Coronary artery and internal heart Flashcards
What does the ascending aorta give rise to?
L and R coronary arteries
What does the RCA supply?
Heart, right atrium, right ventricle, part left ventricle, part interventricular septum
Main branches of RCA?
SAN, AV node
Right marginal artery- inferior border
Posterior interventricular artery- continue RA
- supply
ventricles
Main branches of RCA?
SAN, AV node
Right marginal artery- inferior border
Posterior interventricular artery- continue RA
- supply
ventricles
Label?
What does LCA supply?
Heart, left atrium, most left ventricle, part right ventricle, part interventricular
Course of LCA?
Short course then divide 2 large branches
What are two branches of LCA?
Anterior interventricular artery/Left anterior descending (LAD)
Circumflex artery
What do the branches of the LCA supply?
LAD- both ventricles
Circumflex- left atrium, part R and L ventricle
Left marginal artery- branch circumflex, supply
L ventricle
Label
Do most people have right or left dominant circulation?
Most- Right dominant circulation- both R/L CA supply left ventricle
Left- PIV from circumflex- LCA supply entire L ventricle
PIV (supply left ventricle) either L or R artery
Why is dominance important?
Occlusion
Label
Label
What ensures unidirectional flow?
Valves
Purpose right atrium?
Receive deoxygenated blood from sup and inf vena cava
What feature seperates L and R atrium?
Interatrial septum
What remains in the foramen ovale?
Fossa ovalis
What seperates the smooth posterior part from rough anterior part of atrium?
Crista terminalis
Ridges- pectinate muscles
Where does blood flow after right atrium?
Right AV valve (tricuspid) to right ventricle
Mostly passive
