Cardiovascular Flashcards
pericardium
fibroserous fluid filled sack surrounds the heart
fibrous pericardium
outtermost layer of pericardium, lines body of heart and roots of vessels
parietal pericardium
lines the fibrous sack
visceral pericardium
lines the heart
serous pericardium
parietal and visceral pericardium
function of the fibrous pericardium
retain the heart in position, limit distension
prevents sudden overfilling
other name for the visceral pericardium
epicardium
where is the heart not associated with the epicardium?
posterior and irregular areas
functions of the pericardium (4)
fixes the heart in place
prevents overfilling
lubrication
protection from infection
what supplies blood to the pericardium?
percardiacophrenic arteries
musculophrenic arteries
branches of the thoractic aorta
what blood supplies only the visceral layer?
coronary arteries
what drains the blood for the pericardium?
pericardiophrenic veins
internal thoracic veins
azygos system
where does the innervation to the fibrous and parietal layers come from
C3-C5
where does the innervation for the visceral layer come from
the cardiac plexus
can the visceral layer feel pain?
No
pericarditis
inflammation of the pericardium
irritated layers rub against one another
pericardial effusion
build up of fluid in the pericardial space
cardiac tamponade
pericardiocentesis
aspiration of fluid from the pericardial space
treatment for cardiac tamponade
is the aorta to the left, right or midline?
midline
the heart runs from ___ to ____intercostal spaces
2nd intercostal to 5th intercostal
where is the apex?
fifth intercostal space
where does venous input come in?
superior vena cava
inferior vena cava
coronary sinus
where does the arterial output go out?
aorta
pulmonary trunks/arteriers
tricuspid valve
between RA and RV
pulmonic valve (semi lunar)
between RV and pulmonary artery
mitral valve
between LV and LV
aortic valve (semi lunar)
between LV and aorta
anterior interventricular groove
anterior view of heart seen separarting the RV and LV
atrioventricular groove
coronary groove
anterior view of heart
seen separating the RA and RV
Where does the pulmonary trunk take blood to? is it oxygenated?
deoxygenated
lungs
If you were stabbed in the chest in the 4th intercostal space which ventricle would you most likely stab?
RV
what are the two parts of the RA
sinus venarum
pecinate muscles
interartial septum
divides RA from LA
fossa ovali found here
sinus venarum
smooth thin wall
VC and coronary sinus is received here
derived from embryonic sinus venosus
pectinate muscles
divided from sinus venarum by crista terminalis
formation of the interartial septum (6)
1-formation of 1st septum (septum primum)
2-formation of opening (ostium primum) before septum primum fuses
3-formation of septum secundum, and ostium secundum (foramen ovale)
4- flap valve created
5- blood bypass lungs by going from RA to LA
6- fetus lungs not inflated (bypass needed)
what does foramen ovale turn into after birth?
fossa ovalis
what is the % of people that have an atrial septal defect?
25%
what does an atrial septal defect cause?
oxygenated blood to be shunted from the LA to the RA and the lungs to be overloaded
RA, RV and pulm trunk enlargement
doorway from RA to RV
right artriventricular orifice (tricuspid valve protects)
trabeculae carneae
irregular muscular elevations on the internal surface of the RV and LV
what are the two parts of the interventricular septum?
muscular part
membranous part that is superior and posterior
what is the shape of blood flow in the RV?
A U shape
What happens to the IV septum during systole (contraction)?
stiffens
what are the three cusps of the tricuspid valve?
anterior cusp
posterior cusp
septal cusp
papillary muscles (3) of tricuspid valve
anterior
posterior
septal
