Cardiac Anatomy Flashcards
The heart rests on the
Diaphragm
Mass of tissue extending from sternum to vertebral column b/w the 2 lungs
Mediastinum
Orientation of the base of the heart
Posterior
Superior
Points to the right
Orientation of the apex of the heart
Anteriorly
Inferiorly
Points to the left
Fibrous connective sac that encloses the heart
Pericardium
2 layers of pericardium
- Fibrous pericardium(outermost layer)
2. Serous pericardium(innermost layer)
What are the 2 functions of the fibrous pericardium the outer most layer of the pericardium?
- Prevents the heart from over stretching
2. Anchors the heart from the mediastinum
What is the 2 layers of the serous pericardium the inner most layer of the pericardium?
- Visceral serous pericardium(“epicardium”)
- adheres tightly in the heart(huggy bear)
- Parietal serous pericardium
- outermost layer of the serous pericardium
Pericardial fluids fxn,location and normal value
Lubricates the heart to dec. friction
Located b/w parietal and visceral serous pericardium
Normal value= 50ml
Decrease pericardial fluid will lead to
(+)Pericardial friction rub (+)pain =Pericarditis
Increase pericardial fluid will lead to
Cardiac tamponade
(-)pain
Inability to pump blood leading to cardiac arrest
Forms the apex of the heart
L ventricle
Opening of the interatrial septum of a fetal heart that normaly closes after birth
Foramen ovale
Remnant of the foramen ovale
An oval depression on the interatrial septum
Fossa ovalis
Ridges of cardiac muscle fiber in the ventricles
Trabeculae carnae
Cone shaped structure of the trabeculae carnae this is where the chordae tendinae are attached and to the valves
Papillary ms
Deoxyginated blood flow inside the heart
SVC and IVC R atrium tricuspid valve R ventricle Pulmonic valve Pulmonary artery Lungs
Oxygenated blood flow inside the heart
Pulmonary vein L atrium Bicuspid valve/mitral valve L ventricle Aortic valve Aorta System
S1 heart sound
LUBB(closure of AV valves "inlet") Audible thru a stethoscope Longer Louder Lower in pitch
S2 heart sound
DUBB(closure of the SL valves “outlet”)
Audible thru a stethoscope
Shorter
Not as loud as S1
S3 heart sound
Rapid filling of the ventricles
Cannot be heard thru a steth, if yes its considered as a pathological sound(+) CHF/Ventricular gallop
Can be heard thru phonocardiogram
S4
Atrial systole/Atrial kick
25% of the remaining blood at the atrium are pumped to the ventricle
Cannot be heard thru a steth, if yes its considered as a pathological sound (+) MI , HTN
Can be heard thru phonocardiogram
2 great controlling centers of the heart
ANS
- Sympa
- Para
Conducting system
- SA node/Sinus node
- AV node/junctional node
- Bundle of HIS
- Purkenji fiber
Primary pacemaker of the heart
SA node/Sinus node
Initiates depolarization
SA node/Sinus node
Location of the SA node and its specific location
R atrium
Superior septal wall of the R atrium immediately below slightly lateral to the opening of superior vena cava
Most common site for heart block(delayed elec. conduction)
AV node
Location of AV node
Behind the tricuspid valve
Location of bundle of HIS
Interventricular septum
Largest pacemaker of the heart
Purkenji fiber
Location of purkenji fiber
Surrounds the 2 ventricles
Most affected structure in R coronary artery occlution
SA node = heart failure
Most affected structure in L coronary artery occlution
L ventricle = inability to pump blood to the system
Ventricular force required to open semilunar valves
After load
Highest arterial pressure and normal value
Systolic blood pressure
120 mmHg
Lowest arterial pressure and lowest pressure
Diastolic blood pressure
80 mmHg
Diff. b/w the systolic and diastolic pressure
Normal value?
Formula?
Pulse pressure
40mmHg
Sys-diastole
Amount of blood left after ventricular relaxation
Normal value?
End diastolic volume
120ml
