sulcus terminalis that
what is crista terminalis

atrium called the crista terminalis
what is atrium proper and sinus venarum
atrium proper is the anterior part of the atrium which consist of the muslce ridges called as the musculi pectinati and the sinus venarum is the posterior smooth part of atrium
what is the level of the following structures in the sinus venarum
opening of the corronary sinus, SVC and IVC
1)Opening of the superior vena cava: Lies at the upper part, opposite the right 3rd costal cartilage. Has no valves. 2)Opening of the inferior vena cava: Lies at the lower part, opposite the right 6th costal cartilage. Guarded by a rudimentary valve called valve of the inferior vena cava. 3)Opening of the coronary sinus: Lies between opening of inferior vena cava and tricuspid orifice. Guarded by a valve called valve of coronary sinus.
