Study Notes
Heart Function and Circulation
- The main function of the systemic circulation is to transport oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
- Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition that results in abnormal electrical signals causing uneven heartbeats.
Cardiac Cycle
- During the diastole phase, the ventricles passively fill just before the next beat.
- During the atrial contraction phase, the atria contract, forcing blood into the ventricles.
Heart Failure and Circulation
- The primary implication of heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
- Pulmonary circulation transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygen.
- The right ventricle has thicker muscular walls to pump blood through pulmonary circulation.
Heart Structure and Function
- The septum in the heart separates the left and right sides of the heart, allowing for the separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
- The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and sends it to the right ventricle.
- The pulmonary veins receive oxygenated blood from the lungs and deliver it to the left atrium.
