Cardiovascular System exam review
what is the role of a functional cardiovascular system - supplying oxygen and
nutrients to tissues and removing wastes from them
The ____ is the strongest muscle in the body - heart
What is the right side of the heart responsible for? - pumping blood into your
lungs and oxygenating it
What is the left side of the heart responsible for? - distributing oxygenated blood
throughout the body

The two sides of the heart (do/do not) work independently - do not
What causes the lubb dubb sounds of the heart - the closing of the tricuspid and
mitral valves and semilunar valves
Where is the heart located? - underneath the mediastinum

Cardiovascular System exam review
a hollow, cone-shaped, muscular pump located within the mediastinum of the
thorax and resting upon the diaphragm - heart
the outer most layer of the covering of the heart - fibrous pericardium
a double layer that covers the heart and turns back upon itself to form another
layer of the heart's covering - visceral pericardium
covering of the heart that is formed by the folding of the visceral pericardium -
parietal pericardium
covering of the heart made of tough, white fibrous connective tissue - pericardium
space between the parietal and visceral layers - pericardial cavity
serous fluid secreted by the pericardial membranes that reduces friction between
the pericardial membranes as the heart moves inside - pericardial fluid
