Q

Where does the Sino-atrial nodal artery come from?

A

It can come from the right or the left.

Q

What can be done if the original left/right arteries have obstruction and creates ischemic tissue distal to the obstruction?

A

Coronary Artery Bypass GRAFT

Vessels from other parts of the body come and connect the aorta, and reconnect distal to the obstruction to re-establish a circulation.

Q

28
Q

What is the fossa ovalis?

A

The remanant of the opening that made the atriums communicate in embryogenesis. A membrane closes this space but not muscle.

29
Q

Identify these structures.

A
  1. Septal cusp of the tricuspid
  2. Posterior cusp of the tricuspid
  3. Anterior cusp of the tricuspid

  5. Right cusp (of the pulmonary valve)
  6. Anterior cusp (of the pulmonary valve)
  7. Left cusp (of the pulmonary valve)

8&9. Papillary muscles to pull cusp (in order to prevent prolapse of cusps in atrium when V contracts)

30
Q

Which ventricle has only 2 papillary muscles instead of 3?

A

Left ventricle

31
Q

LEFT VENTRICLE - identify plz.

A
  1. Posterior Cusp of mitral valve
  2. Anterior Cusp of mitral valve
  3. Chordae tendinae
  4. Left Atrium
  5. Papillary muscle (with shared corda tendinae between 2 cusps)
32
Q

Identify those structures (aussi celle en haut a gauche en bleu)

A

Bleu : superior vena cava
Rouge: aorta
Yellow: vagus nerve
Black: esophagus

Green: thoracic duct

Blue on the right image: azygous vein

33
Q

What happens if you damage a papillary muscle of the mtiral valve?

A

The cusps of the mitral valve (the 2 of them) can still move because both of them are also attached with the other papillary muscle.

34
Q

By what mechanism does the blood enter the RV?

A

By negative pressure –> vacuum effect from the right atrium to the right ventricle.

35
Q

What happens to the mitral valve and tricuspid valve during systole?

A

They close.

36
Q

Why does the aortic valve close when the blood is passing from RA to RV?

A

So the blood that has just been pumped does not come back in RV.

37
Q

During the filling of the ventricle (diastole), are the papillary muscles relaxed or contracted?

A

Relaxed.

38
Q

What is the role of papillary muscles during systole?

A

Since the blood now in the ventricle wants to go back to the atrium, the papillary muscles will opposite the effect of blood and pull the cusps toward the apex of the heart.

39
Q

How does the blood go from the aorta to the coronary arteries?

A

When the aortic valve is closed, it opens up the small openings from the coronary arteries - that were hidden by the parts of the valve when it is open.

SO, coronary arteries have flow during the diastole & do not have flow during systole.

40
Q

Concerning the speed of the HB: what do the para & sympa systems do

A

Para: slow down

Sympa: increase

41

Where does the fluid drained from all lower limbs accumulate before going to the thoracic duct?

A

Cisterna chyli

49
Q

What is the biggest lymphatic vessel in the body?

A

Thoracic Duct

50
Q

Vagus nerve belongs to which system?

A

Parasympathetic

51
Q

Is it the left or right vagus nerve who comes anterior to the aorta, anterior to the esophagus? What name does it change to when it becomes anterior to the esophagus?

A

Left vagus nerve, and it becomes the anterior vagal trunk

52
Q

Where does the right vagus nerve run?

A

Posterior to the right stem bronchus, and then posterior to the esophagus

53
Q

Where does the recurrent laryngeal nerve run on the left?

A

On the surface of the arch of the aorta (anterior) and then under it until it goes back paratracheally to the larynx.

54
Q

Where does the recurrent laryngeal nerve run on the right?

A

Anterior to the brachiocephalic trunk, then under it, goes back up paratracheally to the larynx.

55
Q

What nerve is formed from nerves from T5 to t9?

A

Great splanchnic nerve

56
Q

What nerve origins from T10-11?

A

Lesser splanchnic nerve

57
Q

Identify those structures.

A
  1. Right phrenic nerve
  2. Sympathetic chain
  3. Trachea
  4. Azygos vein
  5. Right vagus nerve
  6. Esophagus

58
Q

What are the targets of Sympathetic system?

A

T1 to L2

59
Q

What is the pathway of a fiber until it reaches the ganglion for the sympathetic system?

A

Fiber travels with the intercostal nerve

Leaves it to synapse with a ganglion

White ramus communications

Modulation in the ganglion

Goes back to the intercostal nerve by the grey ramus communications

60
Q

Why would someone have referred pain if injury to the heart?

A

Cardiac nerve concerns dermatome t1-2-3-4. The brain does not know if the pain is coming from the heart or the skin - the pain is traveling through the automnic fibers and then in the same pathway as fibers of the corresponding dermatome.
