Close
Semilunar valves each contain
3 semilunar cusps
3 features of semilunar cusps
Nodules
Lunules
Pulmonary/aortic sinuses
Nodules
Central thickenings on free edge of cusp
**button on pocket
Lunules
Thin, crescentic part of cusps

Components of Fibrous skeleton of heart
Fibrous rings
L and R fibrous trigones
Membranous part of septal wall
Functions of fibrous skeleton
Structural framework for valves
Insulate electrical impulses
R and L coronary arteries arise from
Aorta — just superior to aortic valve
Blood pressure in coronary arteries is low due to
Position of the openings in aortic sinus
Right coronary artery branches
Sinuatrial nodal
Right marginal
Posterior interventricular
Coronary arteries lie deep to
Epicardium on surface of myocardium
Left coronary artery branches
Anterioe interventricular
Circumflex
Circumflex artery gives rise to
Left marginal artery
Coronary artery dominance
Which coronary artery gives rise to posterior interventricular artery
Most individuals have what side dominance
Right coronary dominance
Right coronary distribution
RA RV Diaphragmatic surface of LV Posterior 1/3 of IV septum Conduction system
Left coronary distribution
LA
Most LV
Part of RV
Anterior 2/3 of IV septum
Anastamoses occur on heart between
Right coronary and circumflex
Anterior and posterior interventricular arteries
Largest vein of heart
Coronary sinus
Coronary sinus lies within
Coronary sulcus
Drains into RA
5 tributaries of coronary sinus
Great cardiac Middle cardiac Small cardiac Posterior vein of Left ventricle Oblique vein of Left Atrium
