ventricle?
|
Semilunar valve
(Pulmonic Valve) |
|
What prevents backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the atrium?
|
Mitral Valve
Left Atrioventricular Valve (AV Valve) |
|
Which ventricle is a high pressure system with walls 2 to 3 times thicker and no moderator band?
|

Know for Exam
Know the three cardiovascular systems Be able to label the 4 chambers and valves of the heart Which arteries carry deoxygenated blood? Trace the flow of blood through the heart and label each part |
Do I know these?
|
|
What creates the first S1 "Lub" sound?
|
Closure of the AV valves creates the first heart sound.
|
|
What is the term for the amount of blood leaving the heart?
|
Cardiac Output

|
What is the specialized area of cardiac muscle in the right atrium (Pacemaker) that spontaneously depolarizes?
|
Sinoatrial (SA) node
|
|
When the Sinoatrial (SA) node spontaneously depolarizes a wave of depolarization takes two routes! What are they?
|
1. AV node via conductive fibers. (Highway Route)
2. Across Both Atrial Myocardium to Stimulate Arterial Contraction - Slower local route - Via cell to cell interaction - Stoped by the fibrous skeleton at the bottom of the atria. |
