Cardio Exam Study Guide(13
Heart position variance - ANSWERS-body build
-chest configuration
-diaphragm level
-dextrocardia
Dextrocardia situs inversus - ANSWERS-heart and abdominal viscera mirror imaged to opposite
side of body (they are on the opposite side of the body)
Chambers of the heart - ANSWERSR atrium, R ventricle, L atrium, L ventricle
Blood flow through the heart - ANSWERS1-Superior & Inferior Vena Cava
2-Rt Atrium
3-Tricuspid Valve
4- Rt Ventricle
5-Pulmonary Valve
6-Pulmonary Artery
7- Lungs-pick up oxygen
8-Pulmonary Veins 9- Lt Atrium
10- Mitral Valve (Bicuspid)
11-Lt Ventricle
12- Aortic Valve
13-Aorta
14- Body
, AV Valves - ANSWERStricuspid and mitral
semilunar valves - ANSWERSpulmonary valve and aortic valve
Preload - ANSWERS-The precontraction pressure in the heart as the volume of blood builds up.
Afterload - ANSWERS-The force or resistance against which the heart pumps.
End systolic volume - ANSWERSvolume of blood remaining in each ventricle after systole
end diastolic volume - ANSWERSvolume of blood in each ventricle at end of ventricular diastole
Systole - ANSWERScontraction phase of the heartbeat
Diastole - ANSWERSRelaxation of the heart
Cardiac output - ANSWERS-The amount of blood the heart pumps in a minute.
=HR x SV
-Normal is 4-8 L/min
Stroke Volume - ANSWERS-The difference in the volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of
diastole (EDV) and at the end of systole (ESV)
-The amount of blood ejected with each ventricular contraction.
Factors that affect Stroke Volume - ANSWERS1. Preload
