L21: Thoracic Cavity Flashcards
visceral pericardium
= epicardium
serous memb.
below epicardium
mesocardium
holds arterial and venous supplies
parietal pericardium
= endocardium
serous memb.
fused to fibrous pericardium
fibrous pericardium is fused to
central tendon of diaphragm
and
to sternum
transverse sinus
space between arterial and venous mesocardium
oblique sinus
space between right and left pulmonary veins
the apex of the heart is located ?
down and to the left
base projection of heart
level of costal 3
apex projection of heart
5th intercostal
8 cm left of sternum
the pericardium extends up to the ?
sternal angle
3 layers of the heart
epicardium
myocardium
endocardium
visceral layer of serous pericardium + subserous layer of CT
epicardium
Ct layer = mesocardium
layer of heart that is the thickest and contains the cardiac muscle tissue itself
myocardium
layer of heart containing endothelium
endocardium
what is the cardiac skeleton and its function?
4 interlocking fibrous rings
rigid attachments for cardiac muscle fibers and support for valves
holds heart and its vessels in place
the apex is formed of the
left ventricle
diaphragmatic surface of the heart
rests on the diaphragm
mostly left ventricle and small part of right
sternocostal surface of heart
faces anteriorly
mostly right ventricle
inferior margin of heart
intersection of diaphragmatic and sternocostal surfaces
