Pericarditis – Inflammation of the pericardium Roughens the serous membrane surfaces Causes the beating heart to rub against pericardial sac Creates a pericardial friction rub heard with a stethoscope Can cause sever pain and inflammatory build up of fluid putting pressure on the heart causing a condition known as cardiac tamponade  Treated by inserting a needle into the pericardial cavity and draining off excess fluid

Figure 18.9 1 Blood returning to the heart fills atria, putting pressure against atrioventricular valves; atrioventricular valves are forced open. 1 Ventricles contract, forcing blood against atrioventricular valve cusps. 2 As ventricles fill, atrioventricular valve flaps hang limply into ventricles. 2 Atrioventricular valves close. 3 Atria contract, forcing additional blood into ventricles. 3 Papillary muscles contract and chordae tendineae tighten, preventing valve flaps from everting into atria.

26. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 18.10 As ventricles contract and intraventricular pressure rises, blood is pushed up against semilunar valves, forcing them open. As ventricles relax and intraventricular pressure falls, blood flows back from arteries, filling the cusps of semilunar valves and forcing them to close.

Pathway of Blood Through the Heart The heart is actually two side-by-side pumps Right side is the pump for the pulmonary circuit  Vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs Left side is the pump for the systemic circuit  Vessels that carry the blood to and from all body tissues

Pathway of Blood Through the Heart Equal volumes of blood are pumped to the pulmonary and systemic circuits Pulmonary circuit is a short, low-pressure circulation Systemic circuit blood encounters much resistance in the long pathways Anatomy of the ventricles reflects these differences
