Heart I Flashcards
Pericardial sac
folds up and envelops phrenic nerve. Has fibrous and serous portion
Fibrous portion of pericardial sac
fuses with central tendon of diaphragm
serous portion of pericardial sac
prevents friction
what does heart sit on
central tendon of diaphragm
VIsceral pericardium
on heart and great vessels
parietal pericardium
on heart wall
percardiocentesis
fluid in pericardial cavity
Where can you put a needle to deal with pericardiocentesis
subcostal/infrasternal area
lingual and cardiac notch
Where is apex located
left ventrical
what is the base of the heart
left atrium
anterior/sternocostal surface
right ventrical
inferior/diaphragmatic surface
left ventrical
left/pulmonic surface
left ventrical
borders of heart
- Left aurical
- RIght aurical
- Right atria
- Right ventrical
Superior border of heart
left auricle
right border of heart
all of right atria
what is in between superior and inferior vena cava
right atrium
inferior border of heart
edge of right ventricle and inferior edge of apex
atrioventicular goove
between atria and ventricle
coronory sulcus
crown of heart. coronary arteries sit in the middle
anterior interventricular groove
groove between two ventricles
interventricular septum
wall between two ventricles
diaphramitc surface
sits on central tendon
Posterior interventricular groove
on posterior side of heart. seperates right and left ventricle
superior vena caba
drains everything above diaphram
inferior vena caba
drains everything below diaphram
sinus venaium
smooth surface of right atria
crista terminalis
border between pectinate and smooth area in right atria
pectinate muscles
in anterior wall of right atria and right and left auriceles
left atrium
thick up high
thins at the fossa ovalis
coronary sinus
main drain vein of heart
opens into right atria
Atrioventricular opening
drops deoxygenated blood in right ventricle
