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
supplies anterior wall of right ventricle
right marginal
posterior wall of right ventricle, posterior part of septum
posterior interventricular
supplies anterior left ventricle, most of iv septum, apex
anterior interventricular
supplies lateral wall of left ventricle
left marginal
supplies posterior wall of left atrium and left ventricle
circumflex
most hearts are blank dominant
right
heart dominance depends on the coronary artery that supplies blank
posterior interventricular artery
drains blood from both ventricles and the left atrium and lies in the anterior interventricular sulcus
great cardiac vein
