Anatomy and Physiology
Cardiovascular System
Heart
• Cone shaped
• Muscular
• Large arteries and
veins continuous at
base
• Surrounded by
pericardium
Myocardium
• Muscular part of heart
• Forms walls for the
chambers
• When muscle fibers
contract, blood is
ejected from the
chambers
Heart Valves
• Located between the atria and
ventricles are called
atrioventricular (A-V) valves
• Valve on right = tricuspid valve
(3 cusps)
• Valve on left = bicuspid valves
(2 cusps)
• Prevent expulsion of
ventricular blood into atria
when ventricles contract
Blood Flow Through the Heart
• Blood from the body flows to the superior and
inferior vena cava
–
–
–
–
–
–
then to the right atrium
through the tricuspid valve
to the right ventricle
through the pulmonic valve
to the pulmonary artery
to the lungs
•Why does blood need to go to the lungs
before it goes to the rest of the body?
Blood Flow Through the Heart
The blood picks up oxygen in the lungs, and
then flows from the lungs
– to the pulmonary veins
– to the left atrium
– through the mitral valve
– to the left ventricle
– through the aortic valve
– to the aorta
– to the body

Blood Pressure
(measured in millimeters of mercury)
• Systolic BP
– top number
– measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats (when the
heart muscle contracts)
• Diastolic BP
– bottom number
– measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats (when the
heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood)
