The heart is considered a _______________.

Transport system consisting of two side by side pumps.

The right side of the heart ________________.

Receives oxygen-poor blood from tissues/ IT pumps blood to lungs to get rid of CO2, pick up O2, via PULMONARY CIRCUIT

The left side of the heart _______________

receives OXYGENATED blood from lungs, and pumps blood to body tissues via SYSTEMIC CIRCUIT

When the blood leaves the Left side of the heart it is in _____________.

Systemic circuit

The heart has _______ receiving chambers, and are called....

2, Right Atrium/Left Atrium

The right atrium receives blood from __________.

The systemic Circuit

Pumping chambers of the heart are ________

Right Ventricle/left ventricle

The part of the heart that pumps blood through the pulmonary circuit

Right ventricle

The part of the heart that pumps blood through the systemic circuit

the left ventricle

Part of the heart that Receives blood returning from systematic circuit

Right atrium

______________ is palpated between fifth and sixth rubs, just below the left nipple

APICAL IMPULSE

The covering of the heart is __________

Pericardium

The pericardium is double walled sac, that ________________

protects and anchors to surrounding structures and prevents overfilling.

This part of the pericardium lines the internal surface of fibrous pericardium.

PARIETAL LAYER

The Epicardium is also called the ____________ layer.

VISCERAL LAYER

This layer of the heart looks shiny, and is on the external surface of the heart

epicardium (VISCERAL LAYER)

The pericardial cavity of the pericardium has thin fluid and does this _______________

decreases fluid

This part of the heart protects from friction __________

serous pericardium

Inflammation of the pericardium is called ______________

PERICARDITIS

_______________________ makes a creaking sound heard with a stethoscope and roughens membrane surfaces.

PERICARDIAL FRICTION RUB

Excess fluid sometimes compresses heart - and leads to limited pumping ability

CARDIAC TAMPONADE

Three layers of the heart wall _______________________, __________________, ____________________.

Epicardium, Myocardium, Endocardium.

The _____________ is the visceral layer of the serous pericardium.

Epicardium

A spiral bundle of contractile cardiac muscle cell ______________

MYOCARDIUM.

This layer of the heart wall crisscrosses, interlaces layer of connective tissue, anchors cardiac muscle fibers, supports great vessels and valves, limits spread of action potentials to specific paths.

Myocardium
