Heart Flashcards
Where does the right side of the heart pump blood to?
Lungs via pulmonary trunk
Which side of the heart is more cranial?
Right
What chamber is at the apex of the heart?
Left ventricle
How much of their blood can dogs pump through the heart in one minute? Horses? Humans?
Dogs = 80%
Horses = 100%
Humans = 60%
Base of the heart
Dorsal, where all the thiings branch out from
5 Layers of the Pericardium (from inside to outside)
- Epicardium
- Pericardial space
- Parietal serous pericardium
- Fibrous pericardium
- Mediastinal pericardial pleura
Sternopericardial ligament
part of fibrous pericardium that attaches heart to the sternum
Phrenicopericardal ligament
Part of the fibrous pericardium that attaches to heart to the diaphragm
Two Surfaces of the Heart
- Auricular (left)
- Atrial (right)
Coronary groove
separates the atria from the ventricles
Most muscular heart chamber?
Left ventricle
Paraconal groove
splits ventricles on left side of heart
Subsinousal groove
splits ventricles on right side of heart
What three veins can drain directly into the right atrium?
Cranial vena cava, caudal vena cava, R azygous v.
Coronary sinus
Expansion of the great cardiac v. just ventral to the caudal vena cava and drains the heart
Intervenous tubercle
ridge in the right atrium that helps prevent turbulent flow from both vena cavae and directs it toward the atrioventricular opening
Fossa ovalis
Depressed area in the right atrium just caudal to the intervenous tubercle
What was the fossa ovalis in the fetal heart?
foramen ovale
Crista terminalis
ridge tha splits the right atrium and the right auricle
