Term
the three layers of the heart
Definition

endocardium, myocardium, epicardium

Term
the top layer of the heart
Definition
endocardium
Term
the middle layer of the heart
Definition
myocardium
Term
the outermost layer of the heart
Definition

epicardium

Term
the heart is supported by a sling-like sturcture called the
Definition
pericardium
Term
the semilunar valves are
Definition
pulmonic and aortic
Term
the atrioventricular valves are
Definition
tricuspid and  bicuspid(mitral)
Term
the SA node is called the
Definition
pacemaker of the heart
Term
in PQRST what does the P stand for
Definition
the SA node firing also known as the atrial depolarization
Term
in PQRST what does the QRS stand for
Definition
ventricular depolarization
Term
in PQRST what does the T stand for
Definition
ventricular repolarization
Term
purkinje fibers cause what
Definition
the heart to beat
Term
pathway for cardiac output
Definition

SA node, atrial conducting fibers, AV node,

bundle of His, bundle of branches(lt and rt), purkinje fibers

Term

the tricuspid valves separates what two structures

Definition
the rt atrium and the rt ventricle
Term
the bisuspid valve (mitral valve) separates what two sturctures
Definition
the lt atrium and the lt ventricle
Term

the cardiac cycle is

Definition
the sequence of events that occurs during one heartbeat
Term
the three stages of the cardiac cyle is
Definition
atrial systole, venticular systole, diastole
Term

cardiac output is

Definition

the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in

1min

Term

to determine the cardiac output the formula is

Definition
cardiac output= heart rate X stoke volume
Term

a normal stoke volume is

Definition
60 to 80ml per min about 2ounces
Term

atropine is used for

Definition

pt who are in bradycardia "brady-down"

Term
another way to incease stroke volume is by
Definition
strengthening the force of myocardial contraction without stretching the myocardial fibers
Term
digoxin is the most famous drug of
Definition
inotropic drugs
Term
a (-) inotropic effects is
Definition
a decrease in the force of contraction
Term

a (+) inotropic effect is

Definition
a increase in the force of contraction
Term
backward failure is
Definition
fluid is backed up into the lungs
Term

forward failure is

Definition
can't pump adequate blood to the systemic circulation
Term
the cardiac impulse slows as it moves where
Definition
through the AV node into the bundle of His
Term
stoke volume is
Definition
the amount of blood pumped by the ventricle per beat
Term
the end diastolic volume refers to
Definition
the amount of blood in the ventricle at the end of its resting phase
Term
the end-diastolic volume determines
Definition
how much the ventricle is stretched and is the basis of Starlings law of the heart
Term
the right atrium carries
Definition
unoxygenated blood
Term
the lt atrium carries
Definition
oxygenated blood
Term
the SA node is located
Definition
in the upper posterior wall of the rt atrium
Term
the AV node is located
Definition
on the floor of the rt atrium near the interatrial septum
Term
the bundle of his breaks down into
Definition
the purkinje fibers
