1- Cardiovascular Anatomy Flashcards
double-walled firoserous sac which encloses the heart and roots of great vessels
pericardium
which layer of pericardium is fused to central tendon of diaphragm
fibrous pericardium
which layer of pericardium is inelastic and protects against overfilling
fibrous pericardium
fused to internal surface of the fibrous pericardium
parietal layer of serous pericardium
aka epicardium
visceral layer of serous pericardium
where is apex located?
left 5th intercostal space
which heart chamber corresponds to apex?
left ventricle
which heart chamber corresponds to the sternocostal/anterior surface?
right ventricle
which heart chambers correspond to the diaphragmatic/inferior surface?
both ventricles, primarily the left
which heart chambers correspond to the left/pulmonary surface?
left ventricle, occupies the cardiac notch
right border is…
right 3rd costal cartilage to right 6th costal cartilage
inferior border is..
right 6th costal cartilage to left 5th intercostal space
left border is …
left 5th intercostal space to left second costal cartilage
superior border is…
left 2nd costal cartilage to right 3rd costal cartilage
what chamber corresponds with right border?
right atrium
what chambers correspond with inferior border?
right ventricle and apex of left ventricle
what chambers correspond with left border?
left ventricle and left auricle
what chambers correspond with superior border?
right and left auricles and conus arteriosus
provides barrier between atrial and ventricles for conductive system..
cardiac skeleton
what attaches to the cardiac skeleton
heart valves and myocardium
attaches aortic to pulmonary semilunar valves
tendon of conus arteriosus
attaches mitral valve to aortic semilunar valves
left fibrous trigone
attaches atrioventricular valves to aortic semilunar valves
right fibrous trigone
