CH 22 - Heart Flashcards
Superficial Anatomy
Pulmonary Circuit
Carries DEOXYGENATED blood to lungs for gas exchange; from right side of the heart to the left side of the lungs w/ pulmonary arteries. Back to the
Pericardial Sac
Conical sac of fibrous tissue surrounding the heart and the roots of the great blood vessels
Pericardial Cavity
between heart and pericardial sac; contains pericardial fluid
Parietal Pericardium
lines pericardial sac
Visceral Paricardium
Epicardium, covers the heart
Base
Region where the major arteries and veins connect
Apex
tip of the heart
Coronary Sulcus
Groove between the aria and the ventricles
Interventricular Sulcus
depression between the ventricles
Right Atrium
Receives blood from Systemic circuit
Right Ventricle
discharges blood from the pulmonary circuit
Left Atrium
receives blood from pulmonary circuit
Left Ventricle
discharges blood from systemic circuit
Superior Vena Cava
Returns blood from upper systemic organs to the right atrium
Inferior Vena Cava
Returns blood from lower systemic organs to the right atrium
Pulmonary Trunk
carries blood to the lungs from right ventricle
Pulmonary Veins
Returns blood from the lungs to the left atrium
Ascending Aorta
carries blood to the systemic organs from the left ventricle
Aortic Arch
A bend in the aorta that allows vessel to branch to the upper body before descending to the lower body
Ligamentum Arteriosus
Remnant of the fetal vascular connection between the pulmonary trunk and the aortic arch
Sectional Anatomy
Interventricular Septum
heart wall between left and right ventricles
Right Atrioventricular Valve
(Tricuspid Valve) controls movement of blood between the right atrium and right ventricle
1st “Lubb” sound when closing
Pulmonary Semilunar valve
controls movement of blood between the right ventricle and the pulmonary circuit
2nd “Dupp” sound when closing
Left Atrioventricular Valve
(Bicuspid valve, mitral valve)
controls movement of blood between the left ventricle and the left atrium
Aortic semilunar Valve
controls movement of blood between the left ventricle and the systemic circuit
Chordae Tendinae
Tendonous fibers that grab the cusps of the atrioventricular valves
Papillary muscles
Cardiac muscle that connects to the Chordae Tindinae
Trabeculae Carne
Deep grooves and folds in the ventricles
Fosa Ovale
Remnant of the fetal opening between right and left atria
Fetal heart and circulation
Foramen Ovale
Opening between right and left atria
Ductus Atreriosus
Vascular connection between pulmonary trunk and aortic arch
