Q

why did the ductus arteriosus close

A

after birth due to smooth muscle contraction (vasoconstriction) + oxygen meaning blood to lungs (less resistance)

Q

two parts of atria

A

1) main part: smooth internal wall for laminar flow (no turbulance/loss of energy)
2) atrial appendage (auricle): trabeculated for 3D flow/contraction
- different origins in developing embryo

Q

LV:RV thickness ratio

A

26
Q

LV:RV pressure ratio

A

5:1

27
Q

pressure in LV

A

(0-8) - 120 mm Hg

28
Q

pressure in RV

A

(0-5) - 27 mm Hg

29
Q

moderator band

A
  • red
  • made of muscle not CT
  • contains Purkinje (modified cardiac muscle) fibres
  • shortcut as too late for electrical signal to go to last papillary
30
Q

tricuspid valve

A

soft and transparent but strong

31
Q

chordae tendineae

A

heart strings
- tough white connective tissue cords

32
Q

why does LV not have a moderator band

A

more extensive purkinje network + larger/stronger papillary/chordae tendineae as LV must withstand more pressure to prevent valve inversion
+ LV more trabeculated than RV

33
Q

heart sounds

A

due to turbulance of blood not flaps clapping together
- first sound: heard near apex
- second sound: heard near base

34
Q

pulmonary valve

A

3 semilunar valves/flaps

35
Q

flaps of mitral valve are

A

larger than tricuspid valve flaps

36
Q

mitral valve during diastole

A

open
- chordae tendineae: loose
- papillary muscle: relaxed

37
Q

mitral valve during systole

A

closed
- chordae tendineae: tight
- papillary muscle: contracted

38
Q

infarction (dead tissue) near papillary muscle =>

A

papillary muscle doesn’t contract
=> chordae tendineae relaxed
=> valve doesn’t close
=> blood -> atria not aorta
=> heart attack

39
Q

aortic valve during systole

A

open + cover coronary ostea => blood can’t enter

40
Q

coronary ostea

A

opening to coronary arteries

41
Q

aortic valve during diastole

A

close + blood enter coronary artery

42
Q

coronary arteries

A

supply heart

43
Q

cardiac veins

A
  • drain deoxygenated blood into RA (flow into left anterior vena cava)
  • pinprick holes/pores on wall of RA
44
Q

fossa ovalis

A
  • translucent membrane in interatrial septum
  • remnant of foramen ovale
45
Q

foramen ovale

A
  • allows blood to cross from RA to LA
  • flap on the left side of septum
46
Q

closure of foramen ovale

A

at birth: increased LA volume => increased LA pressure and when LA P > RA P => flap closed => sealed by connective tissue growth around edges

47
Q

first heart sound is due to closure of

A

mitral/tricuspid valves

48
Q

second heart sound is due to closure of

A

aortic/pulmonary valves

49
Q

consequences of rupture of papillary muscle

A

inlet valve doesn’t close properly => blood flows back into atria

50
Q

potential cause of papillary muscle rupture

A

ischemia => insufficient oxygen/blood flow => myocardial infarction

51
Q

ischemia

A

lack of blood to tissues in blood

52
Q

why do outlet valves not require chordae tendineae

A

cusps remain stable due to cusp shape (semilunar) when valve closes

53
Q

blood through ductus arteriosus

A

90% of blood due to low resistance

54
Q

blood through lung capillaries in fetus

A

10% of blood
- lung not functioning
- surrounded by amniotic fluid => high resistance => hard for RBC to flow through
- only small amount of blood for lung growth

55
Q

ductus arteriosus

A
  • large fetal vessel
  • carried blood from pulmonary trunk to aorta
56
Q

blood through lung capillaries in adults

A

100% of blood
- air in lungs => drastically decrease resistance to blood flow

57
Q

if ductus arteriosus doesn’t close properly

A

blood shunted into pulmonary trunk since aortic P > pulmonary trunk P => more blood to lungs, less to body

58
Q

if foramen ovale doesn’t close

A

blood goes from LA -> RA => more blood to lungs, less to body

59
Q

interventricular septum

A

made of muscular tissue

60
Q

patent

A

open/unobstructed vessel; failing to close
