Definition
The heart and great vessels are located between the lungs in the middle third of the thoracic cage (mediastinum
Term
which intercostal spaces does the heart lie beneath?
Definition
2nd to 5th intercostal space
Term
Describe the path of the blood through the heart and body, starting from the systemic veins.
Definition
systemic viens, right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary arteries, lungs, pulmonary vien, left atrium, left ventricle, aorta, systemic arteries and back to the systemic viens.
Term
3 layers of the heart wall
Definition
pericardium (outter lining), myocardium (middle.. heart muscle), endocardium (inner lining)
Term
What is the septum
Definition
it seperates the left and right sides of the heart.
Term
name the 2 atrioventricular valves
Definition
tricuspid, mitral/bicuspid
Term
4 valves of the heart
Definition
tricuspid, mitral/bicuspid, Aortic valve, Pulmonic valve
Term
The AV valves open during which phase?
Definition
diastole
they open to allow the ventricle to fill with blood from the atria
Term
The AV valves close during which phase
Definition
systole
they close to prevent backflow from the ventricle back to the atria.
Term
What is the main vein that returns blood from the system?
Definition
Superior Vena Cava
Term
What is the vein that returns blood from the pulmonary sytem (lungs)?
Definition
pulmonary vien(s)
Term
What is the main artery that pumps blood to the system?
Definition
Aorta
Term
What is the main artery that pumps blood to the pulmonary system (lungs)?
Definition
pulmonary artery.
Term
Starting from the superior vena cava, name the path of blood through both chambers of the heart including all valves, chambers, and veins.
Definition
superior vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle,pulmonic valve, pulmonary artery...
pulmonary vein, left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta....
Term
What are semilunar valves?
Definition
The semilunar (SL) valves are set between the ventricles and the arteries. Each valve has three cusps that look like half moons. The SL valves are the pulmonic valve in the right side of the heart and the aortic valve in the left side of the heart.
Term
name both semilunar valves
Definition
pulmonic valve, aortic valve
Term
2 phases of cardiac cycle
Definition
systole, diastole
Term
contraction phase
Definition
systole
Term
phase where the ventricles are relaxed and the AV valves (i.e., the tricuspid and mitral) are open
Definition
diastole
Term
The closure of the AV valves contributes to the first heart sound (S1) and signals the beginning of
Definition
SYSTOLE
Term
closure of the semilunar valves causes the second heart sound (S2) and signals the end
Definition
systole
Term
occurs with closure of the AV valves and thus signals the beginning of systole
Definition
first heart sound (S1
Term
occurs with closure of the semilunar valves and signals the end of systole.
Definition
second heart sound (S2)
Term
Specialized cells in the _______ near the superior vena cava initiate an electrical impulse

Definition
Diastolic sound.
Term
The volume of blood pumped by the left ventricle into the aorta in one minute is called:
Definition
Cardiac output.
Term
Which of the following statements concerning S1 is true?
Definition
S1 coincides with the carotid artery pulse.
