Document Summary
Outline: describe the orientation and location of the heart in the thorax, describe the structural coverings of the heart; distinguish between the fibrous pericardium, parietal pericardium, and visceral pericardium. Outline: 3 component of cardiovascular system, heart: pumps blood, arteries: carries blood away from the heart, veins: carries blood twards the heart. Route between heart & lungs that allows blood to pick up oxygen: right ventricle of heart, pulmonary trunk and arteries, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium of heart. Route between heart & tissues of the body (other than the lungs) that brings oxygen out to cells: left ventricle of heart, aorta and branches, cells of body, veins, right atrium. Cq: a heart defect where the great vessels (aorta & pulmonary trunk) are transposed (switched). The blood leaving the right ventricle would never get to the lungs. The blood leaving the left ventricle would travel to the lungs. Heart: multilayered and contained w/in a pericardial sac known as pericardium.
