Cardiovascular Part 2 Flashcards
What does R-ATRM contain anteriorly?
Right auricle
What does R-ATRM contain posteriorly?
sinus venram
What is sinus venarum?
smooth walled part of atrm
location of sinus venarum?
posteriorly of muscular ridge
what empties into sinus venarum?
1-vena cava (both)
2-coronary sinus
What is the crista termanlis
a muscular ridge
What is the function of crista terminalis?
separates anterior & posterior parts of R-Atrm
wdym by separating post&ante of R-Atrm
seperating cardiac & smooth muscles
how is crista terminalis indicated externally
by sulcus terminalis
where is the right auricle located?
anterior to crista terminalis
R-auricle attributes
roughens by muscle fibers
muscle fibers in auricle are called
pectinate muscles
Function of interatrial spetum
separate the 2 atriums
Location of inreratrial spetum
posteriorly left to R-Atrium
What is the fossa ovalis?
remnant of fetal foreman ovale
location of fossa ovalis
right atrium on the interatrial spetum
fossa ovalis are like
fingerprint
location & function of superior vena cava
opens in upper R-atrm, returns blood from upper body
location & function of inferior vena cava
opens in lower R-atrm, returns blood from lower half body
location & function of coronary sinus
opens in lower R-atrm, near IVC
returns blood from walls of heart
location & function of right atrioventricular orifice
anterior to IVC opening
Leads to R-vent
guarded by tricuspid valve
Right ventricle forms most of
sternocostal/anterior surface
Name 2 structural differences between R-vent & R-atrm
1-R-vent thicker walls
2-R-vent have irregular muscular ridges
What are the irregular muscular ridges in R-vent called?
trabeculae carneae “fleshy beams”
What is the infundubulim?
Funnel shaped,
the outflow tract of R-vent
gives rise to Pulmonary Trunk
another name for conus arteriosus?
infundibulum
What are the spetomarginal trabeculae?
1-free band of cardiac muscle
2- connects intervent spetum to ant. papillary muscles
3-crosses vent cavity
what are the papillary muscles?
1-3 irregular muscle bundles,
2-line vent walls except conus arterious
3- connect vent wall to atriovent valve
