Gross anatomy of the heart and the coronary circulation L7 Flashcards
4 chambers of the heart
right atrium
left atrium
right ventricle
left ventricle
great vessels
aorta superior vena cava inferior vena cava pulmonary arteries pulmonary vein
roughy where does the heart sit
T5-T8 middle mediastinum
3rd- 6th costal cartilage
2/3 left of midline
pericardium of heart
fibrous pericardium parietal pericardium visceral pericardium myocardium endocardium
3 layers of heart
visceral pericardium (epicardium) myocardium endocardium
2 layers of serous pericardium
parietal pericardium
visceral pericardium
apex of the heart=
left ventricle
base of the heart=
left atrium
sternal surface=
right ventricle
diaphragmatic surface=
left+ right ventricle
general atria shiz
thin walled receiving chambers, fill the ventricles
important in setting the cardiac pace 60bpm
general ventricle shiz
thick muscular walls
slow pace 40bpm
where does the right atrium receive blood from
superior and inferior vena cava
Coronary sinus
where does the coronary sinus drain into
the right atria
what is the smooth wall atria called
sinus venarum
what is the rough wall of the atria covered with
pectinate muscles
what separates the smooth and rough walls interiorly in the atria
crista terminalis
what separates the smooth and rough walls exteriorly in the atria
sulcus terminalis
