Chapter 21: The Heart Flashcards
External structures of the heart
-base (superior) -apex (inferior) -R/L atria and auricles -R/L ventricles -anterior and posterior interventricular sulcus -coronary sulcus -aortic arch -pulmonary trunk -superior vena cava -inferior vena cava -R/L pulmonary veins -R/L pulmonary arteries -Branches off aoritc arch: brachiocephalic trunk, L common carotid artery, L subclavian artery -ligamentum arteriosum coronary arteries and veins -RCA: marginal branch of RCA, posterior interventricular branch of RCA -LCA: circumflex branch of LCA, anterior interventricular branch of LCA -small cardiac vein -anterior cardiac vein -great cardiac vein -posterior vein of left ventricle -middle cardiac vein -coronary sinus
