26
Q

the right atrium
-tricuspid AV valve

A

blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle

27
Q

right ventricle

A

receives blood from the right atrium and pumps it into the pulmonary circuit via the pulmonary trunk

28
Q

right ventricle
-tuberculae carnae

A

ventricular muscle ridges; cardiac muscle

29
Q

right ventricle
-papillary muscles

A

project from the walls into ventricular cavity. attached to tendonous fibrous cords to the AV valve, prevent it from prolapsing into the atria, help open the AV valve, composed of cardiac muscle

30
Q

right ventricle
-chordae tendineae

A

strong bands that project superiorly from the papillary muscles and anchor the cusps of the tricuspid valves
-composed of fibrous CT

31
Q

right ventricle
-pulmonary semilunar valve

A

at the opening between the right ventricle and pulmonary trunk. prevent blood flow coming from the pulmonary trunk back into the right ventricle
-purely mechanical; relies on gravity

32
Q

left atrium

A

receives oxygen rich blood returning from the lungs via the four pulmonary veins

33
Q

left atrium
left auricle

A

where pectinate muscles are found; expands the left atrium

34
Q

left atrium
-bicuspid valve

A

blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle via the bicuspid AV valve (muscular and mechanical)

35
Q

left ventricle

A

similar to the right ventricle but its walls are three times thicker and the structures are larger

36
Q

left ventricle
-aortic semilunar valve

A

pumps blood from the left ventricle to the aorta, prevents entry of blood during downphase. (mechanical_

cardiac veins

A

carry deox blood from the heart wall to the right atrium

48
Q

venous drainage of the heart

50
Q

where does the heart receive innervation from

A

cardiac plexus: posterior to bifurcation of trachea
-autonomic nerve fibers: sympathetic and parasympathetic

51
Q

innervation
sympathetic supply: thoracolumbar
from
function

A

from: superior 5-6 thoracic segments of the spinal cord
-increases the heart rate and force of contractions, produces dilation of arteries.

52
Q

innervation
parasympathetic supply: cranio-sacral outflow
from
function

A

from: cranial vagus nerves (CN X), only from the brain
function: slows heart rate, constricts the coronary arteries

53
Q

heart sounds
aortic semilunar valve

A

find at 2nd intercostal space at the right of sternal border

54
Q

heart sounds
pulmonary semilunar valve

56
Q

heart sounds
