a double layer that covers the heart and turns back upon itself to form
another layer of the heart's covering - Ansvisceral pericardium
a hollow, cone-shaped, muscular pump located within the mediastinum of
the thorax and resting upon the diaphragm - Ansheart
a mass of merging cells that contract as a unit - Ansfunctional syncytium
a region of connective tissue that has a special bundle of conducting fibers
that conduct the impulse to the lower regions of the ventricles at A-V
bundle & Purkinje fibers which then contract smoothly to force blood up &
out through semilunar valves - AnsA-V node
atrial contraction - Anssystole
Because of blood surges, blood flows into smaller vessels called... -
Ansarterioles
Chamber that collects blood from veins - Ansright atrium
1
,chamber that fills with blood from the lungs - Ansleft atrium
chamber that pumps the blood into the lungs via the left pulmonary artery -
Ansright ventricle
chamber that pumps the O2 rich blood into the systemic circulation -
Ansleft ventricles
chambers that force the blood out of the heart into the arteries -
Ansventricles
chambers that have thin walls and receive blood returning to the heart -
Ansatria
chambers through which blood enters the heart - Ansatria
chambers through which the blood leaves the heart - Ansventricles
circulation that takes blood to nourish the heart - Anscoronary
circulation that takes blood to the lungs - Anspulmonary
circulation that takes blood to the rest of the body - Anssystemic
consists of fibrous rings that enclose the bases of the pulmonary artery,
aorta, and artrioventricular orifices - Ansskeleton of the heart
2
, covering of the heart made of tough, white fibrous connective tissue -
Anspericardium
covering of the heart that is formed by the folding of the visceral
pericardium - Ansparietal pericardium
extends inward from the ventricular walls of the heart and attaches to the
chordae tendeinae - Anspapillary muscles
fast heartbeat - Anstachycardia
fibrous rings that provide attachments for valves and muscle fibers and
prevent orifices from excessively dilating during ventricular contractions -
Ansskeleton of the heart
form separations that mark the four chambers - Ansatrioventricular and
interventricular sulci
guards the atrioventricular orifice between the right atrium and the right
ventricle - Anstricuspid valve
guards the base of the aorta - Ansaortic valve
guards the base of the pulmonary trunk; opens as the right ventricle
contracts - Anspulmonary valves
