Heart
• Define– Muscular, hollow
organ– Size of a clenched fist– Located in the center
of the chest, under the sternum, tipped slightly to the left
– Apex is the bottom of the heart
![Page 5: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Layers of the Heart
• Endocardium– Epithelial tissue– Lines heart
• Myocardium– Middle layer– Cardiac muscle tissue
• Pericardium– Epithelial tissue– Covers outside of heart

Septum
Wall that divides the heart into left and right
![Page 8: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Heart Chambers
• Atria (atrium)1. Right 3. Left
• Ventricle2. Right4. Left
![Page 9: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Heart Valves
• Tricuspid– Separates the right
atrium from the right ventricle
– Has 3 flaps• Mitral
– Separates the left atria and the left ventricle
– Has 2 flaps
![Page 10: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Pulmonary valve– Separates the right
ventricle from the pulmonary artery
• Aortic valve– Separates the left
ventricle from the aorta
![Page 11: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cardiac Cycle• Right and left atriums
contract and work together
• Right and left ventricles contract and work together
• Systole – period of ventricular contraction
• Diastole – brief period of rest
![Page 12: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Blood Pressure 120/70
• Diastolic– Bottom number– Heart relaxes as it
passively fills with blood
• Systolic– Top number– Highest pressure in
vessels when the ventricles contract
![Page 13: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pattern of Circulation • Superior and inferior vena cava• Right atrium• Tricuspid valve• Right ventricle• Pulmonary valve• Pulmonary artery• Lungs• Pulmonary veins• Left atrium• Mitral valve• Left ventricle• Aortic valve• Aorta• Arteries• Arteriole• Capillaries• Venules• Veins• Superior and inferior vena cava
![Page 14: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Electrical Conductive Pathway
• Function– Electrical impulses in the heart cause the contraction
of the muscles– A group of nerve cells that send out an electrical
impulse which spreads out over the heart– SA Node
• Sinoatrial node• Located in the right atrium
– AV Node• Atrioventricular node• Located in the septum between the atriums and the
ventricles
![Page 15: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Bundle of HIS– Nerve cells in the
septum• Right and Left Bundle
Branches– Divides off Bundle of
HIS• Purkinje Fibers
– A network of nerve fibers throughout the ventricles
![Page 16: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

EKG - Electrocardiogram
• Record of the movement of the electrical impulse as it travels through the heart
![Page 18: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Normal EKG
![Page 19: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Arrhythmias
• Abnormal or irregular heart rhythms
![Page 20: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Defibrillators
• When the heart is in atrial or ventricular fibrillation, the heart must be shocked with an electrical current to stop the uncoordinated contraction and allow the SA node to regain control
![Page 21: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Pacemakers
• A small battery powered device with electrodes that monitors the hearts activity and delivers an electrical impulse to stimulate contraction
• Fixed and demand• Avoid electromagnetic forces like
microwaves and cellular phones
![Page 23: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Blood Vessels• Arteries
– Carry blood away from the heart
– Largest is the aorta– Smaller arteries called
arterioles– After the blood leaves
the left ventricle the first branch off the aorta is the coronary arteries
– Walls are more muscular and elastic
![Page 25: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
VeinsCarry blood back to the
heartLargest veins – superior
and inferior vena cavaVeins are thinner and
have less muscle tissue
![Page 26: Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815d94550346895dcbb010/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Valves
Veins contain valves to prevent the backward flow of blood
