heart anatomy 2 Flashcards
what is stenosis
narrowing of aortic valve
why is the opening and closing of valve a passive process
bcs it is all based on pressure
driven by pressure differential
what generate heart sounds
closure of valves
mitral valve is also known as
bicuspid valve
left atrioventricular valve
why valves of left heart close slightly ahead of valves of light heart
bcs left ventricle is bigger
what is aortic regurgitation
leaking of aortic valve blood flow in reverse direction during vent diastole
features of fibrous skeleton
dense connective tissue
for structure and support
electrical insulator
fx of fibrous skeleton
forms and anchors the valves and influences the forced exerted through them
what is os cordis
large constant bone lying near the junction of interatrial and interventricular septa
is the heartbeat neurogenic or myogenic
myogenic
anterior papillary muscle is connected to
tricuspid
what is the traingle of koch for
to identify location of AVN
AVN is located near what
coronary sinus
where is triangle of koch located
at the right atrium
what are the boundaries of the triangle of koch
tendon of todaro
coronary sinus orifice
tricuspid valve
