PHYSICS 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Pulmonary Pleurae, Pleural Cavity, Thoracic Cavity
Document Summary
What system is closely connected to the cardiovascular system: lymphatic system. What are the 2 separate circulations that the heart pumps blood into: the pulmonary circulation, systemic circulation. Where does the right side of the heart pump blood to? lungs where does the left side of the heart pump blood to: the rest of the body. What are the functions of the cardiovascular system: transport o2, nutrients, hormones, cells of the immune system, drugs, remove co2 and waste metabolites from tissues, homeostasis: helps with temperature and ph regulation. What are constituents of the cardiovascular system: blood (circulatory fluid, blood vessels (tubes that carry blood, heart (a muscular pump with pumps the blood around the body) What is the purpose of the valves: unidirectional flow, prevents backflow of blood. What are the atrioventricular valves? formed by double fold of endocardium: lies between atria and ventricles, tricuspid (right side) has 3 flaps, bicuspid (left side) (mitral valve) has 2 cusps.
