Cardiovascular System Anatomy Flashcards
Assuculation Def.
Sound Heart makes
Mediastinum Location
Anterior of thorax to between lungs (in thorax)
Divisions of mediastinum
Anterior mediastinum, middle mediastinum, posterior mediastinum (inferior mediastinum) and angle of louis (superior mediastinum)
Pericardium Outline
Double membrane inclosing Heart, consists of fibrous outer layer inner double serous layer (parietal and visceral). Pericardial fluid exists between 2 membranes in pericardial cavity
Attachments of Fibrous Pericardium
Great vessels, Diaphragm central tendon, sternum (sternopericardial ligament), sroues pericardiun parietal layer and pericardiul fluid
Pericardial Cavity Outline
Pericardial fluid outline, gives less friction (better gliding)
Heart Surfaces Structure
Anterior Surface, Left Pulmonary Surface, Diaphragmatic Surface, Right Pulmonary Surface and Base
Heart Has 4 Chambers
Right atrium, Right ventricles, left atrium and left ventricle
Right Atrium Source Flow
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava
Right Ventricle Out Flow
Pulmonary artery
Left Atrium Inflow
Pulmonary vein
Left Ventricle Outflow
Aorta
Valves in Pulmonary artery and aorta
Semilunar valves (pulmonary: left anterior, right anterior, posterior and aortic: left posterior, right posterior and anterior)
Valves between right atrium and ventricles
Tricuspid valve (anterior, septal, posterior)
Valves between left ventricles and atrium
Mitral (bicuspid) valve (anterior, posterior)
