15.2: Structure of the Heart
      A. Describe the heart (shape, chambers)
     Size and Location of the Heart
      A. Name the cavity where the heart is found.
     Coverings of the Heart
      A. Name the three coverings of the heart. Be able to identify them in a figure.
    Wall of the Heart
      A. Name the three walls of the heart and their function. Be able to identify them in a figure.
     Heart Chambers and Valves
      A. Identify the four chambers of the heart and from where they receive blood.
     Review Table 15.2
     Review Figure 15.6
     Skeleton of the Heart
A. What constitutes the skeleton of the heart?
     Path of Blood Through the Heart
            Review Figure 15.10 (Know the flow of blood, what happens in the pulmonary circuit and what happens in the systemic circuit)
     Blood Supply to the Heart
            A. What arteries supply blood to the heart?
            Review Figure 15.13
15.3: Heart Actions
      A. Describe how atria and ventricles contract and relax.
Review Figure 15.16
     Cardiac Cycle
      A. During a cardiac cycle, the pressure in the heart chambers rise and falls
       B. Know the steps in atrial systole and ventricular diastole.
            C. Know the steps in ventricular systole and atrial diastole.
     Heart Sounds
      A. To what correspond the “lubb” and “dupp” sounds?
       B. What is a murmur?
     Cardiac Muscle Fibers
      A. What is a functional syncytium?
     Cardiac Conduction System
A. What is the cardiac conduction system and what is its function?
Review Figure 15.18 and 15.19
     Electrocardiogram
A. What is an electrocardiogram?
             B. Describe the ECG waves.
     Regulation of the Cardiac Cycle
      A. What node controls the heart rate?
B. How sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers help control the heart rate?
            Review Figure 15.24
15.4: Blood Vessels
      A.  Describe the blood vessels of the cardiovascular system (arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins) in terms if their function.
                Review concept maps
 15.5: Blood Pressure
A. What is blood pressure?
     Arterial Blood Pressure
      A. What is arterial blood pressure?
     B. Where can arterial blood pressure be felt as a pulse?
     Venous Blood Flow
A. Venous blood flow is dependent on what actions?
     Central Venous Pressure
A. What is central venous pressure and how it affects peripheral veins?
15.6: Paths of Circulation
      A. Describe the pulmonary circuit.
                 Review Figure 15.40
            Review Figure 15.41
     Systemic Circuit
A. Describe the systemic circuit.
15.7: Arterial System
            Review Figure 15.51
15.8: Venous System
            Review Figure 15.58
     Characteristics of Venous Pathways
A. Why are venous system pathways difficult to follow?
15.9: Lifespan Changes
      A. Name at least three life-span changes of the cardiovascular system.
