1.Describethestructureandfunctionofthehumanheart.
A.TheHeart
1.Thecentralorganofthecardiovascularsystemistheheart,themuscularorganthatpumpsbloodthroughanintricatenetworkofbloodvessels
a.Theheartlieswithinthethoracic(chest)cavity,behindthesternum(breastbone)andbetweenthetwolungs

2.Aseptumverticallydividestheheartintotwosides
a.Therightsidepumpsbloodtothelungs,andtheleftsidepumpsbloodtotheotherpartsofthebody
b.Eachsideoftheheartisdividedintoanupperandlowerchamber
c.Eachupperchamberiscalledanatrium,andeachlowerchamberiscalledaventricle
3.Aone-wayvalveseparateseachatriumfromtheventriclebeneathit
a.Thesevalvesarecalledatrioventricular(AV)valves
