Made up of simple squamous epithelial tissue, inside the heart that coats valves and chambers | Endocardium |
The muscle wall, when given a % capacity, this is the amount of muscle left that is viable. In atrium is smaller and in the ventricles is bigger. | Myocardium |
Damage to this muscle of the heart is called: | Myocardial Infarction |
Serous membrane sac that surrounds the heart and divides it in half | Pericardium or Serous pericardium |
Outermost layer of the heart proper. Is a thin membrane. | Visceral pericardium or Epicardium |
Holds pericardial fluid, which functions to reduce friction during beating, so the heart does not erode. | Pericardial Cavity |
Outermost layer of the sac, separates heart from the rest of the cavity. Attaches to top of the diaphragm. | Fibrous Pericardium |
Is created by the pericardial sac. | Mediastinum |
Spaces in the heart | Chambers |

Chamber divisions: | Upper and Lower |
Types of valves: | Tricuspid, Bicuspid (Mitral), Pulmonary Valve, Aortic Valve |
Brings deoxygenated blood to the heart from the head, neck, upper extremities and top half of thoracic cavity and drains the blood into the right atrium. | Superior Vena Cava |
Brings blood to the heart from the legs, lower extremities and lower half of the thoracic cavity. | Inferior Vena Cava |
Carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the pulmonary arteries that lead to each lung. | Pulmonary Trunk |
Carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. | Aortic Arch |
Atricular valve on the right side of the heart. Has 3 flaps called chordae tendinae, which keeps the valves from snapping back & from causing backflow by closing the valve. Anchors to papillary muscles. | Tricuspid Valve |
Valve on the left side, has 2 flaps, blood returning to lungs. | Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve |
Valve which has 3 flaps, which are half-mooned shape. Names after where the blood is going. Is going to the lungs. | Pulmonary Valves |
Has a flap that opens and closes, keeps the blood flowing in one direction. | Valve |
Known as big vessels | Trunk |
Volume of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute. Is efficiency and speed | Cardiac Output |
Cardiac Output is made up of: | Diastole and Systole |
Sound of relaxation | Diastole |
Sound of contraction, moving blood to its destination | Systole |
A defect in how the valves open and close | Heart Murmur |
Amount of blood ejected from the ventricle with each beat. Efficiency is reduced. | Stroke Volume |
The speed at which the heart beats | Heart Value |
CO=HRxSV (Blood Pressure) | Cardiac Output Equation |
Classifications of Heart Disease | Endocarditis, Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Congenital Heart Disease, Rheumatic Heart Disease, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Heart Failure |
Inflammation of the lining of the heart | Endocarditis |
Inflammation of the muscle of the heart | Myocarditis |
Inflammation of the sac. Can burn off fluid in the sac, causing chest pains | Pericarditis |
Problems with the heart that started at birth | Congenital Heart Disease |
Brought on by Rheumatic fever, which created scar tissue over the heart values | Rheumatic Heart Disease |
Involves the formation of plaque along the vessel walls | CAD or Coronary Artery Disease |
The inability of the heart to pump enough blood to sustain normal bodily functions | Heart Failure |
Risk factors of heart disease that CANNOT be modified | Age, Body Type, Heredity, Gender |
Risk factors of heart disease that CAN be modified | Smoking, Physical activity, blood pressure, diet, weight, diabetes & gout |
Cardiac conduction system | 1. Synoatrial node (SA Node) 2. Atrial Ventricular Node (AV Node) 3. Atrial Ventricular Bundle or Bundle of His 4. Purkinje Fibers |
Pacemaker | Synoatrial node (SA Node) |
Little cluster of nervous tissue between atrium & ventricles. Located in inner atrial septum. Functions to delay the impulse, so the atria can drain completely before the ventricles contract. | Atrial Ventricular Node (AV Node |
Runs along the inner ventricular septum on either side & everything terminates at the Purkinje Fibers | Atrial Ventricular Bundle or Bundle of His |
Permeates each end of the myocardial cell, so they contract at the same time | Purkinje Fibers |
Heart measurements | p-wave, t-wave, QRS |
Depolarization of the atria | p-wave |
Repolarization of the ventricles | t-wave |
Depolarization of the ventricles | QRS |
Blood vessels or vascularization of tissues | Arteries, Arterioles, Capillaries, Venules, Veins |
Large vessels that carry blood away from the heart toward tissues. | Arteries |
Smaller vessels that carry blood away from the heart toward tissues. | Arterioles |
Tiny, thin walled vessels that allow exchanges from the vessels to & from the tissues | Capillaries |
Smaller vessels that carry blood toward the heart from the tissues. | Venules |
Large vessels that carry blood toward the heart from the tissues. Have one-way directional flow with valves that shut down to keep blood flow in one direction. | Veins |
Lines blood vessels | Tunica Interna |
Gives elasticity to the artery. Gives the ability to relax & contract in conjunction with pressure from fluid of the heart. | Tunica Media |
The outer layer of blood vessels | Tunca Externa |
