functions of the heart
Pumping blood to lungs and the rest of the body for gas exchange and nutrient delivery
anatomy of the heart
4 chambers: right/left atria and ventricles
Valves: tricuspid, bicuspid (mitral), pulmonary, aortic
Oxygenated
left atrium and ventricle
Deoxygenated
right atrium and ventricle
Valves
Ensure unidirectional blood flow through the heart
blood flow through the heart
RA → tricuspid valve → RV → pulmonary valve → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → LA → bicuspid valve → LV → aortic valve → aorta → body
P wave
atrial depolarization
QRS complex
ventricular depolarization
T wave
ventricular repolarization
Systole
contraction, blood ejected
Diastole
relaxation, chambers fill with blood
