4. Chamber of heart right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
Valves tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, aortic
Septum separates the right and left sides of the heart
Blood flow pathway vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle,
pulmonic valve, pulmonic artery, lungs for
oxygenation.
pulmonic veins, left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle,
aortic valve, aorta and to the body.
pulmonary circulation flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to
the heart
systemic circulation circulation that supplies blood to all the body except
to the lungs
A patient asks the nurse to explain the Pulmonary circulation moves blood between the
difference between pulmonary and heart and lungs for gas exchange, while systemic
systemic circulation. circulation delivers oxygenated blood to body
tissues.
Oxygen diffusion IN Moves from lungs to blood due to higher
concentration in lungs
CO2 Diffusion out moves from blood to lung due to higher
concentration in the blood
, Heart external Structure Fibrous Pericardium(outer)
Parietal Pericardium(middle)
Visceral Pericardium(inner)
A nursing student is reviewing heart D. Epicardium (visceral Pericardium)
anatomy. Which layer of the
Pericardium is most likely to become
inflamed in pericarditis?
Tricuspid valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
Mitrial (bicuspid) valve between left atrium and left ventricle
pulmonic valve right semilunar valve separating the right ventricle
and pulmonary artery
aortic valve heart valve between the left ventricle and the aorta
Myocardium muscular, middle layer of the heart, pumps blood
Papillary Muscles Small muscles attached to valve leaflets
Chordae tendinae Fibers (heart strings) attatched to the tricuspid and
mitral valve which pull it closed when papillary
muscles contract, preventing back flow of blood
Cardiac cycle Phase 1: atrial Filling Both atria relax and fill with blood, a phase known as
diastole. Veins carry blood TO the heart and arteries
carry blood AWAY
Phase 2: Atrial Systole Right flow- contracts pushing deoxygenated blood
through the tricuspid valve in to the right ventricle
Left flow- Contracts pushing oxygenated blood
through the mitral valve in the left ventricle
Phase 3: Ventricular Systole Main pumping phase, both ventricles contract
simultaneously directing blood to distinct
destinations
