| What is the brachial pulse? | The beating or throbbing felt over the brachial artery, usually palpated in the antecubital space |
| What is the apical pulse? | A method of determining heart rate by placing the stethoscope over the apex of the heart |

| Define Anatomy | The structure of the body of humans, animals, and other living organisms. |
| Define Physiology | The functions of the body parts of living organisms. |
| Which of the 3 layers of the heart contracts and relaxes with each heart beat? | The myocardium (the middle layer) |
| What is the double layered sac that surrounds the heart? | The pericardium |
| What is contained in the Pericardium? | The pericardial sac has two layers, a serous layer and a fibrous layer. It encloses the pericardial cavity which contains pericardial fluid |
| Why is the myocardial layer different on the right and left side? | The blood on the left side of the heart is getting pumped around the whole body so the Myocardial has to be thicker, whereas the blood on the right side is only getting pumped to and from the lungs which are very close to the heart. |
| What is the major difference between the right and left ventricles. | Right ventricles pump blood to the pulmonary system. Left ventricles pump blood to the systemic circuit. |
| What structures control the flow of blood through the heart? What are thee 4 names? | Valves make a one directional blood flow. 2 Atrioventricular = tricuspid valve and mitral valve 2 Semi lunar = the aortic valve and pulmonary valve |
| What is the Systemic circulatory system? | Heart to/from body Carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. |
| What is the Pulmonary circulatory system? | Heart to/from lungs Carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood back to the heart. |
| What 4 characteristics distinguish cardiac muscle cells from skeletal muscle cells? | Cardiac muscle: 1. Is small in size 2. Has a single centrally locates nucleus 3. Has branching interconnections between cells 4. Has intercalated disks |
| Cardiac cells are interconnected by ... (what)? | Intercalated discs |
| What are the Atria separated by? | Interatrial Septum |
| What are the ventricles separated by? | Interventricular Septum |
| Describe the processes within the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava | The superior Vena Cava deliver blood from the head, neck, check and upper limbs to the Right atrium. The inferior Vena Cava deliver blood from the rest of the trunk, the viscera and the lower limbs to the Right atrium. |
| Describe the process within the Right Atrium | The Right Atrium receives blood from the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava which is then transferred to the Right Ventricle through the Tricuspid valve. |
| Describe the process within the Right Ventricle | Blood in the Right Ventricle has been received from the Right Atrium through the Ticuspid valve. The superior of the Right Ventricle has the Conus Arteriosus that ends at the Pulmonary valve that controls the movement of blood to the Pulmonary Trunk. |
| Describe the Tricuspid Valve, the process, and why it is called 'Tri' cuspid | The Tricuspid valve is the Right Atrioventricular valve with 3 fibrous flaps. When the Right Ventricle contracts the Tricuspid Valve shuts preventing a back flow of blood into the Right Atrium. |
| Describe the Pulmonary Valve | Consists of 3 semi-lunar cusps of thick connective tissue. Blood travelling from the Right Ventricle passes through this Valve into the Pulmonary Trunk - Which is the start of the Pulmonary circuit. |
| Describe the process within the Pulmonary Trunk | This is the beginning of the Pulmonary Circuit, the blood has just traveled from the Right Ventricle through the Pulmonary Valve and the blood will now flow from the Pulmonary trunk into the Left and Right Pulmonary Arteries which send blood to the lungs. |
| What is the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle called? (1) | Diastole |
| What is the inferior point of the heart called? | The apex |
| Is the heart actually 1, 2 or 3 pumps? | 2 |
| Which chamber receives blood from the pulmonary veins? | Left atrium |
| Which chamber receives blood from the superior and inferior Vena Cava? | Right atrium |
| Which chamber pumps deoxygenated blood out of the pulmonary trunk? | Right ventricle |
| Which chamber pumps oxygenated blood out of the aorta to the systemic circuit? | Left Ventricle |
| Where is the normal pacemaker of the heart located? | The sinoatrial node |
| Where does blood returning to the heart from the pulmonary circuit first enter? | The left atrium |
| What is the epicardium also known as? | The visceral pericardium |
| Which part of the conduction system initiates the depolarizing impulse, which spreads throughout the heart? | SA node |
| What does the ECG wave tracing represent? | Electrical activity in the heart |
| What does the QRS complex represent? | Ventricular depolarization |
| Contradiction of the atria results from which wave of depolarization on the ECG? | P wave |
| Which part of the intrinsic conduction system delays the impulse briefly before it moves onto the ventricles? | AV node |
| The __________ valve prevents back-flow of blood into the left ventricle. | Aortic |
| With each ventricular systole blood pressure _________? | Increases |
| During the T wave pf the ECG the ventricles are _________? | Both repolarizing and relaxing |
| Blood returning to the heart from the systemic circuit first enters the _________? | Vena Cava and Right atrium |
| What is the property of the heart muscle to contact in the absence of neural or hormonal stimulation called? | Automaticity |
| In cardiac muscle what is the fast depolarization phase of the action potential a result of? | Increased membrane permeability to sodium ions |
| What is the adult heart roughly the size of? | A males clenched fist |
