ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART Anatomy: The heart and heart wall layers: The heart is located in the left side of the mediastinum; it consists of three muscle layers the Endocardium‚ myocardium‚ and epicardium. The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart. The myocardium is the idle layer of and actual contracting muscle of the heart. The endocardium is the innermost layer and lines the inner chambers and heart valves. Pericardial sac: The pericardial sac encases and protects

control of blood flow. 7. To comprehend that changing blood vessel diameter can alter the pumping ability of the heart. 8. To examine the effect of stroke volume on blood flow. _____________________________________________________________ The physiology of human blood circulation can be divided into two distinct but remarkably harmonized processes: (1) the pumping of blood by the heart‚ and (2) the transport of blood to all body tissues via the vasculature‚ or blood vessels. Blood supplies all

Ions in the body break up into positive and negative ions and form a solution called an electrolyte. Dr.Kim was worried about Eugene’s electrolytes in regard to his heart and brain because they control nerve and muscle impulses. B. Bicarbonate will get rid of the excess hydrogen ions and return his blood to normal. C. Eugene’s vitals are: pulse rate 110/min‚ blood pressure

air is breathed to fuel 2‚400 gallons of blood that is pumped into the heart. Respiration is controlled by the medulla oblongata‚ which deals with the autonomic function of breathing. This characteristic allows one to breathe without having to think about the process but can also be overridden and controlled in certain situations. As a result of respiration‚ carbon dioxide is produced where it is removed for oxygen to be restored. The purpose

The Endocrine System Controls many body functions ~exerts control by releasing special chemical substances into the blood called hormones ~Hormones affect other endocrine glands or body systems Derives its name from the fact that various glands release hormones directly into the blood‚ which in turn transports the hormones to target tissues via ducts. Exocrine glands-transport their hormones to target tissues via ducts. Endocrine glands- secrete hormones into the bloodstream The Endocrine
