Cardiovascular system 2 Flashcards
The groove between the atria and the ventricles dividing the top, half and the bottom half
Atrioventricular groove
The blood supply to the heart
Coronary circulation
— provides blood supply to the heart while — drains Venous blood from the heart
- coronary artery
- coronary vein
The groove that divides the right, and left ventricles looping from the anterior to the posterior
Interventricular grooves
The 2 main blood vessels of the right coronary artery?
- The right marginal artery
- The posterior interventricular artery
The 2 main blood vessels of the left coronary artery?
- The left interior interventricular artery
- The circumflex artery
What is coronary dominance
Coronary dominance is where the posterior interventricular artery comes from. This can be from the left or from the right.
Majority of the population are right coronary dominant.
A large vein on the posterior aspect of the heart in the atrioventricular groove
Coronary sinus
The joining of two blood vessels to create a connection
Anastomosis
( serves as a backup mechanism)
— cardiac vein travels along the right margin of the right ventricle in the atrial ventricular groove.
Small cardiac vein
— cardiac vein travels along the left side of the anterior interventricular groove.
Great cardiac vein
Small veins that are on the surface of the heart. They drain directly into the right atrium because of their location.
Anterior cardiac vein
(they are the only vein of the heart that do not drain into the coronary sinus first)
The first branch of the arc of aorta coming up is the ? and it splits into two arteries named ?
- Right brachiocephallic trunk
- right subclavian artery (goes up to the neck)
Right common carotid artery (provides the upper limbs with blood supply)
The second branch of the arch of Aorta is the? and the third branch is the?
- left common carotid
- Left subclavian artery (which goes to the upper extremities)
In vasculature of the heart,
- The right marginal artery travels with the?
- The left marginal artery travels with the?
- The circumflex artery travels with the
- The posterior interventricular artery travels with the?
- the anterior Interventricular artery travels with the?
- Small cardiac vein
- Left marginal vein
- Coronary sinus
- middle cardiac vein
- Great, cardiac vein
