Document Summary

Right side pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs (pulmonary circuit); left side pumps oxygenated blood and nutrients to the rest of our body (systemic circuit) Flow is constant throughout the entire system; meaning that both sides are in concert with one another; both sides contract simultaneously, as such; flow is equal throughout the entire system. Respective parts on the left and right side contract at the same time; gives equal flow rate same throughout. Atrial contraction: both atrium contract; distension in the shape of atria on both sides; av valves open; blood moves from atria. Ventricle; semilunar valves are closed (prevents blood from moving to the outflowing arteries: blood is able to go from atria to ventricles (down pressure gradient), but no further; thus ventricular blood. Mitochondrion (powerhouse; makes atp; gives energy for contraction); sarcolemma (carries signal from nerves; Cardiac muscle cell exist as a muscle fibre; skinny fibres; made up of actin and myosin.
