Blood Flow and Cardiac Function

Front

Blood flow through the cardiac valves

Back

The sequence is: Tricuspid, Pulmonic, Mitral, Aortic.

Front

Function of SVC

Back

SVC is venous, carrying deoxygenated blood to the heart.

Front

Pathway of deoxygenated blood

Back

SVC → Right atrium → Tricuspid valve → Right ventricle → Pulmonary valve → Pulmonary artery → Lungs

Front

Pathway of oxygenated blood

Back

Lungs → Pulmonary vein → Left atrium → Mitral valve → Left ventricle → Aortic valve → Aorta → Body

Front

Oxygenated blood in arteries

Back

Oxygenated blood is found in all arteries except the pulmonary artery.

Front

Diagram of blood flow through the cardiac valves

Back

Illustrates the flow of blood through the heart valves: Tricuspid, Pulmonic, Mitral, Aortic.

Front

Peripheral Vascular Disease: Oxygenation

Back

Oxygenate with arterial and fluid with venous.

Front

Cause of Peripheral Arterial Disease

Back

Hypertension causes peripheral arterial disease by vasoconstriction and not enough oxygenated blood to feet.

Front

Venous Disease and Edema

Back

Venous disease hypertension causes edema by hydrostatic pressure and pushes the fluid out veins.

Front

Effect of Aging on Venous Valves

Back

Aging causes venous valves to become incompetent and can't contract as well.
