  • What circuit is supplied by the right side side of the heart and carries blood to lungs for gas exchange, then blood does back to the heart?
    Pulmonary circuit
  • What circuit supplied by the left side of the heart and supplies oxygenated blood to all tissues of the body, then blood is returned back to the heart?
    Systemic circuit
  • What side of the heart has deoxygenated blood that arrives in the heart from the inferior and superior vena cava.
    right
  • What side of the heart contains fully oxygenated blood that arrives from the lungs via the pulmonary veins. Blood is sent to all organs of the body via aorta.
    Left
  • Heart is in the (Blank)?
    Mediastinum
  • Region extends from the sternum to diagram and between the lungs?
    Mediastinum
  • A double walled sac that surrounds the heart?
    Pericardium
  • What layer allows heart to beat without friction, provides the space needed to expand, but resists over overexpansion?
    Pericardium
  • What layer is anchored to diaphragm inferiorly and sternum anteriorly?
    Pericardium
  • What's the hearts outermost layer called?
    Fibrous Pericardium
  • What is the hearts serous layer inside the fibrous pericardium?
    Parietal Pericardium
  • What is the hearts serous membrane that covering the surface of the heart?
    Visceral Pericardium
  • What is the space between the parietal and visceral pericardium?
    Pericardial Cavity.
  • What allows the heart to resists friction/rubbing when it contracts so there will be no tissue breakdown?
    Pericardial Fluid
  • What is the serous membrane that covers the heart and fat forms a thick layer in some places of the epicardium and coronary blood vessels move through this layer?
    Epicardium (visceral pericardium)
  • What is the layer of cardiac muscle, with changes in thickness depending on workload and muscle spirals around the heart which produces a wringing motion?
    Myocardium
  • What is the framework of collagen and elastic fibers, provides attachment for cardiac muscle and anchor for valve tissue, and electrical insulation between atria and ventricles?
    Fibrous Skeleton of the heart.
  • What component of the heart is very important in timing and coordination of heart contraction?
    Fibrous skeleton.
  • What is the layer of smooth inner lining of the heart and blood vessels that enter and exit the heart, covers the valve surfaces and is continuous with endocardium of blood vessels?
    Endocardium
  • What chambers are superior, right and left atria, and receive blood returning to the heart?
    Upper (superior) chambers
  • What chambers are the right and left ventricles, pump blood into arteries?
    Lower (inferior) chambers.
  • What is a muscular wall that separates the right and left ventricles?
    Interventricular Septum
  • What allows for a one-way flow of blood through the heart?
    Valves
  • What controls the blood flow between the atria and ventricles?
    Atrioventricular (AV) Valves
  • What's the name of the right AV valve, which has three cusps?
    Tricuspid Valve
  • What's the name of the left AV valve, which has two cusps?
    Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve
  • What are cords that connect AV valves to papillary muscles on the floor of ventricles and prevent AV valves from flipping into the atrium when ventricles contract?
    Chordae Tendineae
  • What controls the flow of blood into arteries, open and close because of blood flow and pressure?
    Semilunar Valves
  • What is the opening between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk?
    Pulmonary Semilunar Valve
  • What is the opening between the left ventricle and the aorta?
    Aortic Semilunar Valve
  • What atrium receives deoxygenated blood from superior vena cava, inferior vena cava and coronary sinus?
    Right Atrium
  • What carries blood toward the heart?
    Veins
  • What valve allows blood to pass between the right atrium to the right ventricle?
    Tricuspid (Right Atrioventricular) Valve
  • What ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium?
    Right Ventricle
  • Deoxygenated blood leaves the right ventricle through what valve?
    Pulmonary (semilunar) Valve
  • Deoxygenated blood goes through the pulmonary truck, which divides into the right and left what?
    Arteries
  • Do arteries or veins carry blood to the lungs?
    arteries
  • What takes blood away from the heart?
    arteries
  • What atrium receives oxygenated blood from lungs from four pulmonary veins?
    Left atrium
  • What valve allows oxygenated blood from the left atrium to be passed to the left ventricles?
    Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve
