cardiac anatomy Flashcards
normal metabolic needs for the body is supplied by …
interaction ❤️ great vessels ( aorta / pulmonary artery) , capillaries & veins
primary function ❤️
supply adequate energy > delivery oxygenated blood & substrate metabolizing tissue & removes carbon dioxide
arteries
blood away from ❤️
veins
blood back to ❤️
aorta : great vessel
conducts blood > Lt vent > peripheral arteries
peripheral arteries
transports oxygenated blood > aorta > various tissue : body
arterioles
last branch : arterial system / acts > control valves by releasing blood > capillaries
venules
veins collect blood > capillaries
veins
blood > peripheral tissue : ❤️
heart ❤️
muscular organ > pumps blood throughout blood vessels : body
what is the property : ❤️
automaticity > contracts / relax itself on its own
location : ❤️
thorax ( chest ) > b/w 2 lungs, space = mediastinum
- lies 2/3 : midline w/ apex : ❤️ toward Lt hip
most anterior chamber
Rt ventricle
most posterior chamber
Lt atrium
most dominant chamber
Lt vent
apex
blunt , rounded bottom
- anteriorly / Lt : towards pt hip
base
under 2 ribs, widest portion
- posteriorly / rt
crux
area : 4 chamber meets posteriorly
- internally crux > interventricular / interaterial septum meet
Lt vent meets … , aka:
lungs , oblique margin
Rt vent meets …, aka:
diaphragm, acute margin
cardiac motion
❤️ contracts : moves downwards (base > apex) , twist counterclockwise moves anteriorly during vent systole (contraction)
how many chamber in ❤️ ?
4
2 pumping chamber = ventricle
2 receiving chamber = atrium
ventricle
lower chambers
Separate > interventricular septum
atrium
upper chamber
separate > interaterial septum
Rt atrium receives … blood from …. deliveres blood > …
oxygen poor, svc,Ivc & cs
Rt vent
Lt atrium receives … blood from …
delivers blood > …
oxygen rich, lungs ( 4 pulmonary veins)
Lt vent
Non functional valves
Eustachian valve
Thebesian valve
trabeculae carneae
location :
thick muscle band
along inner wall : ventricle
chordae tendineae
originates :
strong fibrous cord
tip : papillary muscle > tip : atrioventricular valves
papillary muscles
Location :
both ventricle
below atrioventricular valves
