Locate the following & SVC: return blood to heart
describe their main IVC: return blood to heart
function; PA: carries de-oxy blood to
superior vena cava lungs
inferior vena cava PV: returns oxy blood to heart
pulmonary arteries A: transports oxy blood to body
pulmonary veins
aorta

What is the term for amount stroke volume
of blood pumped from the (cardiac output is SV x HR and over a period of time, not
heart with each just one contraction)
contraction?

vertically: from left 2nd ICS to
Using anatomical
5th ICS
landmarks, where is the
horizontally: from right edge of
heart located? (vertically
sternum to left MCL
and horizontally)
(midclavicular line)

anterior chest area that overlies the heart and great
What is the precordium?
vessels

The base of the heart is at base at TOP
the ____ and apex is at the apex at BOTTOM
_____ (opposite from lungs)

right hand and shoulder area
Where is the right
lymphatic duct located?



precordium = chest area protecting heart and greater
precordium vs pericardium vessels
pericardium = double walled sac surrounding heart

, pericardium = double walled fluid
filled sac surrounding heart
What are the layers of the myocardium = middle,
heart? contracting heart muscle
endocardium = inner, thin layer of
endothelial tissue

atrioventricular (AV) valves [tricuspid (Rt) &
The two structure types of
bicuspid/mitral (Lt)]
valves located in the heart
semilunar valves (exiting ventricles) [pulmonic (Rt) &
are;
aortic (Lt)]

tricuspid valve - right ventricle
What are the 4 valves of
bicuspid valve - left ventricle
the heart and where are
pulmonic valve - right vent.
they located?
aortic valve - left vent.

chordae tendineae
What anchors the AV valves
to the papillary muscle?



1. passive filling of atria (in vent.
diastole)
Discuss the 4 stages of the 2. atrial contraction (in vent.
cardiac cycle and whether diastole)
ventricles are in 3. AV valves close (vent. systole)
systole/diastole 4. semilunar valves open;
ventricles eject blood (vent.
systole)

SA: where SVC enters right
atrium
Describe the location of AV: junction of right atrium and
the following; ventricle
SA node AV bundle: inside interventricular
AV node septum next to AV node
AV bundle Purkinje: base of both right & left
Purkinje fibers ventricles (attach to chordae
tendineae and pull valves
close/open)

, P = atrial depolarization,
conduction of pulse thru atria
QRS = ventricular depolarization
Draw the PQRSTU and (impulse thru ventricles, triggers
define what is occurring contraction)
during each portion T wave = ventricular
repolarization
U wave = not always present, final
phase of vent repol.

What is the term for contraction = systole
ventricular contraction? relaxation = diastole
Ventricular relaxation?

What is the term for total QT interval
time of ventricular varies with HR
depolarization and
repolarization? What can
affect this measurement?

What is the term for no asystole
cardiac rhythm/movement
on an EKG?

What is the first heart first: S1; closure of AV valves,
sound and what is this beginning of systole
called? The second heart second: S2; semilunar valves
sound? close, end of systole

What creates the sounds beginning: closing of AV valves
attributed to the beginning end: closing of semilunar valves
and end of systole?

What is another term for mitral valve
the bicuspid valve?

Where are S1 and S2 best S1: at the apex (BOTTOM), tricuspid area
heard on the heart? S2: best heard at pulmonic area, base (TOP)

first sound is aortic valve closing and second sound is
What is happening if you pulmonic valve closing
hear 2 sounds while (aortic closes first because of increased pressure on left
listening to S2? side of heart and route of depolarization)
charted as split S2
