- Which veins empty into the left atrium?
A
- Left and right pulmonary veins.
- Smallest Cardiac veins (veins of thebesian)
1
Q
- Which blood vessel arises from the right ventricle?
A
- Pulmonary artery
2
Q
- Which blood vessel arises from the left ventricle?
A
- The Aorta
3
Q
- What is the primary pacemaker of the heart?
A
- Sino-atrial node
3
Q
- Where is the primary pacemaker of the heart located? (AKA SA NODE)
A
- Superior wall of the right atrium in the crista terminalis
- further explanation
(at the junction of superior vena cava and right atrium in the posterolateral wall of sinus venarum, in the subepicardial layer.)
4
Q
- Where is the atrioventricular node located?
A
- Within the atrioventricular septum in the Triangle of Koch near it’s apex
Anteriorly: Septal Tricuspid leaflet
Posteriorly: Eustachian valve and Tendon of Todaro
Base:Coronary sinus orifice
5
Q
- Where does the atrioventricular bundle arise from?
A
- Direct continuation of atrioventricular node (Ashoff-Tawara node) follows along the lower border of membranous part of interventricular septum penetrates the right fibrous trigone.
6
Q
- What are the direct branches of the atrioventricular bundle?
A
- Left and right Tawara bundles.
7
Q
- Which impulse conducting item passes through the fibrous skeleton of the heart?
A
- Bundle of His
7
Q

A
- Vagus (X) cranial nerve.
8
