CVS 100 FINAL EXAM (Cardiac Anatomy) || 100% verified
answers.
The heart is located: correct answers in the central thoracic cavity slightly to the left of the
midline, between the 3rd and 5th intercostal spaces, anterior to the vertebrae, posterior to the
sternum and lungs.
The heart is enclosed within a fluid filled sac called the: correct answers pericardium.
The purpose of the pericardium is to: correct answers prevent friction as the heart beats.
The heart is surrounded by ________ of serous fluid. correct answers 10-50 ml
The pericardium helps protect the heart against: correct answers infection, trauma & friction.
The pericardium is a loose, double layer sac made up of: correct answers elastic connective
tissue.
The outer layer of the pericardium is called the: correct answers fibrous pericardium.
The inner layer of the pericardium is called the ________ _________ and it is made up of 2
layers. correct answers serous pericardium.
The ______ _____ lines the inside of the fibrous pericardium. correct answers parietal layer
The _______ ________ (or Epicardium) adheres to the outside of the heart. correct answers
visceral layer
, Pericardial effusion is: correct answers the buildup of too much fluid in the double-layered,
saclike structure around the heart (pericardium). The space between these layers typically
contains a thin layer of fluid.
The heart consists of how many chambers? correct answers 4
The heart functions as a: correct answers two sided pump (right heart & left heart).
The right and left ATRIA'S receive: correct answers blood from the body.
The right and left Ventricles pump: correct answers blood out to the body.
The right side of the heart is a LOW pressure system that: correct answers receives deoxygenated
(venous) blood from the body and it pumps it to the lungs. This is pulmonary circulatory system.
The left side of the heart is a HIGH pressure system that: correct answers receives oxygenated
(arterial) blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body. This is the systemic circulatory system.
Each atria have _________. Also known as ___________. correct answers appendages; auricles.
The appendages take the form of a: correct answers blind pouch extending from the atrial cavity.
The atrial appendage serves to: correct answers increase the surface area of each atrium.
Appendages (left and right) are made up of projecting muscles that run parallel to each other,
known as: correct answers Pectinate muscle (help increase contractility without increasing
muscle mass)
