Lesson 16-1 Objectives

• Describe the location of the heart.• Name the three layers and covering of the

heart.• Explain the function of the heart as two

separate pumps. • Identify the four chambers of the heart.• Explain the functions of the four heart valves.

Heart: Size and Location

• Located between second rib and fifth intercostal space– Apex: Lower, pointed – Base: Upper,

flattened – Precordium: Anterior

Heart: Layers and Covering

• Three layers of heart– Endocardium– Myocardium– Epicardium

• Pericardium• Pericardial space,

with 10 to 30 mL fluid

A Double Pump andTwo Circulations

• Double pump – Right heart (blue)– Left heart (red)

• Two circulations– Pulmonic– Systemic

Heart Valves: Atrioventricular (AV)• Tricuspid between

right atrium and ventricle

• Bicuspid (mitral) between left atrium and ventricle

• Cusps attached to ventricular walls by chordae tendineae

Heart Valves: Semilunar Valves

• Pulmonic valve– Between right

ventricle and pulmonary artery

• Aortic valve – Between left

ventricle and aorta

Lesson 16-2 Objectives

• Describe the blood flow through the heart.• List the vessels that supply blood to the heart.• Identify the major components of the heart’s

conduction system.

Characteristics of Coronary Blood Flow

• Flow can increase up to four to five times during exertion.

• Flow is greatest during myocardial relaxation.• Coronary arteries can form anastomoses.

Diminished Coronary Blood Flow• Ischemia (diminished blood flow and oxygen

deprivation)• Angina (chest pain)• Myocardial infarction (heart attack)• Diagnostic tests

– Creatine phosphokinase (CPK)– Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)– Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)– Troponin

Page 17: Chapter 016

Cardiac Conduction System (cont’d.)

• SA node originates cardiac impulse. • Cardiac impulse spreads to AV node, left

atrium. Atria contract.

• AV node slows cardiac impulse and sends it to bundle of His.

• Bundle of His sends cardiac impulse to Purkinje fibers throughout the ventricles. Ventricles contract.

Electrocardiogram: Measurement of Electrical Activity

• P-wave: impulse depolarizing in atria

• QRS complex: impulse depolarizing in ventricles

• T-wave: impulse repolarizing in ventricles
