SMOOTH MUSCLE
a double-walled sac around the heart
composed of a superficial fibrous pericardium.
Pericardium
(peri means around, cardiac mean heart)
visceral
layer of the serous
pericardium
Epicardium
cardiac
muscle layer forming the bulk of the heart
Myocardium
crisscrossing,
interlacing layer of
connective tissue
Fibrous skeleton of the
heart
endothelial layer of the
inner myocardial surface
Endocardium
(inside)
Blood enters right atria from ______
superior
and inferior venae cavae and
coronary sinus
Blood enters left atria____
from
pulmonary veins
What is the functional blood supply to the heart muscle itself
Coronary circulation
What ensure blood delivery to heart even if major vessels are occluded
Collateral routes
what ensure
unidirectional blood flow through the heart
Heart valves
- Aortic semilunar valve lies between the left ventricle and the aorta
- Pulmonary semilunar valve lies between the right ventricle and pulmonary
trunk - Semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the ventricle
