GA1-Heart and Pericardium Parts Flashcards
Left Coronary Artery
Anterior. Comes off of the left side of the ascending Aorta. Splints in half to the Circumflex Branch (goes around heart) & Left Anterior Descending
Right Coronary Artery
Anterior Comes off the Rights side of ascending aorta following the coronary sulcus. Branches off first to Right Marginal Branch and then the Posterior Interventricular Branch of Coronary artery
Coronary Sulcus
Divides the atrium from the ventricle. Holds the coronary artery.
Coronary Sinus
Posterior side, delivers deoxygenated blood from heart muscle to right atrium.
Pulmonary Trunk
Posterior side. Branches into pulmonary veins. Delivery of deoxygenated blood to lungs.
Sulcus Terminalis
Space between Right auricle and Superior Vena Cava. Opposite the Crista Terminalis.
Mitral Valve
Sits between Left Atrium and Left ventricle
Tricuspid Valve
Sits between Right Atrium and Left ventricle
Crista Terminalis
Smooth ridge Dividing the pectate and smooth muscle of the right atrium. Opposite the Sulcus terminalis.
Pectinate muscles
‘Rough’ muscle inside the atrium of heart. Porous.
Trabeculae Carneae In the Ventricles
Rough porous muscles in ventricles.
Trabeculae Carneae In the Atriums
Rough porous muscles on the walls to the outer heart.
Pericardium is made of:
Fibrous Pericardium & Serous Pericardium
Fibrous Pericardium
Outer layer of pericardium. Attaches to diaphragm on
Serous Pericardium
Inner Layer of pericardium.
Parietal Pericardium
Outer layer of Serous pericardium. Attached to the fibrous pericardium.
Visceral Pericardium
Innermost layer of the Serous Pericardium
Order of Things passing through diaphragm A to P

Pericardium is bound by:
Pericardiacophrenic & Sternopericardial ligaments
