Chapter 22 Heart Flashcards
Location of the Heart?
Located left of the midline posterior to sternum in the mediastinum
Characteristics of the heart?
4 chambered, 2 pumps side-by-side, center of the cardiovascular system. Blood flows unidirectional
Functions of the heart?
Pump blood to lungs
Deliver oxygenated blood to body
Generate blood pressure
What are the markings of the heart?
Sulci, make boundaries between 2 chambers
What are the 3 major sulci?
- Coronary sulcus
- Anterior interventricular sulcus
- Posterior interventricular sulcus
What boundary does the coronary sulcus make?
Boundary between superior atria and nferior ventricles
What boundary does the Anterior Interventricular sulcus make?
Boundary between Left and Right ventricles on the anterior side
What boundary does the posterior Interventricular sulcus make?
boundary between left and right ventricles on posterior side
What structures make up the Heart wall?
Epicardium, myocardium, endocardium. Enclosed by pericardium
What is the epicardium?
Most superficial layer
Visceral layer of serous pericardium
What is the myocardium?
Middle layer
Made of cardiac muscle, thickest
What is the endocardium?
Deepest layer
Is the internal surface of the heart chambers
Gross anatomy of the heart
