Q

Papillary muscles description

A

The papillary muscles are specialized trabeculae carneae that have a free edge for attachment of the chordae tendineae

59
Q

Papillary muscles function

A

Together they keep the AV valves closed and prevent them from everting into the atrium upon ventricular contraction

60
Q

61
Q

62
Q

left atrium pectinate muscles

A

in the left atrium, pectinate muscles are only found in the auricle

63
Q

Crista Terminalis description

A

In the right atrium, the crista terminalis separates the muscular part from the smooth part (sinus venarum)

64
Q

Coronary arteries description

A

the left and right coronary arteries branch off the ascending aorta to supply the heart muscle with blood

65
Q

Cardiac veins description

A

the cardiac veins drain blood from the heart muscle into the right atrium via the anterior cardiac veins or the coronary sinus

66
Q

% of the right dominant heart

67
Q

% of left dominant heart

68
Q

Right dominant heart description

69
Q

Left dominant heart description

70
Q

Question

71
Q

autonomic innervation of the heart

A

from the vagus nerves and T1-T4 levels of the sympathetic trunk

72
Q

heart sensory nerves path

A

travel back to the spinal cord with the sympathetics

73
Q

Referred pain description

A

occurs when sensory information comes to the spinal cord from one location but is interpreted by the CNS as coming from another location innervated by the same spinal cord level

74
Q

Referred Visceral pain example

A
  • Visceral afferents from the heart enter at the T1-T4 spinal cord segments (with sympathetic axons)
  • The pain is “felt” as coming from the chest and medial arm as somatic afferents from dermatomes also enter the spinal cord at that level
75
Q

Referred somatic pain example

A

The fibrous pericardium is innervated by the phrenic nerves thus pericardial “pain” is referred to the shoulder or neck dermatomes for C3, 4, 5 (also true for the mediastinal parietal pleura and diaphragm)

76
Q

Question

77
Q

Cardiac valves are divided into 2 groups

2 listed

A
  • Semilunar (aortic and pulmonary)
  • Atrioventricular valves
78
Q

The cardiac skeleton provides

A

mechanical stability and attachment for the cardiac muscles and valves

79
Q

Atrioventricular AKA

80
Q

Identify

81
Q

Which valves are atrioventricular?

A
  • Mitral valve
  • Tricuspid valve
82
Q

How do semilunar valves function

A

Backflow closes the cusps of the aortic and pulmonary valves and in the aorta, fills the coronary arteries

83
Q

How are the coronary arteries filled?

A

the aortic valve’s semilunar cusps prevent backflow and fill the coronary arteries

84
Q

How are heart sounds produced

A

by the closure of the semilunar and AV valves are carried by blood flowing through the valve downstream (auscultation sites)

85
Q

Auscultation position for the aortic valve

A

right 2nd intercostal space at the sternal margin

86
Q

Auscultation position for the pulmonary valve

A

left 2nd intercostal space (at sternal margin)

87
Q

Auscultation position for the tricuspid valve

A

left 5th intercostal space (at the sternal margin)

88
Q

Auscultation position for the mitral valve

A

left 5th intercostal space (midclavicular line)

89
Q

Identify valves and auscultation locations

Larynx function

A

104
Q

Larynx composition

A

the larynx is composed of cartilages connected by elastic ligaments whose movement affects the tension and position of the vocal ligaments

A
  • The trachea is a flexible tube composed of C shaped cartilages closed posteriorly by smooth muscle
  • The trachea bifurcates into a right and left main (primary) bronchus that divides into lobar (secondary) bronchi that divide into segmental (tertiary bronchi)
