Q

What is the function of the coronary sulcus?

A

It opens into right Atrium
And coronary veins take blood back to the coronary sinus

Q

What is the purpose of the atrioventenricular valve?

A

Prevents backflow
It’s an opening from right Atrium to right ventricle and also called the tricuspid valve

Q

What is the purpose of the left Atrium?

A

Pulmonary veins delivery blood to the Atrium so Atrium recieves blood from Pulmonary veins and it passes it to the left ventricle the the left AV

Q

How is the left ventricle diffrent from the right ventricle?

A

The left is larger and muscle is thicker and more powerful and it does not have a moderator band

Q

How does the systematic circulation work?

A

Blood will leave the left ventricle through the aortic valve into the ascending arch and the ascending arch becomes the descending aorta

Q

What is the structural difference between the left and right ventricle?

A

Right had a thinner wall and has less pressure than the left and it’s more pouch shaped

Q

What is the anatomy of the papillary muscles?

A

They are located on the ventricles and are responsible for closing the semilunar valves and prevent blackflow into the ventricles

Q

What is the purpose of the semilunar valves?

A

They prevent backflow from the Pulmonary trunk and aorta into the ventricles

17
Q

What are the aortic sinuses?

A

They are found at the base of the aorta and they are sacs that prevent the cusps from sticking to the aorta and are the origin of right and left coronary arteries

18
Q

What is the anatomy of the Cardiac skeleton?

A

It supports cardiac muscle fibers
And distribute forces of contraction and add strength and prevent the heart to over expand and allow the elastic fibers to return heart to its normal shape after contraction

19
Q

What is the Cardiac fibrous Skeleton made of?

A

4 bands around the around the heart valves and bases of Pulmonary trunk

20
Q

What is the purpose of the Cardiac (fibrous) Skeleton?

A

Stabalize valves
And electrically insulate ventricular cells from atrial cells

21
Q

What is the coronary circulation?

A

The blood supply to the heart

22
Q

What is the coronary circulation made up of?

A

Coronary arteries and cardiac veins

23
Q

What are the coronary arteries?

A

The right and left arteries
And they originate at aortic sinuses

24
Q

What is the anatomy of the right coronary artery?

A

It supplies blood to right Atrium and portions of both ventricles and also the SA and AV node and posterior interventricular artery and the marginal arteries

25
Q

Where does the left coronary artery supply blood to?

A

The left ventricle
Left Atrium
And interventricular septum

26
Q

What are the 2 branches of the left coronary artery?

A

Circumflex artery
Anterior interventricular artery

27
Q

What is the function of the arterial anastomoses?

A

Interconnecting the anterior and posterior interventricular arteries and stabilize blood supply to cardiac muscle

28
Q

What are the Cardiac Veins made up of?

A

Great cardiac vein
Anterior cardiac veins
Posterior cardiac vein,middle cardiac vein and small cardiac vein

29
Q

What is the purpose of the great cardiac vein?

A

It drains blood from area of anterior interventricular artery into coronary sinusc

30
Q

What is the purpose of the anterior cardiac veins?

A

It empties into right Atrium

31
Q

What is the purpose of the other cardiac veins?

A

They empty blood into the great cardiac vein or coronary sinus
