Block 2 - Middle Mediastinum / Heart Flashcards
two layers of pericardium
parietal, visceral
between pericardial layers is the blank
pericardial space
accumulation of fluid from pericarditis is called a cardiac blank
tamponade
blank is needed to remove tamponade
pericardiocentesis
two pericardial sinuses
transverse, oblique
sinus that connects the right and left sides of the pericardial cavity
transverse
sinus that is an inverted u shaped sinus dorsal to left atrium between pulmonary veins and superior vena cava
oblique
fluid in pericardial cavity will flow to this sinus
oblique
id oblique sinus
ok
this separates the atria from ventricles
atrioventricular groove
septum between ventricles
interventricular septum
apex of heart is located at blank intercostal space in the midclavicular line
5th
most anterior chamber of the heart
right ventricle
three branches of RCA
posterior interventricular artery, marginal, nodal
LCA branches
circumflex, anterior interventricular artery
supplies right atrium and sa node
nodal branch
