Coronory Arteries And Internal Heart Flashcards
Where do the L R coronary arteries arise from
Ascending aorta
Cardiac veins return Venus bood to the coronary _____ in R atrium
Sinus
Which nodes in the heart do branches R coronary artery supply
Sinoatrial
Atrioventricular
Which branch of the R coronary artery supplies the inferior border is the heart
Right marginal
What is the name of the continuation of the coronary after on the inferior/diaphragmatic surface of heart
Posteriori inter-ventricular artery
Left coronary artery branches to 2 terminal branches, what are they
Anterior interventricular (LAD)
Circumflex
Which artery does the L marginal artery that supplies the L ventricle arise from
Circumflex
What arteries can posterior interventricular arise from
L or R coronary
Origin of posterior interventricular can be
A left dominant
B Right sim
C either
C
Why is it important clinically if someone has Right dominant circulation
Occlusion of the L main stem would impair blood flow to part of it but not entire L ventricle
Why is it important clinically if someone has Left dominant circulation
If an occlusions occurred on left main stem, entire left ventricle could be blocked off
What do the valves in the heart ensure
Unidirectional flow
Main internal features of R atrium
Interatrial septum
Fossa ovalis
Crista terminalis
What is the fossa ovalis in R atrium
Depression in the septum from foetal foramen ovals
What is the crista terminalis in R atrium
-Muscular ridge separating smooth walled posterior let of atrium from anterior parts which are ridged (pectinate muscles)
