How would you explain this to her?Bravo!23-*In Summary23.1 The structures of the heart include the pericardium, epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium. The chambers of the heart consist of the upper atria and the lower ventricles. The septums are interatrial, interventricular, and atrioventricular. The four valves within the heart are tricuspid, bicuspid, pulmonary semilunar valve, and the aortic semilunar valve.23-*In Summary (cont.)23.2 Superior and inferior vena cavae → right atrium → tricuspid valve → right ventricle → pulmonary semilunar valve → pulmonary trunk → right and left pulmonary arteries → the lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → bicuspid valve →left ventricle → aortic semilunar valve → aorta → body organs and tissues.23.3 Heart sounds are described as lubb dubb. Lubb is created when the ventricles contact and the tricuspid and bicuspid valves snap shut. Dubb occurs when the atria contract and the pulmonary and aortic semilunar valves snap shut.23-*In Summary (cont.)23.4 The sinoatrial node generates an impulse to the atrioventricular node. The AV node then sends the impulse to the bundle of His. The bundle splits into the left and right bundle branches and sends the impulse to the Purkinje fibers in the ventricles.23.5 The arterial system is composed of the aorta, arteries, and arterioles (largest to smallest) bring blood from the heart to the body. The capillaries act as the connectors between the arterioles and venules. From the venules, blood returns to the heart via the veins to the superior and inferior vena cavae.23-*In Summary (cont.)23.6 Blood pressure is the force exerted on the inner wall of blood vessels by blood as it flows through vessels. It is highest in arteries and lowest in veins. Clinically, BP refers to the force of blood within the arteries. Blood pressure is largely controlled by the amount of blood pumped out of the heart, but various other events may also raise and lower BP.23-*In Summary (cont.)23.7 Pulmonary circulation: right atrium→ tricuspid valve → right ventricle→pulmonary semilunar valve → pulmonary trunk→pulmonary arteries→lungs→pulmonary veins→left atrium. Systemic circulation: left atrium→bicuspid valve→left ventricle→aortic semilunar valve → aorta → arteries → arterioles→capillaries→venules→veins→vena cavae→right atrium.23-*In Summary (cont.)23.8 The largest artery in the body is the aorta. Other major arteries include lingual, facial, occipital, maxillary, ophthalmic, axillary, brachial, ulnar, radial, intercostals, lumbar, external iliac, common iliac, femoral, popliteal, and tibial. The largest veins in the body are the superior and inferior vena cavae. Other major veins are jugular, brachiocephalic, axillary, brachial, ulnar, radial, intercostals, azygos, gastric, splenic, mesenteric, hepatic portal, hepatic, iliac, femoral, popliteal, and saphenous. 23-*In Summary (cont.)23.9 The components of blood are red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), platelets, and plasma. 23.10 Red blood cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. White blood cells are divided into two types: granulocytes and agranulocytes. Granulocytes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Agranulocytes include lymphocytes and monocytes. Platelets are essential in the blood clotting process.23.11 Plasma contains three major proteins: albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen.23-*In Summary (cont.)23.12 Hemostasis is bleeding control. When a blood vessel breaks, the vessel wall spasms and reduces blood loss. Platelets stick to the broken area and to each other, forming a platelet plug. A blood clot occurs when fibrinogen converts to fibrin, which sticks to the damaged area of the blood vessel, creating a meshwork to trap blood cells and platelets, which will remain while tissues repair themselves. 23-*In Summary (cont.)23.13 Blood types are named for the antigen present on the cell surfaces. The “opposite” letter is the name of the antibody present. Blood type A has antigen A and antibody B; blood type B has antigen B and antibody A; blood type AB has antigens A and B and 0 (zero) antibodies; Blood type O has no antigens present and both A and B antibodies.23.14 Rh-positive blood contains the Rh antigen on its RBCs. Rh-negative blood carries no such antigen. 23-*In Summary (cont.)23.15 Due to the antibodies present on different blood types, it is important for blood typing to be done prior to any transfusion. It is equally important to know if a patient’s blood type is positive or negative for the same reason. A negative blood type will “fight” the positive antigen found on a positive blood type. An Rh-negative woman carrying an Rh-positive fetus will develop antibodies against the child’s blood type. 23-*In Summary (cont.)23.16 Many different types of cardiac and blood diseases are described in this chapter. The signs, symptoms, and treatments are as varied as the diseases themselves. The Pathophysiology section of this chapter outlines the most common of these diseases, their signs and symptoms, as well as the treatments.23-*Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. ~ BuddhaEnd of Chapter 23
