Heart Flashcards
Transverse Pericardial Sinus
Between pulmonary artery and aorta
use this space for bypass surgeries
Oblique Pericardial Sinus
Between pulmonary veins
Cul-de-sac
What makes up the apex?
Left ventricle
Where does the apex sit anatomically?
left 5th intercostal space
What makes up the base?
Left atrium
Fibrous Pericardium
1st layer of pericardium
fused to central tendon so heart won’t float around
Protects heart from over filling
Serous Pericardium
Parietal Pericardium
Visceral Pericardium
Pericardial cavity- sinuses
Pericardiocentesis
Fluid within the pericardial space that slows the heart down because it takes up space for the heart to beat
Sternocostal Heart surface
right ventricle
Pulmonary Heart Surface
left ventricle
occupies the cardiac notch
Diaphragmatic Heart Surface
Includes both ventricles but mainly the left ventricle
Superior border of the heart
right and left auricles/ atrium
Right border of the heart
right atrium
3rd costal cartilage to 6th costal cartilage
Inferior border of the heart
left ventricle
6th costal cartilage to 5th intercostal space
Left border of the heart
left atrium
5th intercostal space to 2nd costal cartilage
coronary sulcus
crown around top of heart
atrioventricular
ventricle and atrium separation
Anterior interventricular groove
between left and right ventricle on anterior of heart
Posterior interventricular groove
between left and right ventricle on posterior of heart
