ANATOMY LT3 - HEART AND MEDIASTINUM Flashcards
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA (FORMED BY TWO VEINS)
THE UNION OF THE RIGHT AND LEFT BRACHIOCEPHALIC VEINS
INFERIOR VENA CAVA (PERFORATES WHAT STRUCTURE)
WHAT VEIN PERFORATES THE CENTRAL TENDON OF THE DIAPHRAGM AND PERICARDIUM)
PERICARDIAL SAC (is made up of what two structures)
Fibrous Pericardium and Serous Pericardium (make up what structure)
INTERNAL JUGULAR AND SUBCLAVIAN VEINS
TWO VEINS THAT MAKE UP THE BRACHIOCEPHALIC VEIN
THE LEFT AND RIGHT CORONARY ARTERIES (ARE THE BRANCHES OF WHAT ARTERY)
BRANCHES OF THE ASCENDING AORTA
VISCERAL LAYER
The external layer of the heart wall Epicardium
PERICARDIAL CAVITY
between the parietal and visceral pericardial layers
RIGHT VENOUS ANGLE
ORIGIN OF THE RIGHT BRACHIOCEPHALIC VEIN
SUPERIOR AND INFERIOR
DIVISIONS OF MEDIASTINUM
PERICARDIAL CAVITY (function)
enables the heart to move and beat in a frictionless environment
RIGHT ATRIUM
DRAINS THE SUPERIOR VENA CAVA
PERICARDIUM FLUID
space between fibrous and serous layer protects the heart from any kind of external jerk or shock
DRAINS THE RIGHT VENOUS ANGLE
RIGHT LYMPHATIC DUCT (RECIEVES WHAT VEIN)
MEDIASTINAL PLEURA
Covers each side of mediastinum
LEFT VENOUS ANGLE
ORIGIN OF LEFT BRACHIOCEPHALIC VEIN
* HEART & LARGE BLOOD VESSELS * TRACHEA & ESOPHAGUS * THORACIC DUCT & LYMPH NODES * VAGUS & PHRENIC NERVES * REMNANTS OF THYMUS
