Cardiac anatomy questions and answers
Closed system - circulation is continuous one-way movement through the body
all systems are dependent on the - heart
two main circuits - pulmonary and systemic
which circuit transports blood to and from the lungs - pulmonary
which circuit transports blood to and from the rest of the body - systemic
arteries carry blood ? - away from the heart
veins carry blood ? - to the heart
the chest cavity is the - mediastinum
The heart beats how many times/minute - 60-100
The heart beats how many times/day - 90,000
, Cardiac anatomy questions and answers
The heart pumps how many liters of blood? - 6,000
Top of the heart is called the - base
Bottom of the heart is called the - apex
Pericardium is the - double-walled sac that encloses the heart.
The pericardium serves as - support and protection
Visceral Pericardium (inner) - thin,serous inner layer, and continuous with the
outer layer
Parietal Pericardium (outer) - tougher outer layer that anchors the heart to the
diaphragm and great vessels
Pericardial Fluid - small amount of fluid found between layers of pericardium,
which minimizes friction rub
