HSES 269 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Bronchiole, Sinoatrial Node, Capillary
Document Summary
Know the functions of the cardiovascular system: the cardiovascular system integrates the body as a unit. (cid:224)provides active muscles with continuous stream of nutrients and oxygen (o 2 transport and delivery) (cid:224)removes metabolic byproducts, the maximal limits of aerobic energy transfer are set by: (cid:224)atp synthesis capacity (cid:224)o 2 transport and delivery. Semilunar valves valves that allow blood to exit the ventricles, actually exist in the arterial walls just outside the myocardium and prevent blood flow back into the ventricles (cid:224) right semilunar valve (pulmonary semilunar valve) from right ventricle pulmonary trunk pulm veins (cid:224)left semilunar valve (aortic semilunar valve) from left ventricle ascending aorta aortic arch . Know the parts of the electrocardiogram. (p wave, qrs, t wave: depolarization waves (cid:224)p wave atrial depolarization (cid:224)qrs complex ventricular depolarization, repolarization waves (cid:224)atrial t wave atrial repolarization, usually occurs during qrs; therefore, unnoticeable (cid:224)ventricular t wave ventricular repolarization.
