Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

57 notecards = 15 pages (4 cards per page)

carry oxygenated blood are colored blue

front 7

Right atrium

back 7

receives unoxygenated blood from superior vena cava and inferior vena cava

front 8

superior vena cava

back 8

collects blood from the upper head and upper body region

front 9

inferior vena cava

back 9

receives blood from the lower parts of the body

front 10

The right ventricle

back 10

Receives oxygenated blood from the right atrium

front 11

The left atrium

back 11

receives oxygenated blood from the lungs to the pulmonary veins

front 12

Whats the primary function of the right ventricle

back 12

To pump blood through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. It receives unoxygenated blood from the right atrium.

front 13

People with chronic high blood pressure

back 13

generally develops left ventricular hypertrophy

front 14

What happens when the ventricle is forced to over work

back 14

It will eventually enlarge a condition called ventricular hypertrophy

front 15

why is the left ventricular myocardium thicker then the right myocardium

back 15

Difference is the result is the result of the greater amount of force required of force required to pump blood into the systemic circulation through the aorta

front 16

why is thickness of the myocardial important

back 16

The thick muscle is needed to create enough force to pump blood .

front 17

HOw does blood leave the left ventricle

back 17

blood leaves through the aorta , the largest artery of the body

front 18

Left ventricle

back 18

receives oxygenated blood from the left the primary function of the left ventricle is to pump blood into the systemic circulation

front 19

Left atrium

back 19

Receives oxygenated oxygenated blood from the lungs through 4 pulmonary veins

front 20

semilunar valves which are known for the cusp because they resemble half moon

back 20

They control the outflow of blood from the right and left ventricles and are therefore exit valves

front 21

Av valves

back 21

allow blood to enter the ventricles

front 22

In the heart blood flows where

back 22

blood flows from the atria through the av valves into the ventricles

front 23

Two valves are called

back 23

atrioventricular valves which are located between the atria and the ventricles

front 24

What are the purpose of the heart valves

back 24

To keep the heart valves flowing in one direction

front 25

How many valves the heart have?

back 25

The heart has four valves

front 26

the lower ventricles

back 26

Are the pumping chambers

front 27

The upper atria is what

back 27

They are the receiving chambers

front 28

What are the large vessels called attached to the heart

back 28

The great vessels which includes superior vena cava inferior vena cava pulmonary trunk,four pulmonary veins and aorta.

front 29

pulmonary artery hypertension

back 29

developes right ventricular hypertrophy and right heart failure

front 30

What happens if the blood pressure not lowered what will happen

back 30

The left ventricle will eventually weaken and fail as a pump

front 31

what is the sa node called

back 31

the pacemaker

front 32

when is the coronary blood flow the greatest

back 32

during relaxation

front 33

pulmonary circulation summarized

back 33

The oxygenated blood flows through the four pulmonary veins from the lungs into the left atrium.From the left atrium , the bloods flows through the biscuspid valve into the left ventricle , left ventricular contraction forces blood throught the aortic valve into the aorta for distrubution to systemic circulation.The path way of blood flows through the heart.

front 34

where do the coronary arteries arise from

back 34

The base of the ascending aorta

front 35

The blood that nourishes and oxygenate the myocardium

back 35

Is provided by the coronary Arteries

front 36

abnormal heart sounds

back 36

They are called murmurs

front 37

What if the valve become leaky in the aorta valve

back 37

It will damage the heart

front 38

stenotic valve

back 38

make it difficult for a heart chamber to force blood through the stenosed valve their by increasing work of the pumping chamber it can cause heart failure and hypertrophy

front 39

when valves are narrow

back 39

Its called stenosis

front 40

semi luna valves

back 40

open and close due to pressure

front 41

The aortic valve

back 41

opens nd flows into aortic valve snaps closed and prevents back flow from the aorta to the ventricle

front 42

When the right ventricle contracts

back 42

blood from the ventricles forces pulmonary valve open then flows to the pulmonary trunk which is the large vessel that carries blood from the right ventricle to the right and left pulmonary arteries

front 43

when the right ventricle relaxes

back 43

the pulmonic valve is closed

front 44

what are the two exit sv valves

back 44

pulmonic and aortic sv

front 45

When the left ventricle contracts

back 45

the mitral valve closes and prevents the flow of blood from the left ventricle back into the left atrium

front 46

what happens when the mitrial valve is open

back 46

blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle

front 47

What is the left av valve called

back 47

The biscuspid valve since it has two cuffs and its also called the mitral valve because it resembles a bishop mitre hat

front 48

When the right ventricle contracts

back 48

the tricuspid valve will close and prevents blood from flowing back into the right atrium

front 49

If the tricuspid valve is open

back 49

Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle

front 50

The right av valve

back 50

Is called the tricuspid valve because it has three cusp

front 51

chordae attendee attached to papillary muscles in ventricular muscles

back 51

As blood pushes the cusp ino closed position , the papillary muscles contract, pulling on the chordae tendineae

front 52

chordae tendineae

back 52

fiborous band of tissue

front 53

closed av valves do what ?

back 53

They prevent backward flow of blood from the ventricles to the atria

front 54

When the ventricles contract, the heart muscles

back 54

compresses or squeezes the muscles in the ventricles then the blood pushes the cusp upward towards the atria in a closed position

front 55

What closes av valves

back 55

Presssure!!!

front 56

What do the semilunar valves do

back 56

They control the outflow of blood from the right ventricle and left ventricles which therefore are exit valves

front 57

when the ventricles are relaxed

back 57

the cusps hang loosely within ventricles in this position , the valves are open and permit blood flow from atria to ventricles
