Heart Flashcards
Fibrous pericardium
anchors heart in thoracic cavity, fused to central tendon of diaphragm
Phrenic n. and pericardiacophrenic a. and v. travel inside
Serous pericardium
fused to fibrous pericardium
on wall = parietal
on heart & great vessels = visceral or epicardium
Oblique sinus
lower line of reflection between pericardium - under pul. veins and heart
Transverse sinus
upper space under aorta and pulmonary ar.
Separates inflow from outflow
Apex
Left ventricle
located at left 5th intercostal space on midclavicular line
Right border
Right 3rd costal cartilage to right 6th costal cartilage
Right atrium, SVC & IVC along this border
Inferior border
Right 6th costal cartilage to left 5th intercostal space
Right ventricle and apex of left ventricle
Left border
Left 5th intercostal space to left 2nd costal cartilage
Left ventricle and left auricle
Superior border
Left 2nd costal cartilage to right 3rd costal cartilage
Right and left auricles, conus arteriosus
Coronary Sulcus (Atrioventricular groove)
in front of heart (crown), right side to around tobe and back
Coronary a. sits here
Anterior interventricular groove
between 2 ventricles on front of heart
Posterior interventricular groove
on back, diaphragmatic surface between ventricles
Sinus venarum
smooth muscle surface of RA, come from blood vessel - posterior wall
Pectinate muscles
rough anterior wall of RA
comes from baby heart - wall of RA and in R & L auricles
Interatrial septum
thick up high, thin lower because of Fossa Ovalis (only on right side)
Opening to Cornonary Sinus
In RA
RA blood in and out
In: SVC, INC and coronary sinus
Out: to RV through AV tricuspid valve
Crista terminalis
ridge that separates rough and smooth muscles
Tricuspid valve contains
anterior, posterior, and septal cusps
Chordae Tendinae
ligaments attached to AV valve cuspse
anchored by Papillary muscle
Papillary muscle
anchors chordae tendinae of AV valve
Trabeculae carneae
rough walls of ventricles
Papillary muscles come off of
Muscular IV septum
thick lower in ventricle
