Where is the Heart
In the mediastinum more on the LEFT side
Apex of the heart
the Point bottom
2 Layers or the Pericardium
1) Fibrous pericardium 2) Serous pericardium ( parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium
Where is the pericardium Cavity between?
The Parietal and visceral pericardium
Walls of the Heart (layers)
1) Epicardium (Visceral pericardium) (outer) 2) Myocardium(cardiac muscle) 3) endocardium(innermost)(areolar connective tissue)
Cardiac muscle
1) 1-2 nuclei 2) branched fibers 3) Mitochondria 3) striated 4) intercalated discs
Heart valves
Atrioventricular and Semilunar
Atrioventricular valves
1) Tricuspid 2) Bicuspid(mitral)
Semilunar valves
1) Pulmonary semilunar 2) Aortic Semilunar
Fibrous Skeleton
1) Dense; irreg Ct between atria and ventricles 2) Anchors Valves 3) Prevents electrical activity from going atria to ventricles
