|
right atrium |
heart chamber that contains the sinoatrial (SA) node; the coronary sinus empties blood from cardiac circulation into this chamber |
|
right ventricle |
heart chamber that pumps blood to the pulmonary trunk |
|
left atrium |
the four pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood to this chamber |
|
left ventricle |
heart chamber with the thickest wall, inferior discharging chamber on the left side of the heart, roof of this chamber contains the bicuspid valve, sends blood into the aorta |
|
vein |
superior and inferior vena cava are classified as these types of vessels, some of these larger vessels have valves to prevent blackflow, have thinner walls and transport oxygen-poor blood |
|
artery |
vessels that carry blood away from the heart, aorta is classified as one of these, have thicker walls and a heavier tunica media |
|
right AV valve |
tricuspid valve located between right atrium and right ventricle |
|
interventricular septum |
divides the left from the right ventricle |
|
left AV valve |
bicuspid (mitral) valve located between left atrium and left ventricle |
|
sinoatrial (SA) node |
located in the right atrium, "pacemaker" of the heart |
|
path for the transmission of an impulse in the conduction system of the heart |
SA node, AV node, atrioventricular bundle, right and left bundle branches, Purkinje fibers |
|
stroke volume |
volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle with each beat of the heart |
|
correct sequence from outermost to innermost layer of a blood vessel wall |
tunica externa, tunica media, tunica intima |
