26
Q

What is the function of the chordae tendineae?

A

fibrous cords between the papillary muscles and the valve leaflets that control closure of the valve during contraction of the ventricle

27
Q

What is infundibulum?

A

the smooth area of the right ventricle leading to the pulmonary valve

28
Q

What is another name for septomarginal trabecula?

A

moderator band

29
Q

What is the septomarginal trabeculae?

A

band of cardiac muscle between interventricular septum and anterior papillary muscle

30
Q

The first heart sound occurs at the closure of which valves?

A

at the closure of the atrioventricular valves at the beginning of systole

31
Q

The second heart sound occurs at the closure of what occurrence of the heart?

A

at the closure of aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves

32
Q

Which valves are more commonly involved in valvular disease?

A

Q

What type of murmur is heard in the upper left lateral chest wall?

A

systolic:
mitral insufficiency

36
Q

What type of murmur is heard at the apex of the heart?

A

diastolic:
mitral stenosis
aortic insufficiency
