Q

thread-like structures connecting to papillary muscles and valve cusps.

A

Chordae tendineae

14
Q

➢ Location: Apex of the heart.

Valves of the Heart

A
  • Atrioventricular Valves
    - Tricuspid Valve
    - Mitral (Bicuspid) Valve
  • Semilunar Valves
    - Aortic Valve
    - Pulmonic Valve
17
Q

controls blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

A

Mitral (Bicuspid) Valve

17
Q

regulates blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle, preventing backflow.

A

Tricuspid Valve

18
Q

allows blood to exit from the left ventricle to the aorta.

A

Aortic Valve

19
Q

controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.

A

20
Q

Blood supply of the Heart :

A
  • Coronary arteries
  • Coronary sinus
21
Q

➢ branches of the sending of aorta. Venous drainage of the heart

A

Coronary arteries

22
Q

➢ main venous drainage of the heart

A

Coronary sinus

23
Q

Nerve Supply of the Heart :

A
  • Parasympathetic
  • Sympathetic
24
Q

➢ vagus nerve which is inhibitory to the heart

A

Parasympathetic

25
Q

➢ which is excitatory(stimulate) to the heart.
➢ It will increase your heart rate.

A

Sympathetic

26
Q

Impulse Conducting system of the Heart :

A
  • Sinu-atrial node
  • Atrio-ventricular node
  • Bundle of His
  • Subendocardial network of Purkinje /Purkinje fibers
27
Q

➢ located at the posterior wall in the groove between the superior vena cava and the right atrium
(Pacemaker of the heart)

A

Sinu-atrial node

28
Q

➢ located at the lower part of the interatrial septum
(AV node)

A

Atrio-ventricular node

28
Q

➢ a pale bundle about the size of a match stick located at the interventricular septum (upperpart)
➢ bundle of his moves little down to the interventricular septum, it will divide into a right and left bundle branch

A

Bundle of His

29
Q

➢ lies beneath the endocardium distributed throughout the heart.
➢ On the ventricular walls

A

Subendocardial network of Purkinje /Purkinje fibers

29
Q

Heart Sounds

A
  • S1 – first heart sound closure of the AV valves
  • S2 – closure of the semilunar valves
  • S3 – ventricular gallop
  • S4 – atrial gallop
30
Q
  • Representing the activity of the heart
A

Electrocardiogram

31
Q

➢ Represents rapid ventricular depolarization - as action potential spreads through ventricular contractile fibers

A

QRS complex

31
Q

➢ represents atrial depolarization which spreads from the SA node through the contractible fibers in both atria
➢ small upward deflection

A

P wave

31
Q

Circulation of the Blood

A
  • Unoxygenated blood from the upper part will drain to the superior vena cava; lower part – inferior vena cava = it will drain to the right atrium
  • It will pass to the tricuspid valve to go to the right ventricle
  • From Right ventricle, go to the lungs through the pulmonary artery
  • From the lungs it will get oxygenated blood
  • Oxygenated blood from the lungs - will go back to the heart through the pulmonary veins
  • Goes to the left atrium, the blood pass to the mitral valve to go to the left ventricle and will go to the systemic circulation through aorta
31
Q
  • Simple squamous epithelium
  • For easier diffusion of substances
  • The RBC will carry the oxygen and it will be passing to the capillaries to be distributed to the tissues. And the tissue will dispose the carbon dioxide, it will be circulating back to the heart and going to the lungs for expulsion to exhalation
A

Capillary Endothelial cell

31
Q

➢ represents ventricular repolarization
➢ occurs just as the ventricles are starting to relax
➢ dome-shaped upward deflection

A
