Heart Flashcards
Direction of the axis of heart/direction of apex
Downwards, fowards & to the left
Mention proportions of the heart to right & left
2/3 to L
1/3 to R
Of median plane
Apex of heart is formed by ….., while base of heart is formed by ……
Left ventricle Left atrium (mainly) & right atrium
Mention vessels recieved in base of heart.
Pulmonary veins on right & left sides of left atrium
SVC & IVC sup & inf to right atrium
Direction of basexof heart
Backwards to the right
Surface anatomy of apex of heart
Left 5th intercostal space, 9cm from median plane
Sup & inf relations of base of heart
S: pulmonary arteries
I: coronary sulcus lodging coronary sinus
Post relation of base of heart
Oblique sinus, fibrous pericardium, esophagus, descending thoracic aorta, T5-T8 in recumbent & T6-T9 in erect)
Sternocostal surface of heart is formed by ….
Right atrium, right ventricle (2/3), left ventricle (1/3) separated by ant IV groove.
Pericardium separates sternocostal surface from ….
Body of sternum, sternocostalis, 3rd-6th costal cartialges
Diaphragmatic surface of heart is formed by ….
Left ventricle (mainly), right ventricle, right atrium.
Diaphragmatic surface is separated from base of heart by ….
Coronary sulcus lodging coronary sinus
Mention structures forming right and left pulmonary surfaces
R: right atrium
L: left ventricle, left auricle, small oart of left atrium
Describe borders of the heart
R: convex, formed by right atrium
I: horizontal, right ventricle & apical part of left
L: convex, left ventricle & part of left auricle
S: straight, 2 atria mainly left behind great vessels
Mention contents if atrioventricular groove
Main trunks of coronary arteries
Coronary sinus in its posterior part
Mention contents if ant IV groove
Anterior IV branch of keft coronary art
Great cardiac vein
Inf IV groove conetnts
Post IV branch of right coronary art
Middle cardiac vein
Point of juntion of atrioventricular & IV grooves is termed ….
Crux of the heart
Mention site of SA node
The upper part of sulcus terminalis which extends between the right side of orifices of SVC & IVC
The structure corresponding to sulcus terminalis inside right atrium
It separates ….. & …..
Crista terminalis
Anterior rough-walled part & posterior rough-walled part
Embryological origin of rough & smooth walled parts of right atrium
R: Primitive atrium
S: right horn of sinus venosus
Write a short note on anterior cardiac veins
2-5 veins collect blood from front of right ventricle & open into the anterior part of right atrium
Compare SVC, IVC & Coronary sinus in terms of valve & structure drained
S: no valve, upper half of body
I: rudimentary valve, lower of body
C: semilunar flap called valve of coronary sinus, heart wall
Site in which coronary sinus opens
Between IVC & Atrioventricular oriffice in right atrium
