Increase

Sympathetic innervation has what effect on the heart beat?

Increases

1. S.A. node fires A.P. 2. A.P. reaches a.v. node, via gap junctions. 3. A.P. is delayed at a.v. node. 4. A.P. travels down the bundle branches. 5. A.P. travels up purkinje fibers.

Pericardial cavity

Inflammation of the pericardium

Pericarditis

Circulation that moves deoxygenated blood

Pulmonary

Cardiovascular system consists of 2 circulations:

Prevents back flow of blood into right ventricle

Pulmonary semilunar

Semilunar valve between the right ventricle, and the pulmonary trunk.

Pulmonary semilunar valve

Drain blood into left atrium

Pulmonary veins

Arterial systole, results in arterial contraction. Which causes:

Pushes blood into ventricles; compresses the openings of the great veins.

During what period can cardiac muscles not be restimulated?:

Refractory

The _______ atrium, has openings from: inferior and superior vena cava, and coronary sinus.

Right

S.A. NODE

Internal wall surface of each ventricle displays characteristic: large, smooth, and irregular muscular ridges, called:

Trabeculae carneae

Right a.v. valve is also called the

Tricuspid

The main parasympathetic nerves that regulate heart rate:

Vagus nerves

Inferior chambers for pumping blood away from the heart

Ventricles

Composed of simple squamous epithelium, and underlying delicate layer of areolar connective tissue. This serosal layer adheres directly to the heart.

Visceral layer of the serous pericardium

The innervation by autonomic centers in the brainstem, doesn't initiate a heartbeat; but it can increase, or decrease the rate of the beat. Is this true?

Yes

The greater the ______________, the more difficult it is to eject blood from the heart, and the lower the stroke volume will be.

Afterload

The resistance in the arteries to blood ejection from the ventricles.

Afterload

The largest systemic artery in the body:

Aorta

Prevents back flow of blood into left ventricle

Aortic semilunar

Semilunar valve between the left ventricle and aorta

Aortic semilunar valve

Ventricles pump blood into:

Arterial trunk

Blood flow into the atria from the veins is restricted; ventricles have reached their EDV; S.A. node initiates arterial contraction, are all events that takes place during what phase of the cardiac cycle?:

Atrial contraction and ventricular filling phase

Oxygenated blood flows from the left atrium, through the left _________ __________, when the valve is open, into the left ventricle.

Atrioventricular opening

Superior chambers for receiving blood

Atriums

The anterior part of Rachel atrium has has a wrinkled, flap like extension, that resemble ears, called:

Auricles

What nervous system influences the heart rate?:

Autonomic

Right side of heart, to the lungs; to the left side of the heart, to systemic cells of the body; back to the right side. Is what basic pattern?:

Basic pattern of blood flow

Left a.v. valve is also called the

Bicuspid or mitral valve

During the final stage of the cardiac cycle: as the atria relax, and blood returns to fill the ventricle, what 2 valves open?

Bicuspid, and tricuspid

Attached to the inferior diaphram, composed of tough, sense irregular connective tissue that encloses the heart, but does not attach directly to it.

Fibrous pericardium

N.a. + leak channels, fast voltage gated c.a. 2 + channels, slow voltage gated n.a. + channels, and n.a. + /k + a.t.pase are all associated with:

Cardiac node cells

The amount of blood pumped by one ventricle:

Cardiac output

An individual with a weak heart may have limitations exerting themselves, because they have little:

Cardiac reserve

Inotropic agents increase stroke volume by increasing :

Contractility, and C.a. 2 + levels

Delivers oxygen rich blood to the thick heart wall.

Coronary arteries

Supplies oxygenated blood to the muscles and other tissues of the heart, and drains deoxygenated blood from these tissues. Flows easily when heart is relaxed, inhibited when heart contracts.

Coronary circulation

Carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart wall.

Coronary veins

Parasympathetic cardioinhibitory center _______ heart rate.

Decreases

The amount of blood left in the ventricles, at the end of the ventricular contraction.
