Q

Which chamber of the heart does not send its venous drainage to the coronary sinus?

Why?

A

Right ventricle because the coronary sinus drains directly into this chamber. Anterior cardiac veins overlying the right ventricle drain into the right atrium instead of going to the coronary sinus.

Some veins called venae cordis minimae are very small and drain directly into the chambers of the heart and are found in large numbers in the right atrium and right ventricle. The small cardiac vein may drain to the coronary sinus, right atrium, middle cardiac vein or be absent.

Q

What is mediastinum?

A

The mediastinum is a space that lies between, and separates, the cavities of the two lungs.

44
Q

What does mediastinum consist of?

A

It contains various structures and allows other structures to pass through the thorax either to the abdomen, heart or head and neck.

45
Q

Name the different parts of the mediastinum (Labels A - E)

A

A= Anterior mediastinum

B= Middle mediastinum

C= Posterior mediastinum

D= inferior mediastinum

E= Superior mediastinum

46
Q

A transverse plane is indicated by the yellow dotted line. It passes through the sternal angle at what vertebral level?

A

The sternal angle is found at the second rib (costal cartilages) but at the vertebral level T4/T5

47
Q

The middle part of the mediastinum contains________

A

the pericardium, the heart and the roots of the great vessels

48
Q

The pericardium is a _________ __________that encloses the heart and the roots of the great vessels - ascending aorta, pulmonary trunk and superior vena cava.

A

The pericardium is a fibroserous membrane that encloses the heart and the roots of the great vessels - ascending aorta, pulmonary trunk and superior vena cava.

49
Q

How is the visceral pericardium also known?

A

Epicardium – forms the outer layer of the heart

50
Q

. If bleeding occurred into the intact pericardial sac, how would the heart function be impaired?

A

Cardiac tamponade

and the build up of blood/fluid would impair the contraction power of the heart walls thereby decreasing the ability of the heart to pump blood. The reason being that the fibrous pericardium cannot expand as easily with the increasing volume, thereby pushing on the heart muscle instead.

51
Q

The phrenic nerve runs ______ to the hilum of the lung

The vagus runs ________ to the hilum of the lung

A

anterior

posterior

52
Q

Identify the phrenic and vagus nerves on both the left and right side of the thorax

A
53
Q

Q6. Which branch of the vagus nerve curves underneath the arch of the aorta?

A

Left recurrent laryngeal nerve which goes on to supply the muscles of the larynx except for cricothyroid.

54
Q

The recurrent laryngeal nerves are branches from_______

A

he Vagus (Cranial nerve X) that supply motor innervation to the muscles of the larynx

55
Q

Why are recurrent laryngeal nerves called recurrent?

A

They are called “recurrent” because when they branch off from the vagus, they re-ascend the neck (hence recurrent) to supply the larynx - they also have differing anatomical pathways because one branch gets caught around the arch of the aorta.

56
Q
A
57
Q

What is the conduction system influenced by?

A

the sympathetic (fight, flight freeze response) or parasympathetic (rest and digest) components of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).

60
Q

61
Q
A
62
Q
A
63
Q
  1. Atrial depolarisation (P wave) – beginning of atrial contraction
  2. Ventricles are depolarised (ST segment) – semilunar valves open
  3. Ventricular depolarisation (QRS complex) – AV valves close

. The average adult pulse rate at rest is

A

60 - 80 beats per minute

70
Q

What can cause your average heart rate to be higher?

A

exercise, injury, illness and emotion may produce much faster rates

71
Q

What causes a pulse to be generated?

A

Most pulses are named after the artery where it can be found. Below are examples of where pulses can be felt in 10 major locations on each side of the body. The accessible radial artery in the wrist is one of the most routinely palpated. You can palpate a pulse by putting a gentle pressure over the artery with the pads of the index and middle fingers.
