Q

what separates the base and diaphragmatic surfaces?

A

coronary sinus

17
Q

what is the first branch of the aorta?

A

coronary arteries

18
Q

what is the coronary sinus?

A

short venous conduit which receives deoxygenated blood from most of the cardiac veins and drains into the right atrium.

19
Q

what divides the heart into a right and left side?

A

a septum

20
Q

what is the part of the septum between the 2 atria called?

A

interatrial septum

21
Q

what is the part of the septum between the 2 ventricles called?

A

interventricular septum

22
Q

what is an atrial/ventricular septal defect?

A

a hole in the interatrial/interventricular septum

23
Q

what does a septal defect do?

A

allows atrial and venous to mix. this reduced the oxygen content of systemic atrial blood in the aorta. this is called hypoxaemia.

24
Q

what is the orgin of the inferior vena cava?

A

L5

25
Q

which vessels merge to form the inferior vena cava?

A

left and right common iliac veins

26
Q

what vessels drain into the inferior vena cava throughout its length?

A

paired segmental lumbar veins

27
Q

what does the right gonadal vein empty into?

A

directly into the vena cava

28
Q

what does the left gonadal vein generally empty into?

A

left renal vein

29
Q

where does the inferior vena cava pierce the diaphragm?

A

at T8

30
Q

What veins does the IVC connect to at T8?

A

hepatic vein, inferior phrenic vein

31
Q

what veins does the IVC join at L1?

A

suprarenal veins and renal veins

32
Q

what vessels does the IVC join at L2?

A

gonadal vein

33
Q

what vessels does the IVC join at L1-5?

A

lumbar veins

34
Q

what vessels does the IVC join at L5?

A

common iliac vein

35
Q

which vessel opens in the left posterior aortic sinus?

A

left coronary artery

36
Q

which vessels opens into the right atrium?

A

coronary sinus

37
Q

which vessel is most commonly associated with the atrioventricular groove?

A

right coronary artery

38
Q

which vessel supplies the AV node?

A

posterior intraventricular artery

39
Q

which vessel supplies the apex of the heart?

A

anterior intraventricular artery
