What are the four ventricles of the ventricular system?
the different types of ventricles are the left ventricle and the right ventricle.
When the atria contract ahead of time is called?
Premature Ventricular Contractions
What are the valves between the atria and the ventricles called?
Atrio-ventricular valves
What structure divides the left atrium and left ventricle?
the septum divides the teo ventricles of the heart.
This valve is named after bishops'miter and prevents blood from entering the left atria during ventricular systole?
mitral valve
The upper chambers of the heart are called what?
The left and right atrium (or atria).
Is systolic pressure where the ventricls are relaxing?
Relaxation = Diastole Contraction of the atria=Atrial systole Contraction of the ventricles = Ventricular systole
What happens if the AV node is damaged or non functional?
There is no coordination between the atria and the ventricles, and ventricular filling can become compromised.
Superior heart chambers?
Atria (left and right)
What is the vavle that stops blood from flowing back into the right atrium?
A atrio-ventricular valve is the structure that stops blood flowing backwards into the atria. There is one of these valves on both the left and right sides of the heart.
What are three septums of the heart?
interatrial (between the atria) interventricular (between the ventricles) atrio-ventricular (between the atria and the ventricles) So, each chamber is separated by a septum
What separates the left and right side of hearts?
The septum.
