WITH ANSWERS |\
Anatomy and Physiology of the heart - CORRECT |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔• There are 2 upper atria & 2 lower |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ventricles
• The chambers are separated by valves
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
¬ Mitral (bicuspid) valve - closes the orifice b/t the left
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
atrium and left ventricle during ventricular systole
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
¬ Tricuspid valve - closes the orifice b/t the right atrium &
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
right ventricle during ventricular systole as well
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
*Both the mitral & tricuspid valves are closed during
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
systole or contraction* |\ |\
¬ Aortic valve - junction of the left ventricle & the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ascending aorta, it is composed of three cusps - these |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
prevent regurgitation |\ |\
¬ Pulmonic(pulmonary) valve - junction of the right
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ventricle & the pulmonary artery, it is composed of three |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
semilunar cusps - these prevent regurgitation |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
anatomy and physiology of the greater vessels of the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
heart - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The great vessels carry
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
blood to and from the heart and include the aorta, IVC,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
SVC, and pulmonary artery and vein. Blood vessels have
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
three concentric layers: the innermost intima, the media,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and the adventitia. The intima is composed of a single
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, layer of luminal squamous ECs attached to the basement
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
membrane.
AHA chain of survival - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔5 links
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
1 Early recognition of arrest and activation of EMS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
2 Early CPR
|\ |\
3 Rapid defibrillation
|\ |\
4 Effective ALS
|\ |\
5 Integrated post arrest care
|\ |\ |\ |\
Assessment and treatment for a patient with chest pain - |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Call 911. Do not try to ignore or |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
wait out the symptoms, because it could be an indication
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of a heart attack or other serious medical condition. ...
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Chew an aspirin. ... |\ |\ |\
Take nitroglycerin, if prescribed. ...
|\ |\ |\ |\
Begin CPR, if directed. ... |\ |\ |\ |\
Use an automated external defibrillator (AED), if
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
available.
causes of cardiac arrest - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔- drugs
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
- respiratory arrest
|\ |\
- drowning
