Cardio - Heart and Limbs Flashcards
How many cusps on left AV valve
2 (bicuspid)
How many cusps on right AV valve
3 (tricuspid)
Which palmar artery does radial artery supply
Deep palmar arch
What palmar arch does ulnar artery supply
Superficial palmar arch
Cephalic vein
Lateral side of upper arm
Basilic vein
Medial side of upper arm
Median cubital
Connects basilic and cephalic vein
Blood drawn from here
Deep veins
Formed by venae commitantes
Axillary artery
Branch off from subclavian arteries
Fibrous pericardium
Thin outer layer adhered to diaphragm
Parietal serous pericardium
Deep to the fibrous pericardium
Adhered to inner layer of fibrous pericardium
Visceral serous pericardium
Adhered to heart wall
Femoral artery
Branch off from external iliac artery
Runs posterior to knee
Profunda femoris
Deep artery of the knee
Popliteal artery
Formed from femoral artery
Vena comitantes
Venous networks named according to artery they surround and merge to form major vein
Anterior tibial artery
Branch off from popliteal artery
Dorsalis pedis
Branch off from anterior tibial artery
Pulse
Posterior tibial artery
Branch off from popliteal artery
Long/great saphenous vein
Medial side of limb
Emptied into femoral vein
Short/small saphenous vein
Lateral side of limb
Empties into popliteal vein
Superior lymphatic drainage in upper limb
Follows superficial (cephalic and basilic) veins
Superficial lymphatic drainage in lower limb
Follows superficial (saphenous veins)
Deep lymphatic drainage in lower limb
Follows the arteries
Coronary arteries
Arise off aorta
Supply oxygenated blood to myocardium
Coronary sinus
Collects venous (deoxygenated) blood from myocardium and empties it into RA
Runs along posterior part of AV groove and terminates in the RA
Pericardial cavity
Narrow space between the parietal and visceral pericardium that consists of thin film of serous fluid
Left coronary artery
Runs left behind pulmonary trunk
Latter vessel descends AV groove
