Anatomy Week 3 Flashcards
The heart dimensions
12x9x6cm
the central compartment of the thoracic cavity… Contains the _____
Mediastinum
heart, great vessels, trachea, esophagus, thymus, thoracic duct, phrenic nerve, cardiac nerve and lymphondes
Membrane that surrounds the heart and root of the great vessels
pericardium
The two layers of the pericardium
Fibrous: Tough connective tissues, outer layer
Serous: Thin
Two layers of the serous component of pericardium
Parietal: Visceral Layer(epicardium): adheres to the hear and forms the most inmate covering
Narrow space between the visceral layer and parietal layer
Pericardial cavity, thin film of lubricating filament
The parietal layer continues into the _____ which forms the _____
visceral(epicardium) and pericardial cavity
Heart Chamber
Right atria connected to right ventricle by the tricuspid valve
Left atria connected to the left ventricle by the bicuspid/mitral value.
extends anteriorly over the great vessel
right auricle
Embryological communication between the right and left atria
Fossa ovale… closes soon after birth
Seen on the anterior wall of the right atrium
pectinate muscle
Prevents blood from flowing back into the RA when the Ventricles contract
Tricuspid value
Muscular wall of the ventricles
Trabeculae carneae
Papillary muscles
Anterior, posterior and spatial, attached to the chord tendineae
the leaflets
Cordae tendineae
cord like tendons attach to th papillary muscle of the leaflets of the tricuspids valuve
Pulmonary valve
Right ventricle pulmonary artery
Pulmonary artery
only artery containing deoxygenated blood
Which side has thicker muscles of the heart
left side
Direction of electrical current
SA node –> AV Node –> Bundle of His –> Right and left bundle branches –> purkinjee fibers
Arterial supply of the heart
Coronary arteries(right and left)
Blood flow of the heart
RA (Tri valve) RV (Pulmonary Valve) Pulmonary truck - Pulmonary caps, Pulmonary veins, left atrium ( bicuspid valve), left ventricle (aortic valve), Aorta and systemic arteries, Caps, Coronary sinus/inferier VC/Superior VC to RA
Aorta Physiology
- Ascending Aorta
- Aortic Arch
- Descending Aorta
- Thoracic aorta
- Abdominal aorta
2 components of the Digestive system
GI tract and associate organs
9 parts of abdomen
Right Hyperchondriac Region, Epigastric, Left Hyperchondriac
Right lumbar Region, Umbilical, left lumbar
Right inguinal, Hypogastric region, left inguinal region
Peritoneum 5 folds
is a large serous membrane
- Greater Momentum
- Facilostum ligament
- lesser omentum
- Messentery
- Mesocolon
What type of canal is the esophagus
Alimentary
four layers of esophagus
- Mucosa
- Submucosa
- Muscluaris Externa
- Serous
3 components of Mucosa
Epithelium
Lamina propria
Muscularis mocoase
What is the function of the mucosa in esophagus
Protection, absorption and secretion
Laminar propria in esophagus
Loose connective tissues, blood vessels, lymph nodes and mucosal glands and GLAT
Muscularis mucosa in esophagus
inner circular and outer longitudenal helps w/ contraction
boundary between mucosa and submucosa
