Cardiovascular System
-
Anatomy of heart
-
External Structures
-
-
Ligamentum Arteriosum
Fibrous band, between Aorta and Left Pulmonary Artery
-

-
-
Internal Structures
Septums
Interatrial Septum
Separates the atria, it is a wall of tissues
-
Papillary Muscle
When contracted opens the valves leading to the ventricles, allowing blood to enter

-
The cardiac cycle
-
Ventricles Contract: Compress blood into chambers, forces AV valve close, intraventricular pressure causes SL valves to open
-
Ventricles Relax: SL valve closes , blood fills the cup-like valves
Blood Vessels
Arteries
Elastic arteries: thick walled near the heart, Pressure resevoir by expanding and recoiling as heart ejects into them
Muscular arteries: Delivers blood to specific organs, active in vastconstriction and vasodilation
Arterioles: Connect muscular arteries to capillary beds, regulates blood flow into capillary beds
-
Venous System
Venules: Directs blood from capillary bed to veins, fluids and leukocytes to move easily through their walls
Veins: Carry blood from venules to the heart, act as blood reservoirs and direct blood back to the heart
-
-Presence of neural inhibition from PNS. -Stimulates concentration of the aorta. -Passes through the internodal pathway to reach the AV node
Impulse is delayed to allow atria to complete their contraction before the ventricles are stimulated
