Q

what is the pericardium

A
  • has 3 layers (usually just 2 i think)
  • superficial fibrous pericardium:
    • protects, anchord nd prevents overfilling
    • considered the “extra” layer
  • Deep two layered serous pericardium
    • parietal layer of serous pericardium
      • lines cavity
    • Visceral layer of serous pericardium
      • on heart
      • aka epicardium

*Pericardial cavity is between the parietal and visceral layers of serous pericardium

Q

describe the second layer of the heart wall

what does it make up

A
  • spiral bundles of cardiac muscle (spiral so when it contracts it squeezes the blood out)
  • makes up fibrous skeleton of the heart: crisscrossing, interlacing layer of connective issue that
  • > limits spread of AP to specific paths
  • > anchors cardiac muscle fibers
  • > supports great vessels & valves (pathways into and out of heart)

A
  • Base
    • at top
    • is posterior and directed towards right shoulder
    • mainly located in left atrium
  • Apex

Q

superficial anatomy of atria

A

*atria are receiving chambers

  • Coronary sulcus (atrioventricular groove): encircles junction of atria and ventricles (aka separates atria from ventricles)
  • Auricles increase atrial volume: closet of heart, gives more room for blood

Q

describe the internal anatomy of the atria

A
  • interatrial septum: separates left/right atria

Pectinate muscles: muscles ridges that lines walls of aria

Fossa Ovalis: fetal remnant of foramen ovale (in fetal circulation blood goes from L->R atrium, skips lungs)

Q

What are the receiving chambers in the atria

A
  • Vessels entering right atrium (3)
    • coronary sinus (blood ocming back from heart itself)
    • inferior vena cava (blood from inferior of diaphragm
    • superior vena cava
  • Vessels entering left atrium (4)
    • left superior and inferior pulmonary veins
    • right superior and inferior pulmonary veins

Q

what lines the walls of the ventricles

A

trabeculae carneae

aka meat lattice

  • ruffles on walls, made of myocardium

(all trabeculae carneae made of myocardium, but not all cyocardium is trabeculae carneae)

Q

what do heart valves do?

What heart valves does our body have?

A
  • ensure unidirectional blood flow through heart
  • two sets:
  • > Atrioventricular (AV) valves (btwn atira & ventricles)
  • > Semilunar values (btwn ventricles and great vessels (pulmonary trunk and aorta)
17
Q

what are the AV valves in the body?

How are they anchored?

A

two AV values:

  • > Tricuspid valve: Between right atria + right ventricle
  • > Mitral (bicuspid) valve: Between left atria + left ventricle

*try b4 u buy, goes through tricuspid then bicuspid)

  • anchord to papillary musclces by chordae tendineae
18
Q

what causes the AV valves to open?

A
  • when atrial pressure > ventricular pressure
    1. blood returning to heart fills atria -> puts pressure against AV valves forcing them to open
    2. as ventricles fill, AV valve flaps hang limply into ventricles
    3. Atria contract forcing additional blood into ventricles
19
Q

what causes the AV valves to close

A

atrial pressure < ventricular pressure

  1. ventricles contract, forcing blood against AV valve cusps
  2. AV valves close
  3. Papillary muscles contract & chordae tendineae tightens -> preventing valve flaps from everting into atria
20
Q

what are the semilunar valves of the heart

A

aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves

*named after the vessel they are found in

*3 cusps

21
Q

what causes the semilunar valves to open

A
  • ventricles contract & intraventricular pressure inc

blood is pushed against semilunar vlaes forcing them open

*flatten against the walls

22
Q

what causes the semilunar valves to close

A
  • ventricles relax and intraventricular pressure dec
  • blood flows back from arteries filling cusps of semilunar valves -> forces them closed
23
Q

overiew of how blood is pumped through heart

A
  1. O2 poor blood from body enters heart -> enters from SVC, IVC and coronary sinus
  2. blood enters right atrium then goes through tricuspid valve
  3. enters right ventricle, contracts and opens pulmonary semilunar valve
  4. exits via pulmonary trunk to lungs to be oxygenated
  5. O2 rich blood returns to heart via 4 pulmonary veins
  6. blood from 4 pulmonary veins empty into left atrium, press agsint mitral valve
  7. goes thru mitral valve and enters left ventricle, deos out aortic semilunar valve

. O2 rich blood goes into systemic circularion

24
Q

blood goes through pulmonary vs systemic circuits

A

equal volumes of blod are pumped to pulmonary and systemic

  • pulmonary circuit is short, low pressure -> not a lot of resistance and lugns are close to less meaty right ventricle
  • systemic cirucit encounters much more resistance in long pathways

*left ventricle much thicker

25
Q

left ventricle blood is going to ____

right ventricle blood is going to ____

A

left -> going to body

right -> going to lungs

26
Q

what is coronary circulation

A

how blood gets to the heart itself

  • 5% of cardiac output
  • arterial supply varies considerable & contains many anastomoses (junctions for redundency) among branchs
  • collateral routes provide addtional routes for blood delivery
27
Q

what are the arteries associated with coronary circulation?

A
  • Right coronary artery: comes of aorta on RS, runs between right atria and ventricle
    • right coronary artery anastaomses with circumflex artery
    • right marginal artery
    • posterior inerventricular artery
      • anastomoses with anterior interventriuclar artery
  • Left coronary artery: short and splits into
    • anterior interventricular artery
      • anastomoses with posterior inerventricular artery
    • circumflex artery
      • left marginal artery
28
Q

describe the viens involves in coronary circulation

A
  • sueprior vena cava
  • coronar sinus
  • anterior cardiac veins (dont go into coronary sinus, drain blood into right atrium)
  • small cardiac vein (starts twds apex, runs right margin of right venticle)

great cardian vein

  • middle cardiac vein
29
Q

what is coronary bypass surgery

A

put in a new vessel to bypass a clot in an artery

30
Q

if completely block right marginal artery, you would prevent blood from reaching:

A

right ventricle

31
Q

what vein drains the right marginal artery

A

small cardiac vein

32
Q

what vein drains the right coronary artery

A

anterior and small cardiac vein

33
Q

what vein drains the posterior interventricular artery

A

middle cardiac vein

34
Q

what vein drains the left coronary artery

A

N/A

35
Q

what vein drains the anterior interventricular artery

A

great caridac ein

36
Q

what vein drains the cirumflex artery

A

great cardiac vein
