Q

Prevent the AV valve from going back to the right atrium.
39

A myocardial infarction may cause prolapse of the related valve.
40
What is another name for the conus arteriosus?
Infundibulum.
41

It has a nodule in the middle of the lip of the cusp. The rest of it is called the laluna.
42
What are the pulmonary sinuses?
The cusps of the pulmonary valves.
43
How many pulmonary veins does a person normally have?
4 pulmonary veins.
44
How many parts does the left atrium have?
2, anterior and posterior. No distinct structure is known to seperate these two parts.
45
What structures are related to the posterior half of the left atrium?
Pulmonary veins.
46
What structures are related to the anterior half of the left atrium.
Musculi pectinati.
47
What is another name for the outflow track for the aorta?
Aortic vestibule.
48
Difference of the trabecula carnae of the left and right ventricles.
Fine and delicate.
49
Which of the two ventricle is more anterior.
Right ventricle is more anteroir.
50
What two parts make up the interventricular septum?
A muscular part and a membranous part. The membranous part is the upper part of the interventricular septum.
51
Remembering the position of the cusps of the aortic and pulmonary valves.
The [A]ortic valve has TWO [A]nterior csps and 1 posterior cusp whereas the [P]ulmonary valve has TWO [P]osterior cusps and 1 anterior cusp.
52
What are the aortic sinuses?
The cusps of the aortic valve which hold blood during diastole.
53
What are the names of the aortic sinuses?
Right, left and posterior. The right and left supply the right and left coronary arteries respectively. The posterior cusp is sometimes referred to as the non coronary sinus.
54
Describe the cardiac skeleton.
The cardiac skeleton contains four rings which surround the tow atrioventicular orifices.
55
Define what annulus means?
A ring like structure. This explains why the rings of the cardiac skeleton are also known as annulus fibrosus.
56
What are the two interconnecting areas between the four rings of the cardiac skeleton?
Right and left fibrous trigones. Aortic ring + right/left antrioventricular rings.
57
List functions of the cardiac skeleton.
Maintain integrity of openings (for e.g. aorta, atrio ventricular orifices), Provides attachments for the cusps, Origination of the atrial and ventricular myocardium, Electrically isolates the atria from the ventricles.
58
Describe the location where the coronary sinus empties into the right atrium.
Between the opening of the inferior vena cava and the right antrioventricular orifice.
59
Describe the location of the coronary sinus?
On the posterior side of the heart in the coronary sulcus.
60
What is meant by cardiac dominance with related to the coronary arteries.
The artery in the patient which supplies the posterior descending artery is termed the dominant artery.
61
Describe the path of the right coronary artery.
Origin - Right Coronary Sinus, Relation - b/w Right auricle and pulmonary trunk, Relation 2 - Descends in coronary sulcus b/w right atrium and ventricle to the posterior part of the heart.
62
Branches of the right coronary artery.
Supplies SAN and AVN 1st, SAN branch - goes b/w aorta and right auricle, 2nd, Right marginal branch - inferior angle of the heart, 3rd, Posterior interventricular branch - Posterior interventricular sulcus.
63
What does the right coronary artery supply?
Right atrium and ventricle, part of the left atrium and the inter atrial septum, 1/3rd interventricular septum, posterior part of left ventricle.
64
Describe the course of the left coronary artery.
Origin - left aortic sinus, Relation - goes b/w Left Auricle and pulmonary trunk, Relation 2 - Coronary Sulcus, while still posterior the artery gives anterior interventricular artery and the circumflex artery.
65
Name the branches of the left coronary artery.
Circumflex artery and anterior interventricular artery (Left anterior descending artery).
66
What does the left anterior descending artery do?

A structural defect in the heart.
76
Coarctation of the aorta.

80
Difference between acute and subacute endocarditis.

81
What should you suspect about the patients heart if the patient has native valve endocarditis?
A structural defect in the heart.
82
What are the two important angles of a chest X-ray.

Oesophagus.
87

The area infront of the heart.
88

3,5,7,9,11.
90
