Posterior intercostals 1-2 branch from... | subclavian artery |
Subcostal artery runs inferior to __ and branches from ____ | 12th rib, aorta |
The right lung has __ lobes | 3 |
The left lung has __ lobes | 2 |
Bronchial arteries | branch from aorta and bring O2 blood to lungs |
Pulmonary veins return ___ blood to __ | oxygenated blood to the L artium |
Alveoli | sacs of gas exchange (surrounded by capillary bed) |
Pleura | tissue to reduce friction of lungs on thoracic wall |
Coronary sulcus / atrioventricular groove | groove that separates atria from ventricles |
What travels along the coronary sulcus? | R/L coronary arteries |
Superior vena cava receives blood from... | head, neck, UE, upper thorax |
Inferior vena cava receives blood from... | lower thorax, and everything inferior to the diaphram |
The coronary sinus brings deoxygenated blood from ___ to ____ | from myocardium to the R atrium |
Pulmonary circuit (pathway) | blood of body -> R atrium -> tricuspid valve -> R vent -> pulmonary semilunar valve -> pulmonary artery -> lungs -> O2 blood -> pulmonary veins (4) -> L atrium |
Systemic circuit (pathway) | O2 blood -> L atrium -> bicuspid/mitral valve -> L vent -> aorta -> body |
BP of systemic circuit vs pulmonary circuit | systemic BP > pulmonary circuit |
Angina pectoris | temp. deficiency in b supply to myocardium (exercise/stress induced) -> chest pain |
Myocardial infarction (MI) | prolonged blockage of blood flow (ischemia) -> cardiac muscle cells die |
Tricuspid valve lies b/w | R atrium and R vent |
Bicuspid/mitral valve lies b/w | L atrium and L vent |
Chordae tendinae | CT attaching papillary muscles to cusps |
Chordae tendinae prevent.. | prolapse (of valves) |
The atrioventricular valves are open during __ | diastole |
Diastole | heart relaxes b/w beats, blood enters atria and ventricles, SL valves close from backflow (S2) |
Systole | heart contraction = atria contract -> vent contracts + AV valves close (S1) -> force blood into pulmonary artery + aorta |
The pulmonary valves lies between... | R vent and the pulmonary artery |
The aortic valve lies between... | L vent and the aorta |
Fibrous pericardium prevents | over-stretching of the heart |
Heart depolarization (pathway) | SA node -> AV node -> AV bundle -> R/L bundle branches -> purkinje fibers |
Intrinsic rate of SA node, AV node, and Purkinje fibers | SA: 75-100 bpm, AV: 50 bpm, Purkinje: 30 bpm |
Pacemaker cells | SA node, AV node, Purkinje fibers |
P wave | depolarization wave from SA to AV |
P wave causes | atrial contraction |
QRS wave | depolarization wave of ventricles |
QRS wave causes | ventricular contraction |
T wave | ventricular repolarization |
S1 (heart sound) | closure of AV valves (beginning of systole) |
S2 (heart sound) | closure of SL valves (beginning of diastole) |
Stenotic murmur | valve of decreased diameter -> turbulent flow |
Regurgitation murmur | valve does not close completely |
Cardiac output (CO) | volume of blood pumped (by each ventricle) per minute |
CO = | HR x SV (stroke volume) |
Stroke volume (SV) | volume of blood pumped per beat |
Ventricle ejects about __% of blood it contains | 60% |
