ANATOMY

AN APPROACH

DR LEONARD MUHANGO
THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
ANATOMICAL POSITION OF THE HEART AND LIST ITS
IMPORTANT RELATIONS
‘PERICARDIUM’ AND NAME THE ANATOMICAL PARTS
OF THE PERICARDIUM
CHAMBERS OF THE HEART AND THE GREAT VESSELS
ASSOCIATED WITH EACH CHAMBER
THE PULMONARY AND SYSTEMIC CIRCULATIONS
THE CORONARY CIRCULATION INCLUDING THE ORIGIN,
COURSE AND BRANCHES/ TRIBUTARIES OF THE BLOOD
VESSELS
HEART VALVES AND DESCRIBE THEIR LOCATION
CONDUCTING SYSTEM OF THE HEART BY LISTING THE
STRUCTURES THROUGH WHICH AN ELECTRICAL IMPULSE
PASSES
THREE LAYERS WHICH FORM THE WALL OF A BLOOD
VESSEL AND GIVE THE FUNCTION OF EACH LAYER
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
NAME THE ORGANS FORMING THE RESPIRATORY
PASSAGEWAY(S)
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
• Functionally, the system consists of two zones.
• ■ The respiratory zone, the actual site of gas exchange, is
composed of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and
alveoli, all microscopic structures.
• ■ The conducting zone includes all other respiratory passageways,
which provide fairly rigid conduits for air to reach the gas exchange
sites.
• The conducting zone organs also cleanse, humidify, and warm
incoming air. As a result, air reaching the lungs has fewer irritants
(dust, bacteria, etc.) than when it entered the body, and it is warm
and damp
