Q

Chordae tendineae location and function:

A
  • Fibrous strands that connect papillary muscles to free borders of AV valves.
  • Together with papillary muscles, prevent prolapse of AV valves during contraction.

Q

Papillary muscles location and function:

A
  • Internally projecting bundles of cardiac muscle.

Q

When do papillary muscles contract?

Q

Do aortic valve cusps have chordae tendinae/papillary muscles?

A
  • No.
  • Cannot prolapse due to their structure (form sinuses).
20
Q

Location of coronary arteries origin:

A

right and left aortic sinuses.

21
Q

When do the coronary arteries fill?

A
  • diastole.
  • semilunar cusps cover coronary arteries during systole. High velocity leads to low pressure. This would lead to blood sucking blood out of the coronary artery during systole.
22
Q

Label all:

A
23
Q

Origin and branches of the right coronary artery:

A
  • Origin: aorta in right aortic sinus
  • Branches:
    • SA nodal artery
    • marginal artery
    • posterior interventricular artery
24
Q

Origin and branches of left coronary artery:

A
  • Origin: aorta in left aortic sulcus
  • Bifurcates into:
    • circumflex artery
    • anterior interventricular artery
25
Q

Blood vessels contained within the coronary sulcus:

A
  1. right coronary artery
  2. circumflex artery (left coronary branch)
  3. coronary sinus
  4. great cardiac vein
26
Q

Blood vessels contained within the anterior interventricular sulcus:

A
  1. anterior interventricular artery (left coronary branch)
  2. great cardiac vein
27
Q

Blood vessels contained within the posterior interventricular sulcus:

A
  1. posterior interventricular artery (right coronary branch)
  2. middle cardiac vein
28
Q

Arterial anastomoses in the heart vasculature:

A
  • right coronary:circumflex
  • posterior interventricular:anterior interventricular
29
Q

Blood supply to right ventricle:

A
  1. Right coronary artery
  2. Posterior interventricular artery (RC)
  3. Right marginal artery (RC)
  4. Anterior interventricular artery (LC)
30
Q

Blood supply to left ventricle:

A
  1. Posterior interventricular artery (RC)
  2. Anterior interventricular artery (LC)
  3. Circumflex artery (LC)
31
Q

Blood supply to right atrium:

A

Right coronary artery

32
Q

Blood supply to left atrium:

A

Circumflex artery (LC)

33
Q

Blood supply to interatrial septum:

A

Right coronary artery

34
Q

Blood supply to interventricular septum:

A

Anterior interventricular artery (LC)

35
Q

Blood supply to SA and AV node:

A

Right coronary artery

36
Q

What determines right or left dominance of the heart?

A
  • origin of posterior interventricular artery
    • right coronary artery
    • circumflex artery (left coronary branch)

Q

Path of great cardiac vein:

A
  1. anterior interventricular sulcus
  2. coronary sulcus
  3. becomes coronary sinus (posterior)
42
Q

What veins of the heart drain into the coronary sinus, and where does the coronary sinus drain into?

A
  1. greater cardiac vein
  2. middle cardiac vein
  3. small cardiac vein
  • coronary sinus drains into the right atrium.
43
Q

Blood draining into the right atrium:

A
  1. coronary sinus
  2. IVC
  3. SVC
44
Q

The middle cardiac vein runs with what artery?

A

posterior interventricular artery

45
Q

Label:

A

coronary sinus

drains into right atrium

46
Q

What veins drain directly into the right atrium rather than into the coronary sinus?

A

anterior cardiac veins

47
Q

What veins drain directly into all chambers rather than into the coronary sinus?

A
  • least cardiac (Thebesian) veins
  • reason why blood leaving the left ventricle is not 100% oxygen saturated.
