Pericardium of Heart Innervation
Parietal: phrenic nerve
Visceral: vagus, sympathetics
Pectoralis Major Innervation
medial & lateral pectoral nerve
Pectoralis Minor Innervation
medial pectoral nerve
Subclavius innervation
nerve to subclavius
Lung innervation
anterior and posterior pulmonary plexus
Apex location and main surface
deep to the left 5th intercostal space
mainly formed by the left ventricle
Most anterior part of the heart
right ventricle
Most posterior part of the heart
right atria
Aortic Valve Auscultation
