As blood is pumped by the ventricles into the arterial trunks, it pushes against the cusps, forcing the semilunar valves to ______.

open

semilunar valves

open from force of blood when the ventricle contracts and blood enters the arterial trunks close when ventricles relax and pressure of ventricle becomes less than pressure of arterial trunk; blood moves back toward the ventricle and is caught in the three cusps of the valve -closure prevents backflow of blood into the ventricle

The systemic circulation includes the movement of ______ blood through the left side of the heart.

oxygenated

The posterior atrial wall is smooth, but the auricle and anterior wall exhibit obvious muscular ridges, called ______.

pectinate muscles

3 layers of the heart

pericardium, myocardium, endocardium

small cardiac vein

positioned alongside the right marginal artery

pericardial cavity

potential space between the parietal and visceral pericardium that contains serous fluid

Desmosomes

protein filaments that anchor into a protein plaque located on the sarcolemma act as mechanical junctions to prevent cardiac muscle cells from pulling apart

gap junctions

protein pores between adjacent sarcolemma provide pathway for flow of ions between cardiac cells allow an action potential to move along sarcolemma to stimulate simultaneous activation of cardiac cells within a chamber to cause synchronous contraction of that chamber

fibrous skeleton functions

provides structural support anchors heart valves provides framework for attachment of cardiac muscle tissue acts as an electric insulator to prevent atria and ventricles from contracting at the same time

right ventricle

pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery

left ventricle

pumps oxygenated blood to the body out of the aorta

thin-walled, smaller chamber that receives blood from the vena cavae or pulmonary veins

general function of cardiovascular system

to circulate blood throughout the body to meet the changing needs of body cells it provides mechanism for transport of nutrients, waste products, respiratory gases and cells

serous pericardium

two layers: parietal layer and visceral layer

venae cavae

vein that returns deoxygenated blood from the systemic cells of body to right atrium

how do the semilunar valves prevent backflow?

when blood enters the pockets of the valves, it causes the cusps to fill and expand and meet at the artery center

left AV valve

(mitral) located between the left atrium and left ventricle bicuspid

pulmonary circulation

**movement of blood to and from the lungs** deoxygenated blood is transported from right side of heart through blood vessels to the lungs where gas exchange occurs (O2 moves into blood from alveoli, CO2 out of blood into alveoli) the now oxygenated blood is then transported through blood vessels to left side of the heart

systemic circulation

**movement of blood to and from the systemic cells** oxygenated blood is transported from the left side of the heart through blood vessels to the systemic cells where gas exchange occurs (O2 out of blood into cells, CO2 into blood out of cells) the now deoxygenated blood is then transported through blood vessels to the right side of the heart

AV valves

-between atria and ventricles -function to prevent backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria -open due to pressure from blood!! -when open, cusps of valves extend into the ventricles allowing blood to move from atrium to ventricle -when ventricles contract, blood is forced superiorly as the pressure rises, causing the AV valves to close -chordae tendinae & papillary muscles prevent valve from inverting when it is closed
