Answer the following questions. Save your answers as a Word document and submit to the week 5 dropbox.
1. Track a drop of blood from its entry into the right atrium until it leaves the left ventricle. Be sure to include all anatomical landmarks, including the major vessels and valves the blood passes through on this journey.
The process of the blood entering the heart to the superior, inferior venae cavae from the right atrium blood then goes through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. While the right ventricle contracts the muscle, it force pushes blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve then goes into the pulmonary semilunar valve and into the pulmonary artery.
The blood then travel to the lungs where it will receive the oxygen to continue the process of circulation. Later, it drains out of the lungs via the pulmonary veins and then travels into the left atrium. While the blood is forced out through the aortic semilunar valve and into the aorta. The aorta and its branches carry blood to all the tissues of the body system. Reference, Essential of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 2012, by Elaine N. Marieb, 2012, Chapter 11, page 357, and Lab tutoring animation.
2. Name the elements of the intrinsic conduction system in the correct order. Which one is called the “pacemaker”?
The following elements of the intrinsic conduction are; the SA node, AV node, bundle of HIS, bundle branches, Purkinje fibers, and the SA node is well known as the anatomical pacemaker, especially for those folks that have problem with the heart.
