EMT cardiology FISDAP study guide
with complete solutions
Septum ✔✔Divides the right and left chambers of the heart
superior vena cava ✔✔transports blood from the upper portion of the body to the right atrium of
the heart
inferior vena cava ✔✔carries blood from lower regions of the body to right atrium of the heart
right ventricle ✔✔pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
tricuspid valve ✔✔valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
pulmonary artery ✔✔Carries deoxygentated blood from the heart to the lungs
pulmonary veins ✔✔carry the oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart
, left ventricle ✔✔pumps oxygenated blood to the body
left atrium ✔✔receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
right atrium ✔✔Receives deoxygenated blood from the body
mitral (bicuspid) valve ✔✔valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
SA node ✔✔pacemaker of the heart, where normal electrical impulses begin
AV node ✔✔region where electrical impulse in the heart is slowed to allow blood time to pass
from the atria to the ventricles
sympathetic nervous system ✔✔flight or fight; speeds heart rate, dilates blood vessels in muscle,
increases respiratory speed and depth, constricts blood vessels in digestive system
parasympathetic ✔✔feed and breed; slows heart & respiratory rate, constricts blood vessels in
muscles, dilates blood vessels in digestive system
