Q

Right Atrium

A
  • The right atrium is the superior right chamber.
  • It receives deoxygenated blood from the body’s main veins- the superior vena cava, and the coronary sinus.
  • These veins drain a series of blood vessels collectively called the systemic circuit, in which gases & nutrients are exchanged between the blood & the tissue cells.

Q

Right Ventricle

A
  • The right ventricle is a larger chamber inferior to the right atrium, from which it receives deoxygenated blood.
  • It ejects blood into a vessel called the pulmonary trunk, or the pulmonary artery.
  • The pulmonary trunk branches into right & left pulmonary arteries, which deliver deoxygenated blood to the lungs through a series of vessels collectively called the pulmonary circuit.
  • Within the pulmonary circuit, gases are exchanged, & the blood becomes oxygenated.

Q

Left Atrium

A
  • The superior left chamber.
  • It receives oxygenated blood returning from the pulmonary circuit via four pulmonary veins.
30
Q

Left Ventricle

A
  • Receives oxygenated blood from the left atrium & pumps it into the largest artery in the systemic circuit, the aorta.
  • The aorta then branches repeatedly to deliver the oxygenated blood to the body’s cells.
  • Note that the left ventricle is considerably thicker than the right ventricle, reflecting the fact that the pressure is much higher in the systemic circuit than it is in the pulmonary circuit.
  • The higher pressure requires the left ventricle to pump harder, and thus it is thicker.

Q

A

AV Valves

  1. Tricuspid Valve (Right AV Valve)
  2. Bicuspid Valve (Left AV Valve) (Mitral Valve)

Q

Pulmonary Valve

A

OPEN: Right Ventricle to pulmonary trunk (Right & Left Pulmonary Arteries)

40
Q

Aortic Valve

A

OPEN: Left Ventricle to Aorta

41
Q

Coronary Circulation

A
  • The portion of the systemic circulation supplying blood to the myocardium (In coronary arteries) and draing the myocardium (in cardiac veins).
  • The right & left coronary arteries are the first branches of the aorta.
  • Deoxygenated blood in the cardiac veins flows into the coronary sinus (a large, thin-walled vein on the posterior heart), which empties into the right atrium.
42
Q

Myocardial Infarction

A

It happens when blood stops flowing properly to part of the heart and the heart muscle is injured due to not receiving enough oxygen. Usually this is because one of the coronary arteries that supplies blood to the heart develops a blockage due to an unstable buildup of white blood cells, cholesterol and fat.
