Cardiovascular Anatomy (part II) Flashcards
The cardiac conduction system is made up of
specialized myocardial tissue with rhythmicity
is specialized myocardial tissue a nerve tissue
no its not nerves
The Atrio-ventricular Node is located in the posteroinferior part of what
of the right atrium {aka triangle of Koch}
The triangle of Koch is bound by what
septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve
the opening of the coronary sinus
and the tendon of Todara
What stretches from the coronary sinus opening and the inferior vena cava
tendon of Todara
The Sinu-Atrio node is located where
in the upper right atrium near the opening of the SVC
The Bundle of His is located where
in the membranous part of the interventricular septum
The right and left bundle branches are located where
in the muscular part of the interventricular septum
Bundle branches end as the subendocardial what
Purkinje fibers
the SA nod is innervated by what
cardiac plexus with sympathetic fibers from T1-5 sympathetic ganglia and parasympathetic fibers from CN X
The cardiac plexus is divided into two parts which are what
Deep and superficial
Where are the Deep and Superficial plexuses located
Deep - lies behind the arch of the aorta
Superficial - below arch
The superficial part of the cardiac plexus receives fibers from where
Superior cervical sympathetic ganglion
Inferior cardiac branch of the vagus
Deep cardiac plexus receives contributions from what
superior, middle and inferior cervical sympathetic ganglia
superior and inferior cardiac branches of Vagus
recurrent laryngeal nerves from the vagus nerve
What are the branches of the thoracic aorta
right and left coronary arteries brachiocephalic trunk left common carotid left subclavian artery 3rd to 11th posterior intercostals 3 brachial branches 4-5 esophageal branches
What are the branches of the abdominal aorta
4 paired visceral arteries
4 pared parietal
4 unpaired visceral
where does the abdominal aorta end
at L4
what are the 4 paired visceral arteries of the abdominal aorta
inferior phrenic
middle adrenal
renal
gonadal
what are the 4 paired parietal branches of the abdominal aorta
1st to 4th lumbar arteries
what are the 4 unpaired visceral arteries of the abdominal aorta
celiac trunk
superior mesenteric artery
inferior mesenteric artery
median sacral artery
when the aorta ends what does it do
it bifurcates into the common iliac arteries
after the aorta ends and bifurcates into the common iliac artery it then divides into what
internal and external iliac arteries
What are the 9 branches of the internal iliac artery
Anterior division: Superior vesical Inferior vesical Middle rectal Obturator Inferior gluteal Internal pudendal -Uterine in females Posterior division: Iliolumbar Lateral sacral Superior gluteal Some Inherit Money, Others Inherit Insanity, Usually, Isn't Life Silly
The External Iliac Artery has three branches known as
Cremasteric artery (males)
Inferior epigastic artery
Deep circumflex artery
the External Iliac Artery continues as what
the femoral artery
beyond the inguinal ligament the femoral artery continues with which branches
Superficial external pudendal
Deep external pudendal
Superficial circumflex
Deep femoral w/its medial and lateral circumflex branches
Where can the femoral artery be palpated
at the mid-inguinal point which is halfway between the ASIS and pubic symphysis
the femoral artery passes through what
the adductor canal
