Q

Lymphatic vessels from anterior thoracic wall (and the medial breast) drainage pathway

A
  • Anterior thoracic wall (and medial breast) lymphatic vessels drain into parastertnal lymph nodes (which are associated with internal thoracic vessels) (at lymph node they are filtered of debris)
  • then drains into bronchomediastinal trunks
  • then drains into subclavian veins

Q

What does the pectinate muscles do?

A

Move the last bit of blood from atria to ventricle

31
Q

Indentation in the right atrium ?

A

Fossa ovalis

32
Q

Features of the fossa ovalis

A
  • covered with connective tissue
  • interatrial septum ?
  • feral blood flow?
33
Q

Whats going on in the fetal heart?

A
  • circulation bypasses the lungs (oxygenated blood is coming from the ambilical cord)
  • foramen ovale is a hole connecting right and left atria
  • ductus arteriosus is an artery connecting the pulmonary artery and aorta (in the superior mediasteinum

Both close after birth (the first breath)
- foramen ovale becomes the fossa ovalis
- ductus arteriosis becomes ligamentum arteriossum

34
Q

Where does the right ventricle pump blood to?

A

Lungs, pulmonary trunk, arteries

35
Q

Where does the left ventricle pump blood to?

A

To the rest of body, ascending aorta

36
Q

Which side has a larger muscular wall?

A

Left

37
Q

What is the particular muscle arrangement of the heart walls?

A

Trabeculae carnae (function to add to strong muscle contraction without adding too much muscle mass)

38
Q

What do papillary muscles do

A

Attach cordanae tendinae to the ventricle wall

39
Q

What are chordae tendinae ?

A
  • heart strings that attach onto AV valves
40
Q

Function of cordage tendinae and papillary muscle

A

Stop AV valves from opening backwards into the atria

41
Q

What is the name of the semilunar valve on the right?

A

Pulmonary valve

42
Q

What is the name of the semilunar valve on the left

A

aortic valve
