Heart Morphology Flashcards
Atria receive?
(2) venous blood
Ventricles do?
(2) pump blood away from heart via lg arteries
Pulmonary Circuit (Rt)
SVC/IVC–>deoxy blood into RA–>RV–>PT–>lungs
Systemic Circuit (Lt)
4PVv–>oxy blood into LA–>LV–>AA
Heart Rotation
embryo: RA/RV on R; LA/LV on L
fetus: Atria on R; Ventricles on L
Right border of Heart
right atrium; from 3rd-6th right costal cartilages
inferior border of heart
right ventricle, apex; from 6th right costal cartilage to apex of heart
apex of heart
part of left ventricle; located 5th left ICS at midclavicular line
left border of heart
LV, left auricle of LV; from apex to left 2nd costal cartilage
superior border
term/origin of great vessels, right and left auricles; from 2nd left to 3rd right costal cartilage
Atrioventricular (coronary) sulcus
separates atria from ventricles
anterior and poster interventricular sulci
separates LV/RV
anterior (sternocostal) surface
RV and slight RA
inferior (diaphragmatic) surface
RV and LV
posterior surface
LA
crista terminalis
divides the RA into two morpho divisions
anterior part of RA
muscular walls forming the musculi pectinati
musculi pectinati
small crisscrossing ridges in ant. RA
posterior part of RA
smooth walled, receives SVC/IVC and coronary sinus
coronary sinus
coronary vein of the heart
right auricle
small pouch-like appendage of RA that surrounded by musculi pectinati
posterior wall of RA
forms part of the interatrial septum that separates LA/RA
fossa ovalis
in posterior wall of RA; thin-walled remnant of foramen ovale
limbus of fossa ovalis
thick upper margin of fossa
foramen ovale
in fetus, allows blood flow from RA to LA (bypassing lungs)
probe-patent foramen ovale
minor ASD resulting from improper congenital closure
Trabeculae Carnae of RV
irregular ridges of muscle that line the ventricular lumen, including the moderator band
moderator band
specialized muscle that aids in the electrical conduction system
infundibulum (conus arteriosus) of RV
superior, cone-shaped part of ventricle that is smooth-walled and inf. to orifice of PT
posterior wall of RV
forms part of interventricular septum
tricuspid valve
right atrioventricle orifice, three cusps that have ventricular attachment and free margins
anulus fibrosis
ring of fibrous tissue that tricuspid valve cusps attach to
anterior cusp of tricuspid
anterior wall of RV
posterior cusp of tricuspid
inferior to anterior cusp
septal cusp of tricuspid
posteriorly on interventricular septal wall
chordae tendineae
attach the cusps to the papillary muscles and to each other.
