heart lab Flashcards
ventral view of heart shows
auricles, diagonal IV sulcus, aorta and p.trunk, bulge curvature
dorsal view of heart shows
straight up and down IV sulcus, veins of great vessels, flat (no curvature)
walls of atrium and auricle
atrium - smooth internal wall
auricle - irregular internal wall (pectinated muscle)
whats trabeculae carneae
found in ventricles and appear as ridged, irregular, and interwoven muscular bands. Provides structural support.
whats the thing that allows bypass of blood from lungs
adult - ligamentum arteriosum
fetal - ductus arteriosus
what allows blood from right atrium to left
adult - fossa ovalis
fetal - foramen ovale
whats moderator band
only found in right ventricle and is a extension of purkinje fibres (conduction of heart)
pressures of the heart
left atrium 2-12 mmHg
right atrium 0-8 mmHg
right ventricle 15 to 30 mmHg systolic diastolic 0 and 8 mmHg
left ventricle 90 to 140 mmHg systolic
diastolic 4 to 12 mmHg
whats interatrial septum
separates the right atrium from the left atrium in the heart. It plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the heart by preventing the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood between the two atria
