It starts with oxygen poor blood being pumped from the right ventricle into the pulmonary trunk. The pulmonary trunk divides into right and left pulmonary arteries that subdivide into the lobar arteries in the lungs. The lobar arteries accompany the main bronchi into the lungs and then branches forming arterioles and then pulmonary capillaries that cling to alveoli. Here oxygen moves from the air sacs to the blood, and carbon dioxide from the blood moves to the air sacs. Next, the pulmonary capillary beds drain into venules which join to form two pulmonary veins exiting each lung.
Blood flows past the aortic semilunar valve when the contracts. A. left atrium B. right atrium C. left ventricle D. right ventricle 5. Which is true? A. The left atrium contracts before the right atrium.
The air which we breathe in which is kept in the lungs, is the transferred into blood. The blood then goes around the heart, which then pumps oxygenated blood from lungs back into the body. The 2 systems also work together in order to get rid of carbon dioxide which is there as a metabolic waste product. D1
The wave passes to the atrioventricular node where it is passed down the septum down specialised fibres known as the bundle of His. This occurs after a short delay to allow all the blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles. This wave passes down the bundle of His to the Apex of the heart where the Ventricles contract upward, pumping blood out of the ventricles into the pulmonary artery and aorta through the semilunar valves. Here the blood is then passed round the body where it
The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood via the superior and inferior vena cava. The blood then goes through the right ventricle and out to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood then travels to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins, to the left ventricle, and then out to the rest of the body and organs through the aorta. The blood also supplies oxygen and nutrients to the heart via the coronary arteries that branch from the aorta. This pumping action of blood flow is controlled by electrical impulses in the heart.
Week 2 : Cardiovascular System: The Blood Vessels - Quiz ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Time Remaining: | | 1. (TCO 1) All deoxygenated blood returning from the systemic circulation flows into the: (Points : 2) | Right Atrium Left Ventricle Left Atrium Right Ventricle | 2. (TCO 1) Intercalated discs: (Points : 2) | initiate the heart beat. anchor the heart in place within the mediastinum. prevent eversion of valves.
During each heartbeat both of the atria contract first to pump blood into the ventricles. Then both ventricles contract to pump blood out
Locate each of the following lymphatic vessels: right lymphatic duct, thoracic (left lymphatic) duct, right and left subclavian veins, and cisterna chyli. a right lymphatic duct b. thoracic duct c. right and left subclavian veins d. cisterna chyli . e. Determine the direction of blood and lymph movement between arterioles, blood and lymph capillaries, and venules. blood capillaries (blood) to interstitial spaces (interstitial fluid) to lymphatic capillaries (lymph) to lymphatic vessels (lymph) to lymphatic ducts (lymph) to junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins (blood). f. Describe the lymphatic system role with regard to lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins.
Case Study Progress. The room air ABG results are reviewed. According to the results M.M. is in respiratory acidosis. Because of M.M.’s increased Kussmaul respirations he is unable to fully express carbon dioxide from his lungs causing the carbon dioxide concentration of the blood to increase and the pH to decrease causing acidosis.
http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/tricuspid-valve The Pulmonic Valve: This valve is found between the right ventricle and the lungs. As the deoxygenated blood continues on its journey through the heart from the right ventricle, it makes its exit by way of the pulmonic valve. This structure is a one-way valve with prevents the flow of blood back into the right ventricle once it leaves the heart. http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/pulmonary-valve The mitral valve: This valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. As the now oxygenated blood flows back through the left atrium, it does so under increased pressure.
