CH 22&23 Flashcards
heart located slightly left of midline, deep to the sternum, in ____________
mediastinum
inferior conical end
apex
posterosuperior surface
base of the heart
tough outer sac
fibrous pericardium
composed of parietal and visceral layers
serous pericardium
contains serous fluid
pericardial cavity
serous membrane around heart
pericardium
lines internal surface of the body wall
parietal pericardium
covers external surface of heart
visceral pericardium
visceral layer of serous pericardium & areolar connective tissue
epicardium
cardiac muscle; thickest layer of the heart
myocardium
internal surface of heart chambers, simple squamous epithelium & areolar ct
endocardium
groove separating atria & ventricles
coronary sulcus
separates left and right ventricles
anterior/posterior interventricular sulcus
ridges on internal surface of atrial wall
pectinate muscles
ensures one way blood flow from RA to RV through AV opening
right AV valve/tricuspid
inner wall of each ventricle displays irregular muscular ridges
trabeculae carneae
cone-shaped muscle projects anchoring chordae tendineae
papillary muscles
connects anterior papillary muscle of right ventricle to atrioventricular septum
septomarginal trabecula
ensures one-way flow from ventricle to pulmonary trunk
pulmonary semilunar valve
controls blood flow through opening between left atrium & ventricle
left AV vale/bicuspid
controls flow from the left ventricle to the aorta
aortic semilunar valve
why the the left ventricular wall thicker than the right?
the right only pumps to the lungs, the left pumps to entire body
closure causes first heart sound “lub”
right/left AV valves
closure causes second heart sound “dub”
pulmonary/aortic semilunar valves
