Heart Flashcards
What structures make up the right border of the heart?
- superior vena cava
- right brachiocephalic vein
- right atrium
- inferior vena cava
What structures make up the left border of the heart?
- aorta
- pulmonary trunk
- left auricle
- left ventricle
- extrapericardial fat
Identify the following on diagrams of the heart: arch of aorta or aortic knob, apex of the heart, boarders, pulmonary trunk, auricles, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, atria, ventricles, left and right vagus nerves, left and right recurrent laryngeal nerve, left and right phrenic nerves, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, brachiocephalic trunk, right and left common carotid arteries, right and left subclavian arteries, apex, azygous vein.

What are the layers of the heart?
- epicardium - outer layer
- fibrous pericardium
- serous pericardium
- mycoardium - middle layer
- endocardium - inner layer
Which layer of the heart is the visceral layer of serous pericadium found in?
epicardium
Which layer of the heart lines the valves?
endocardium
Where are pectinate muscles found?
- right atrium
- left auricle
Where are trabeculae carnae muscles found?
- left ventricle
- right ventricle
Which structure do all the veins of the heart drain into?
coronary sinus
Where does blood from the coronary sinus drain into?
right atrium
Where is the oval fossa located? What is it a remnant of?
- located next to cornoary sinus
- fetal remnant
A “hole in the heart” occurs when the ______ does not properly close which causes a mxing of deoxygenated blood with oxygenated blood.
foramen ovale
Identify: superior vena cava, pectinate muscles, oval fossa, inferior vena cava, opening of the coronary sinus, conus arteriosus, supraventricular crest, tendinous cords, anterior, posterior and septal papillary muscles, septo-marginal trabecula (moderator band)
Identify the interatrial septum and right atriventricular orfice
What does the supraventricular crest separate?
- texture change from rigid ventricular wall to upper conus arteriosus
Describe the location of the conus arteriosus (infundibulum)
superior part of the RV that leads to pulmonary trunk
Describe the relationship and function of the tendinous cords and papillary muscles.
- tendinous cords attach to the papillary muscles and to the edges of the cusp on the ventricular side
- cords tighten to draw the cusp together and close the valve
- prevents regurgitation of blood back into the atrium
Describe the location of the septo-marginal rabecula. What does it carry? Where does it extend from and to?
- curved band that prevents overexpansion of thin-walled right ventricle
- runs from inferior part of the interventricular septum to the base of the anterior papillary muscle
- carries part of the right AV bundle which is part of the conduction system of the heart
Distinguish on diagrams the tricuspid from the bicuspid valve. When the valves are closed, are the tendinous cords loose or tight?
- tendinous cords are tight
Where is the oval fossa located? Where is the foramen ovale located?
- valve of foramen ovale is seen at left atrium
- oval fossa (indendation) is located at right atrium
Identify on a diagram the following: pectinate muscles, left auricle, pulmonary veins, valve of the foramen ovale, mitral valve, left ventricle
Identify: cusp of aortic valve, anterior cusps of the mitral valve, anterior papillary muscle, trabeculae carnae, posterior cusp of mitral valve, tendinous cords
