Anatomy unit 4 lecture - combined Flashcards
cardiopulmonary developmental milestones
22nd day pericardial cavity forms; the elongates to form truncus arteriosus (aorta); bulbous cordis (pulmonary trunks); ventricle; atrium; sinus venosis; bends on 23rd day; interatrial and interventricular walls form weeks 4-8;
atrial septal defect
lead to congestive heart failure; atrial arrythmias; stroke; usually right side heart failure; excess blood flow to R atrium
ventricular septal defect
increased blood flow to R ventricle; similar symptomsm as atrial septal defect
defects in Tetralogy of Fallot
ventricular septal defect; overriding aorta which straddles the VSD; pulmonary stenosis; R ventricular hypertrophy
superior mediastinum
area above heart; above sternal angle and T4-5 intervertebral space (transverse thoracic plane)
anterior mediastinum
in front of heart
posterior mediastinum
behind heart
middle mediastinum
heart and pericardial sac
positional landmarks of heart
apex of left ventricle at 5th intercostal space 3.5 inches from midline; base points superior posterior towards right shoulder
layers of pericardium
fibrous outer sac; serous pericardium includes parietal and visceral
transverse pericardial sinus
posterior wall of pericardial sac; passage between aorta/pulmonary trunk and superior vena cava
oblique pericardial sinus
between (pulmonary veins; inferior vena cava) and left atrium; lies posterior to heart
obtuse margin of heart
lies next to lung
acute margin of heart
lower part of heart; lies on diaphragm
left coronary artery
supplies left atrium; ventricle; portions of septum; branches into circumflex and left anterior descending
right coronary artery
supplies right atrium; ventricle; SA node; posterior portion of left ventricle
small cardiac vein
sits in AV groove
middle cardiac vein
parallels right coronary artery
limbus of heart
surrounds fossa ovalis
pectinate muscles
found in right atrium
tricuspid valve
between right atrium and ventricle
prenatal blood flow
oxygenated blood through umbillical VEIN; hepatic portal vein first; ductus venosus joins inferior vena cava to right side of heart; free flow through foramen ovale mostly R->L; ductus arteriosus branch off pulmonary arteries for a lot of blook to bypass lungs; aorta to body; branches from internal iliac go back through umbilical arteries to mother
transition from prenatal to postnatal
BP falls in inferior vena cava and R atrium; pressure differential b/w atria causes foramen ovale to close; aeration of lungs accompanied by fall in pulmonary vascular resistance
conducting system of heart
SA node; AV node; pause; interventricular bundle branches of purkinje cells to bottom of ventricles; papillary muscles contract beginning at apex of heart to empty ventricles
