Complete Questions And Correct
Answers With Rationales | Already
Graded A+||Brand New Version!!
cardiovascular system - Answer- consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood

Pressures generated in the heart help to continuouslty move blood throughout the body

Help to move nutrients, gases and substances throughout the body

pressure gradient - Answer- Fluids flow from area of high pressure to area of low

Blood flows out of heart when it contracts (high pressure) into vessels (low pressure)

Note: pressure will be lost in vessels due to friction between blood and walls of arteries

Septum - Answer- Divides the right and left chambers of the heart

Separates oxygenated and deoxygenated blood

Basic heart anatomy - Answer- Two upper: left and right Arita receive blood
Two lower: left and right ventricle pump blood out

Blood Flow through body - Answer- Right Arita- right ventricle- lungs (via pulmonary
arteries)- picks up O2 at lungs- left atria (via pulmonary veins)- left ventricle- rest of
body to supply O2 (via aorta)- Inferior/ Superior vena cave- Back to start at Right atria

coronary arteries - Answer- blood vessels that branch from the aorta and carry oxygen-
rich blood BACK to the heart muscle

Essentially nourishes heart with O2

Coronary vein - Answer- Drains the heart muscle tissue of blood and moves it BACK
into the right atrium of the heart

Artery - Answer- A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart

Thickest smooth muscle and elastic connective tissue

Deepest

,Vein - Answer- A blood vessel that carries blood back to the heart.

Thinner than ARTERY

Superficial

Has valves so blood always moves forward

Larger lumen diameter than artery

More compliant than artery (ability to stretch)

Act as volume reservoir

Hold 60% of blood in resting individual

Capillaries - Answer- Microscopic vessel through which exchanges take place between
the blood and cells of the body

Thick as one single cell

Connects arterioles to venules

Leaky epithelial tissue


Exchange happens between cells (paracellular) or through cells (transcellular)

apex and base of heart - Answer- A: lower tip
B: upper, lies behind sternum

Pericardium - Answer- a double-layered serous membrane that surrounds the heart that
prevents overfilling of heart

Visceral is inner layer (aka epicardium)
Parietal is outer layer and attaches to diaphragm

Filled with pericardial fluid (allow for frictionless work)

pericarditis - Answer- inflammation of the pericardium

Myocardium - Answer- Thick middle muscle layer of the heart

Covered with connective tissue

Systole - Answer- Contraction of the heart (Arita or ventricle)

, Increase of pressure on blood

Diastole - Answer- Relaxation of the heart (atria or ventricle)

Decrease of pressure on blood

atrioventricular valves - Answer- tricuspid and bicuspid valves between Artia and
ventricle

Tri: Right
Bi: Left

Prevent back flow into atria

Open and close due to pressure gradient

semilunar valves - Answer- pulmonary valve and aortic valve

Valves prevent back flow into ventricle

Open and close due to pressure gradient

Pulmonary: Right
Aorta: Left

Each valve with 3 cupcake like leaflets

lub sound is caused by - Answer- closing of the atrioventricular valves

First sound

Dub sound caused by - Answer- Closing of the semilunar valves

Second sound

chordae tendineae - Answer- thin bands of fibrous tissue that attach to the valves in the
heart and prevent them from inverting

Prevent them from being pushed back into atria during ventricular contraction

papillary muscles - Answer- responsible for pulling the atrioventricular valves closed by
means of the chordae tendineae

They simply provide stability to the chordae tendineae
