Cardiovascular Flashcards
name the series of vessels
Heart, Arteries, Arterioles, Capillary bed, Venules, Veins
Base of the heart
top part with great veins
Apex of the heart
Pointy part
Sternocostal surface of the heart
anterior part of the heart
diaphragmatic surface of the heart
postero-inferior surface.
Pulmonary surface of the heart
left side of the heart
right border of the heart
right side of heart
coronary groove of heart
seperates the atriums from the ventricles. Fat filled
anterior and posterior interventricular grooves
fat filled and seperates the ventricles
Endocardium
simple squamous epithelium termed endothelium. most inner lining
myocardium
middle layer full of cardiac muscle tissue.
epicardium
serous membrane , outside layer, has two different layers,
interatrial septum
seperates the atriums
interventricular septum
seperates the ventricles
right atrium of the heart
pumps into right ventricles, recieves deoxygenated blood from superior/ inferior vena cava. This is called sinus venarum cavarum.
Right auricle of the heart
right blind spot
opening of the superior vena cava
blood from the head neck superior limbs and thorax
opening of the inferior vena cava
blood from abdomen, pelvis, and inferior limbs
opening of the coronary sinus
next to opening of inferior vena cava. returns blood from itself
fossa ovalis/ foramen ovale of the heart
interatrial septum pathway
intervenous tubercle
endocardial ridge between the openings of the superior and inferior venae cavae
pectinate muscles
ridges formed by fasciculi of atrial myocardium located on the inner surfaces of the left and right atria
right ventricle of the heart
pumps to the lungs through pulmonary trunk
right atrioventricular/ tricuspid valve
has anterior, posterior, septal cusps
chordae tendineae
fibrous cords that attach to papillary muscles and leaflets
papillary muslces
anchor left and right atrioventricular valves
trabeculae carneae
the muscular bundles lining the ventricles
trabecula septomarginalis
only in the RA helps with impulse
