pulmonary and aortic semilunar valves
-Thru the tricuspid valve
-Into R ventricle
-Thru pulmonary valve
-To pulmonary arteries to lungs
-There are tiny capillaries and thin walls so O2 and CO2 can pass over through Osmosis
-Thru pulmonary veins
-Into L atrium
-Past Mitral (bicuspid ) valve
-Into L ventricle
-Out the aorta (largest artery in the body)
-The aorta after descending past the diaphragm is known as the abdominal aorta
Conduction Phase – Systole
-These 2 phases together make up the cardiac cycle.
R atrium fills with blood and contracts, pushing open the tricuspid valve (this allows blood to flow into the R ventricle).
At the same time, blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary veins into the L atrium . (blood fills L atrium prior to atrial contraction).
Atrial contraction forces mitral valve to open to allow blood to flow into L ventricle.
Blood from R ventricle is pushed into the lungs to exchange O2 and CO2.
Blood from the L ventricle is pushed thru the aorta to be distributed throughout the body.
this will increase the cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped out of the heart into the rest of the body)
2) reduces the number of electrical impulses transmitted onto the ventricles,
this is important if the SA node is firing too fast
