mediastinum

A

It contains the heart, the great vessels of the heart, the esophagus, the trachea, the phrenic nerve, the cardiac nerve, the thoracic duct, the thymus, and the lymph nodes of the central chest.surrounded by loose connective tissue. superior and inferior portions divide at T4/T5

Q

Contrast the visceral and parietal pleura.

Q

what is the dividing point between the great cardiac vein and the coronary sinus?

A

the oblique vein of Marshall (aka the oblique vein of the left atrium)

96
Q

what is a myocardial infarction? What happens?

A

necrotic myocardiuma heart attack: when an embolus occludes a vessel and blocks blood flow to the heart (ie. in acoronary artery) thus leading to necrosis of that part of the heart due to lack of oxygen

97
Q

what are the three most common sites of coronary artery occlusion?

A

anterior IV (LAD) branch of the LCA (aka the “widow-maker”)right coronary artery (RCA)circumflex branch of the LCA

98
Q

How can a coronary occlusion affect the conducting system?

A

if the RCA is blocked, blood supply to the SA and AV node could be dirupted and cause aheart block(a problem with the heart’s electrical system)

99
Q

what is a heart block? what is the resulting effect?

A

damage to the heart’s electrical systemit can change the rate and rhythm of the heart rate

A

the ligamentam arteriosus (previously the ductus arteriosus)

103
Q

if you sweep your hand up and behind the heart but stop right behind the veins, there is your hand located?

A

in the oblique pericardial sinus

104
Q

(T/F) The pulmonary valve is attached to the cardiac skeleton.

A

False. the pulmonary valve is not attached.

what is valvular stenosis?

A

the failure of a valve to fully open so that blood flow is slowed

114
Q

what is valvular insufficiency?

A

the valves do not shut completely therefore blood flow regurgitates.Nodule formation also arises along with scarring or conrtaction of the cusps. This prevents the valve from sealing properly.

Q

When valvular insufficiency or stenosis is present, what effect does it have on the heart?

A

The heart has an increased workload

116
Q

what is a murmur? what causes it?

A

murmurs are audible vibrations caused by small whirlpools (eddies) resulting from turbulence. turbulence usually arises from stenosis or regurgitation)
