CABG & Valve repair/replacement sx PPt (test #2) josh's take Flashcards
what 2 items make up the cardiac skeleton
- tough fibrous rings surrounding Av valves
- 2 additional fibrous annuli develop in relation to the base of the aorta and the pulmonary trunk
the tough fibrous rings surrounding the AV valves are what?
the points of attachment
what is the fixation point for cardiac musculature?
annulus fibrosis
picture of the skeleton of the heart we just went over

2 chambers of the heart
ventricles
atria
which chamber is smaller and thinner
atria
the ventricles muscles are thicker than the atria which venticle is thicker? for extra credit what are their “nomal thickness?”
left
left is usually 1 cm thicker than right
right 0.5 cm
left 1.5 cm thick
RIGHT ATRIUM:
muscle wall thickness of what?
2mm
RIGHT ATRIUM:
recieves blood from where?
SVC
IVC
Coronary sinus (dont forget this one)
RIGHT ATRIUM:
consist of what 2 parts?
anterior
posterior
RIGHT ATRIUM:
which part is thin walled TRABECULATED portion?
which part is smooth walled portion?
- Anterior
- Posterior
RIGHT ATRIUM:
what 2 things are contained in it?
- intraatrial septum
- fossa ovalis cordis t(he fossa ovalis is a depression in the right atrium of the heart, the remnant of a thin fibrous sheet that covered the foramen ovale during fetal development.)
RIGHT VENTRICLE:
the RV ejects blood throught the_______ into the ________ for gas exchange in the lungs
pulmonary valve
pulmonary arteries
RIGHT VENTRICLE:
what is the muscle wall thickness?
4-5 mm (note mm not cm)
RIGHT VENTRICLE:
the papillary muscles attach to the ______ ______ and _____ _______
ventricular walls
chordae tendineae
RIGHT VENTRICLE:
the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles help prevent what?
the eversion of the tricuspid valve.
RIGHT VENTRICLE:
recap all of that shit!! include papillar muscles, what they do, and all other structures!!
papillary muscles attach to the VENTRICULAR WALLS and CHORDAE TENDINEAE
the CHORDAE TENDINEAE attach to the cusp of the TRICUSPID VALVE
The CHORDAE TENDINEAE and PAPILLARY MUSCLES help prevent the eversion if the tricuspid valve!!!
got it get it good
LEFT ATRIUM:
is a reservoir for what?
oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins
LEFT ATRIUM:
provides a ___-___% increase in LVEDV called the “____ ____”
20-30%
“atrial kick”
LEFT ATRIUM:
diastolic dysfunction + loss of “atrial kick” = what?
impaired CO
LEFT ATRIUM:
is located posterior to what?
Left pulm artery
LEFT ATRIUM:
has a muscle wall thickness of what?
3 mm
LEFT ATRIUM:
is the LA wall rough or smooth
smooth motha fucker
LEFT VENTRICLE:
ejects blood into what?
the aorta
