Blood Flow THROUGH the
RIGHT Heart

• Right Ventricle
• Pulmonary artery

Heart

Pulmonary veins
Left Atrium
Mitral/bicuspid valve
Left ventricle
Aorta (ascending/ descending) 1

Cardiac Contraction
• Diastole=relaxation=filling with blood
• Systole=contraction=ejection of blood
• Left and right heart work simultaneously yet independently

Tricuspid/Bicuspid Valves
• During Atrial filling
(diastole) the tricuspid and bicuspid valves are closed. • As the pressure in the atria increase, the valves are forced open and blood drops into the ventricles Pulmonic/Aortic Valves
• During ventricular filling (diastole), the pulmonic and aortic valves are closed (shut)
• As the pressure in the ventricles increases, these valves are forced open and eject blood into the aorta/systemic circulation (systole)

Layers of the Heart
• Endocardium=inner layer. Continous with valves and lining of blood vessels
• Myocardium=middle layer. “Muscle”
• Pericardium=outer layer, “double layer”, filled with pericardial fluid. Cardiac Conduction
• Sinoatrial (SA) node
(through right atrium)
• Bachmann’s bundle
(through left atrium)
• Atrioventricular (AV) node • Bundle of His (R &L)
(through the ventricles)

Blood Supply TO the Heart
• Right coronary artery – R ventricle,
SA/AV node
– Inferior wall
MI with bradycardia 3

Blood Supply TO the Heart
• Left Coronary
Artery
– Main supplier of left ventricle
(anterior wall)
– Lateral wall of left atrium and ventricle – Massive MI
– High mortality rate Blood supply TO the heart
• Left anterior descending – Anterior wall left ventrilce – Anteroseptal MI

    The blood flows through our heart in a series of different steps and factors. Oxygen flows into the heart through the right atrium where at this time the tricuspid valve is closed, allowing the blood to fill the right atrium. Next, the muscle walls of the right atrium contract and push the blood through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Once this occurs the right ventricle contracts and pushes the blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery. The oxygen rich blood is then returned from the lungs to the left sides of the heart and into the left atrium. The contract of the muscle of the left atrium pushes the blood out into the left ventricle. Finally once the left ventricle fills with blood the muscle walls contract pushing blood into the aorta and throughout the body (Thibodeau, 2008).…

    Sheep Dissection Plan

    You will need to orient the heart so that the vena cava is placed dorsally. The apex of the heart will be inferior to the base. The superior/inferior left pulmonary veins along with the superior/inferior right pulmonary veins create an X shape on the dorsal/posterior side of the heart. The Superior vena cava lies just superiorly to the right pulmonary veins. Below the right pulmonary veins is where the right atrium can be found. The left atrium is just inferior to the left pulmonary veins. Bordering the left atrium is the coronary sinus. The coronary sinus separates the left/right atria from the left/right ventricles. Running longitudinally and separating the left ventricle from the right ventricle is the anterior interventricular sulcus. The coronary artery runs on an oblique angle from the right atrium to about midway down the right ventricle. The pulmonary trunk is on the superior end of the right ventricle and opens up inside of it via the pulmonary valve.…

    Moving right along, we now can see the right atria. The right atria is part of the heart, which is the upper chamber, which receives the de-oxygenated blood form our body from the vena cava and is then pumped into the right ventricle of the heart, which is the lower chamber of the heart. After it has done so it will move its way to the lungs under low pressure, which is via the pulmonary artery and there the blood will be turned into oxygenated blood. Between the right atria and the right ventricle…

    unit 5 anatomy and physiology

    In our bodies we need energy so that we could do things that are possible such as; move our muscles, talk and all the other things that we do. Without energy all people would be useless not being able to do anything. Energy is needed to extract the oxygen from the areas in our bodies and diffuse it into our bloodstream. As warm blooded people we can only digest food and function if our bodies are at a certain temperature and have enough energy, and energy is required for this. We need energy to be able to move and use our muscles which also only operate when they are warm. Energy is the ability to do work in our bodies. That means doing everything that a body needs to do to stay alive and to grow: pumping ions across membranes, making new proteins, making new lipids, making hormones, making new cells, neural function, contracting muscles, replacing damaged components, absorbing nutrients, excreting wastes and pumping blood.…

    The Cardiovascular System: The Circulatory System

    The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The term cardiovascular refers to the heart (cardio-) and blood vessels (vascular). The term circulatory refers to the circulation of the blood. The heart is a muscular pump and its regular contractions send blood into tough, elastic tubes called arteries, which branch into smaller vessels and convey oxygen-rich blood through the body. The arteries eventually divide into tiny capillaries, which have such thin walls, that oxygen, nutrients, minerals, and other substances pass through to surrounding cells and tissues. Waste substances flow from the tissues and cells into the blood for disposal. The capillaries join and enlarge to create tubes that eventually become veins, which take blood back to the heart. Vessels carrying oxygenated blood (usually arteries) are shown in red and those carrying deoxygenated blood (usually veins) are blue.…
