A hallow, muscular organ about the size of a closed fist
Heart
Organs that have a small or narrow cavity or lumen inside them
Heart
Between the lungs in the space, behind and to the left of the sternum
Mediastinum
The heart extend vertically in the area from
Second to the fifth intercostal space
The left border align with the
Left midclavicular line
The anterior chest area that overlies the heart and the great vessels
Precordium
Pumps blood to the lungs for gas exchange by removing CO2 from blood and replenishing Oxygen supply
Right side (heart)
Pumps blood to all parts of the body( systematic circulation)
Left side (Heart)
Great vessel leading directly to from the heart
Veins
Great vessel leading directly away from the heart
Arteries
Return blood to the right atrium from upper and lower torso
Inferior and Superior Vena Cava
Exits the right ventricle, bifurcates(splitting), and carries blood to the lungs
Pulmonary Artery
Return oxygenated blood to the left atrium
Four pulmonary veins
Transport Oxygenated Blood from the left ventricle to the body
Aorta
Upper chamber of the heart
L&R Atria
Lower chamber of the heart
L&R ventricles
A partition that separated the R&L side of the heart
Septum
Received blood returning to the heart and pump blood into the ventricles
Thin-Walled Atria
Pump blood out of the heart
Thicker walled ventricles
The left ventricles is thicker than the right ventricles because
The left side of the heart has a greater workload
The entrance and exit of each ventricles are protected by_ that direct the flow of blood through the heart
One way valves
Located at the entrance to the ventricles
Atrioventricular (AV) valve
2 Av Valves
Tricuspid valve, Mitral Valve
Located between the R atrium and R ventricle
Tricuspid Valve
Located between the L atrium and L ventricle
Mitral Valve (bicuspid)
Located at the exist of each ventricles at the beggining of tge great vessels
Semilunar valve
What are the 2 semilunar valve
Pumonary Valve, Aortic Valve
Located at the entrance of the pulmonary artery as its exits the right ventricle
Pulmonic Valve
Located at the beginning of the ascending aorta as it exits the left ventricle
Aortic valve
Is a tough, inextensible, loosing-fitting, fibroserous sac that attaches to the great vessel and surrounds the heart
Pericardium
Serous membrane lining secrets a small of pericardial fluid that allows for smooth, friction-free movement of the heart
Parietal Pericardium
Covers the outer surface of the heart
Epicardium
Thickest layer of the heart, made up of contractile cardiac muscle cells
Myocardium
Innermost layer of the heart
Endocardium
What are the heart covering and walls
Pericardium
Parietal pericardium
Epicardium
Myocardium
Endocardium
They can spontaneously generate electrical impulse and conduct it through the heart
Cardiac Muscle cells
Specify the pathways of heart's conductive system
SA node
Bachmann's bundle and internodal pathways
Atrioventricular node
Ventricles
Bundle of His
R&L bundle branches
Purkinje fibers
Heart Peacemaker
SA node
Generation and conduction of electrical impulse by a specialized section of the Myocardium regulate the events associated with the filling and emptying of the catdiac chamber
