Study Notes
- Heart valves are composed of three pocketlike cusps shaped like a halfmoon, with no associated papillary muscles or tendinous cords.
- Semilunar valves open when ventricles contract, allowing blood to enter arterial trunks, and close when ventricles relax to prevent backflow.
- Flexibility and elasticity of heart valve connective tissue decrease with aging or disease, potentially leading to heart murmurs.
- Cardiomegaly is a condition where the heart is enlarged, impacting blood flow through two circulations: pulmonary and systemic.
- Pulmonary circulation moves blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs for gas exchange, then back to the left side.
- Systemic circulation moves oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to systemic cells, then returns deoxygenated blood to the right side.
- Heart sounds include lubb-dupp sounds, with lubb (S1 sound) from closing of atrioventricular valves and dupp (S2 sound) from closing of semilunar valves.
