Juhi Ramchandani Lab Exam I Biol 251 6 am TAs = Elizavetha & Pete Systemic circulation Pulmonary circulation = circulation

tion of the lungs Heart o Receiving chamber = atria Receive blood from Veins (Vena Cava or Pulmonary) ***PULMONARY VEIN = Only vein that has OXYGENATED blood to the heart All other veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart o Dispersing chamber = ventricle Send blood away via Arteries ***PULMONARY ARTERY = Only artery that carries DEOXYGENATED blood away from the heart o Right Atrium Receives blood from Superior and Inferior Vena Cava Sends blood to Right Ventricle o Right ventricle Sends blood from Right atrium to lungs o Lungs Blood comes back via pulmonary circulation to Left Atria thru pulmonary veins Left = Oxygenated o Left Atria Receives oxygenated blood from lungs (pulmonary veins) o Left ventricle Receives blood from atria Pumps blood to body Thicker b/c of greater resistance Systemic circulation Goes to Aorta (biggest)

Valves o Atriaventricular Valve Right = Tricuspid Valve Left = Bicuspid Valve (Mitral Valve) Try before you buy LAB RAT Left Atria Bicuspid Right Atria Tricuspid o Semilunar valves A.k.a. Aortic or Pulmonary valve Closed when Heart is RELAXING In arteries, prevent blood backflow into heart

Juhi Ramchandani Lab Exam I Biol 251 o If AV valve is OPEN, Semilunar valve is CLOSED When we need to fill the ventricles When we need to disperse blood from the heart o Cuspids Chordae tendinae o Papillary muscles Attached at chords that control the leaflets of the valves Pull on leaflets of valves Prevents blood flow of blood to atria Cardiac muscles When they contract, they pull on chords, which pull on leaflets, which inhibits blood flow from atria to ventricle o These two Prevent Backflow! Pericardium o 2 layers o Space in between layers = pericardial cavity Somewhat lubricated to prevent damage due to friction Pericardial fluid or Blood (diseases) o Pericardial Tamponade Filled with blood = constricts heart (muscle doesnt stretch properly, not very well compressible)

Juhi Ramchandani Lab Exam I Biol 251 Heart Model o Female = 300 g, Male = 350 g o Auricles Ears of the heart Extension of the atria Appendages of upper chambers of heart Sometimes we need extra space, when heart does not require as much pumping Storage of blood Used under extraneous activity conditions (not used normally under daily conditions) o Base of the heart (back) = flatter o Kidney Renal artery Originally much branched, but collects usually into 2 (L & R) o Smaller you are, the higher your heart rate o Infant doesnt have a developed circularity system, so heart just keeps working (without a lot of resistance) Dont freak out unless infant heart rate is >200 bpm o Apex Pointed edge of heart @ bottom Cardiac Muscle o Intermediate between skeletal & smooth muscle o Can receive impulses from nervous system & can create its own impulses Specialized cells that discharge signal Concentrated in SA (sinoatrial) node Depolarize and disperse signal thru Right Atria, which causes it to contract and dump blood into RV Signal travels to the AV (Atriaventricular) Node Signal dispersed to bundle of branches to bulbs of ventricle This causes ventricles to contract Septum o Walls between the R & L sides o Between ventricles = Interventricular Septum Heart Stimulation o SA Node = Pacemaker of the heart (stimulate signal to cause heart to contract) Once pacemaker potential reached, stimulates action potential, which travels down to the AV node and subsequently Purkinje fibers (neurons) o SA Node AV Node Purkinje fibers (located in ventricular portion) o Myogenic activity Activity originates in the muscle of the heart SA Node can receive impulses from CNS

Heart contraction o Atria contracted simultaneously o 0.1 s later, Ventricles contract o Valves propel blood to ventricles from atria o When heart contracts, blood pushes against valves and creates a sound (heard using a stethoscope) 1st sound = AV valve (louder)

Juhi Ramchandani Lab Exam I Biol 251 When blood reaches ventricles, valves close. Ventricles contract and the blood pushes against the valves, creating a loud sound Blood exits via arteries (Aorta or Pulmonary) When blood going to Aorta or Pulmonary Arteries, semilunar valves are closed (when heart relaxes) Relaxes so blood in arteries does not return back to the heart 2nd sound = Blood against semilunar valve (softer) Need blood to leave heart Semilunar valves prevent blood backflow into heart Semilunar valves close as blood exits via arteries While Heart relaxes, blood pushes back against the Semilunar valves, creating a sound o Semilunar valves = located in arteries CLOSED during RELAXATION OPEN during CONTRACTION Blood Arteries o AV Valves CLOSED during CONTRACTION OPEN during RELAXATION Blood: Atria Ventricles
