Card preview (13)

#1
Front (Question)

atrial and ventricular diastole

Back (Answer)

the AV valves are opened, the SL valves are closed

#2
Front (Question)

atrial systole (the atrial kick)

Back (Answer)

accounts for 10-30% of cardiac output. the AV valves are open and the SL valves are closed. at the end, the AV valves close due to increased pressure in the ventricles. this creates the lub (s1).

#3
Front (Question)

ventricular systole

Back (Answer)

the ventricles contract while the atria are in diastole. ventricular pressure overcomes atrial pressure, which opens the SL valves and closes the AV. when the SL valves close at the end due to increased atrial pressure, the dub (s2) occurs. all valves close at the end of this stage.

#4
Front (Question)

ventricular diastole

Back (Answer)

atria and ventricles are diastolic. when atrial pressure rises over ventricular pressure, AV valves open.

#5
Front (Question)

circumflex

Back (Answer)

circles around the lateral wall to the left lateral/posterior wall.

#6
Front (Question)

left anterior descending artery

Back (Answer)

goes to the left anterior wall

#7
Front (Question)

right main coronary artery

Back (Answer)

starts at the right ventricle, goes to the left interior/posterior wall.

#8
Front (Question)

what is the position of the AV valves during ventricular systole

Back (Answer)

closed.

#9
Front (Question)

when the AV valves close what direction do they move? when they open?

Back (Answer)

up. down.

#10
Front (Question)

what is the position of the AV valves during ventricular diastole

Back (Answer)

open

#11
Front (Question)

what is the position of the SL valves during ventricular systole

Back (Answer)

open

#12
Front (Question)

what is the position of the SL valves during ventricular diastole

Back (Answer)

closed

#13
Front (Question)

when the SL valves close what direction do they move? when they open?

Back (Answer)

downward. upward.
