Heart Anatomy and Vasculature Flashcards
1
Q
Label all (right atrium):
A
2
Q
Coronary sinus location and function:
A
- in right atrium to left of IVC.
- Receives venous return from most of myocardium.
3
Q
Rough and smooth walls of the right atrium and their division:
A
- Rough: pectinate muscle
- Smooth: sinus venarum
- Division: crista terminalis
4
Q
The IVC and SVC drain into:
A
- sinus venarum (smooth wall) of right atrium
5
Q
Label all (right atrium):
A
6
Q
Fossa ovalis location and demarcation:
A
- right atrial side of atrial septum.
- marks region where embryonic septum secundum and septum primum did not overlap.
7
Q
Limbus of fossa ovalis:
A
- upper margin of fossa ovalis - site of embryonic foramen ovale.
8
Q
Crista terminalis location and demarcation:
A
- Ridge that separates the rough walled from the smooth walled portion of right atrium.
- Marks embryonic junction of sinus venosus and primitive atrium.
9
Q
Label all:
A
10
Q
Rough and smooth walled areas of the right ventricle:
A
- Smooth walled area: infundibulum
- Rough walled area: trabeculae carneae
11
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.
12
Q
Papillary muscles location and function:
A
- Internally projecting bundles of cardiac muscle.
- Bases continuous with ventricular wall muscle.
- Together with chordae tendinae, prevent prolapse of AV valves during contraction.
13
Q
When do papillary muscles contract?
A
- Ventricular systole.
- Prevent pressure of ventricular contraction from causing AV valve prolapse.
14
Q
Ruptured chordae tendinae will lead to:
A
- AV valve prolapse
- tricuspid/mitral regurgitation and murmur.
15
Q
Label all (left atrium and ventricle):
A
16
Q
Label all (left ventricle):
A
17
Q
Attachment geometry between AV valve cusps and papillary muscles:
A
- Each cusp attached to more than one papillary muscle.
- Each papillary muscle attached to more than one cusp.
18
Q
Label all (aortic valve):
A
