where does the SVC bring blood from and where does it take blood into
from upper body -> SVC -> right atrium
where does the IVC bring blood from and where does it take blood into
from lower body -> IVC -> right atrium
the IVC goes through what structure in the chest cavity before it reaches the right atrium
through the diaphragm
the blood from the heart enters the right atrium via what
coronary sinus
when the atrium contracts in diastole the blood passes forwards through what structure to what chamber
right atrio-ventricular valve/tricuspid valve
into the right ventricle
the blood from lungs move into pulmonary veins to get into what chamber
pulmonary veins into the left ventricle
how many pulmonary veins are there and where are they from
4 total
2 from right lung and 2 from left lung
in diastole blood in the left atrium move past what structure and go into what chamber
through left atrioventricular valve/mitral valve
into left ventricle
when blood passes through the mitral valve, the blood flows in what direction in diastole and systole
diastole = into heart from left atrium
systole = out of left ventricle into the aortic arch
how many cusps does the pulmonary and aortic valves have
3 cusps
the dilation in the trunks of the tricuspid valves origins consists of what 3 things
what does their position match
3 bulges known as sinuses
position matches the position of valve cusps
each cusp has a free border that does what with neighbours
closes against neighbors
in diastole the 3 cusps do what
press against each other to meet exactly at one point
inside the aorta above the valve is located what 2 structures
left and right coronary arteries
the pulmonary trunk passes where in relation to the aorta and what does it do when it has passed the aorta
passes back to the left of the aorta and divides into the left and right pulmonary arteries
the right pulmonary artery curves around what structure of the heart and passes where in relation to the aorta and SVC
curves around left atrium
passes behind the root of the aorta and behind the SVC
what does the right pulmonary artery supply
superior lobe of right lung
the ligamentum arteriosum is the remnant of what structure
what did that structure connect
ductus arteriosus
connected pulmonary trunk and aorta in intra-uterine life
the aorta starts to where in relation to the pulmonary trunk and its beginning is hidden by what
starts to the right of the pulmonary trunk
hidden by epicardial fat
where is the right atrial appendage in relation to the aorta, SVC and pulmonary artery
infront of aorta
SVC is to its right
right pulmonary artery is behind it
