Pregunta Respuesta
Structure of the Heart
Single Circulatory System Blood only passes through heart once
Double Circulatory System Blood passes through heart twice
Atrio-Ventricular Valves Link atria to ventricles
Semi-Lunar Valves Link Ventricles to the pulmonary artery and aorta
Hydrostatic Pressure Pressure created by a fluid pushing against the side of a container arteries/ capillaries
Cardiac Cycle Ongoing sequence of contraction and relaxation of atria and ventricles that keeps blood continuously circulating around the body.
Systole Cardiac Concentration
Diastole Cardiac Relaxation
ECG Electrocardiogram. Graph showing the electrical activity of the heart muscle during a cycle
Electrocardiograph Machine which records the electrical activity of the heart by tracking changes in electrical charge using electrodes placed on the chest - depolarises and repolarises
Electrocardiogram (ECG) Trace produced by electrocardiograph
P Wave Caused by contraction (depolarisation) of atria
Depolarisation Losing electrical charge - contraction
Repolarisation Regaining charge - relaxation
QRS Complex Main peak of heartbeat contraction (depolarisation) of ventricles
T wave Relaxation (repolarisation) of ventricles
What is blood made up of? - Red blood cells - White blood cells - Platelets - Plasma
How does the blood clot at/to form an open wound? Fibrinogin forms a web (scab) when exposed to air to protect the cut to protect the red blood cells from escaping.
