  2. Ventricular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

    The ventricles contained within the rhombencephalon become the fourth ventricle, and the ventricles contained within the mesencephalon become the aqueduct of Sylvius. Separating the anterior horns of the lateral ventricles is the septum pellucidum : a thin, triangular, vertical membrane which runs as a sheet from the corpus callosum down to the ...

  3. Heart sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_sounds

    These are the first heart sound (S 1) and second heart sound (S 2), produced by the closing of the atrioventricular valves and semilunar valves, respectively. In addition to these normal sounds, a variety of other sounds may be present including heart murmurs , adventitious sounds , and gallop rhythms S 3 and S 4 .

  4. Ventricle (heart) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricle_(heart)

    During systole, the ventricles contract, pumping blood through the body. During diastole, the ventricles relax and fill with blood again. The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from the left atrium via the mitral valve and pumps it through the aorta via the aortic valve, into the systemic circulation. The left ventricular muscle must ...

  5. Cardiac cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_cycle

    This is the ejection stage of the cardiac cycle; it is depicted (see circular diagram) as the ventricular systole–first phase followed by the ventricular systole–second phase. [2] After ventricular pressures fall below their peak(s) and below those in the trunks of the aorta and pulmonary arteries, the aortic and pulmonary valves close ...

  6. Heart development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_development

    This curved shape approaches the heart and finishes its growth on day 28. The conduit forms the atrial and ventricular junctions which connect the common atrium and the common ventricle in the early embryo. The arterial bulb forms the trabecular portion of the right ventricle. A cone will form the infundibula blood of both ventricles.

  7. Systole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systole

    This contraction ends the first stage of systole. The second stage proceeds immediately, pumping oxygenated blood from the left ventricle through the aortic valve and aorta to all body systems, and simultaneously pumping oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle through the pulmonic valve and pulmonary artery to the lungs. Thus, the pairs of ...

  8. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    In the second phase of ventricular diastole, called late ventricular diastole, as the ventricular muscle relaxes, pressure on the blood within the ventricles drops even further. Eventually, it drops below the pressure in the atria. When this occurs, blood flows from the atria into the ventricles, pushing open the tricuspid and mitral valves.

  9. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    The tracings are most commonly arranged in a grid of four columns and three rows. The first column is the limb leads (I, II, and III), the second column is the augmented limb leads (aVR, aVL, and aVF), and the last two columns are the precordial leads (V 1 to V 6). Additionally, a rhythm strip may be included as a fourth or fifth row. [43]
