Q

What is an external sulci?

A

heart divides into 4 chambers (2 atria and 2 ventricles) to produce surface grooves referred to as sulci.

Q

The right coronary artery:

A

-arises from the aorta

18
Q

The right coronary artery supplies the ?

A

-right atrium
-right ventricle
-sinuatrial (SA) node
-AV node

19
Q

the right coronary gives rise to the following artery branches:

A

-posterior descending artery

-right marginal artery

-SA nodal artery

20
Q

-posterior descending artery supplies the …

A

-inferior wall
-posterior interventricular septum
-posteromedial papillary muscle

21
Q

Right marginal artery supplies the

A

-the right ventricular wall

22
Q

SA nodal artery:

A

-passes btw the right atrium and the opening of the superior vena cava and supplies the SA node.

23
Q

How is coronary dominance determined ?

A

-by the coronary arteries (right or left) that GIVES RISE TO THE POSTERIOR INTERVENTRICULAR ARTERY.

24
Q

The posterior interventricular septum and part of the left ventricle are supplied by the?

A

-posterior interventricular A

25
Q

A
26
Q

When does the maximum blood flow to the myocardium occcur?

A

-heart is relaxed

27
Q

little blood flow occurs when

A

-heart is contracting

28
Q

ppt 19

A
29
Q

the coronary sinus :

A

-largest vein draining deoxygenated blood from heart

-lies in the coronary sulcus

-collects most of the venous return from
[great, middle, small cardiac veins]

30
Q

Great cardiac vein

A

-begins at apex of heart
-ascends in anterior inter
-runs parallel to left anterior descending artery into coronary sinus

31
Q

what are the 3 cardiac veins?

A

-Great cardiac vein
-Middle cardiac vein
-small cardiac vein

32
Q

middle cardiac vein

A

-begins at apex of the heart
-ascends in the posterior interventricular sulcus
- // to posterior interventricular artery and drains to coronary sinus

33
Q

small cardiac vein

A

-runs along margin of the heart

  • runs with the right marginal artery
  • drains to the coronary sinus
34
Q

review ppt 22, 23, 24

A
35
Q

What is coronary Angiography?

A

catheter passed in the ascending aorta through femoral/radial artery

36
Q

What is coronary artery disease

A

-lipid deposits in the coronary arteries

37
Q

What is angina pectoris and myocardial infarction?

A

-pain originates in the heart due to ischemia

-dec in O2 results in lactic acid build up which causes pain receptors

[pain in L shoulder, down l arm]

38
Q

Internal Thoracic artery

A

-carries oxygenated blood flow to ventricles

39
Q

Where to we obtained heart pulses?

A

-radial artery pulse
-ulnar artery pulse
-brachial artery pulse
-carotid artery pulse
-facial artery pulse

Lower:
–femoral artery pulse
-popliteal artery pulse
-posterior tibial artery pulse
dorsalis pedis artery pulse

40
Q

What drains the Brachiocephalic vein

A

superior vena cava, which goes on to drain into the right atrium of the heart.
