21
Q

Myocardium

A

Middle layer

  • thick, muscular layer
  • responsible for pumping action
  • not capable of regeneration (Hyperplasia)
  • Is capable of hypertrophy
22
Q

Cadiac Muscle Cells

A

1- Cylinderical branching cells
2- Single central nucleus
3- Intercalated discs

23
Q

Epicardium

A

1- Also called the visceral pericardium
2- External layer of the heart
3-Includes blood capillaries, lymph capillaries, nerve fibers and EPICARDIAL FAT

24
Q

Epicardial Fat weight and surface

A
  • Covers 60-80% of heart surface

- 20% weight

25
Q

Epicardial Fat distribution

A

Along Coronary arteries, over the right ventricle especially along the right border

  • anterior surface
  • Apex
26
Q

Epicardial Fat purpose

A

provide fatty acids to cardiac muscles as a local energy source in times of high demand

27
Q

Epicardial and Abdominal Adipose relationship

A

The more abdominal adipose present the more epicardial fat is present

28
Q

Parietal Pericardium

A

Rough outer layer of the pericardial sac

29
Q

Pericardial Space or pericardial cavity

A

exists between the parietal and visceral pericardial layers

30
Q

Pericardial Space Volume

A

Contains approximately 10 ml of fluid

31
Q

Pericardial Space purpose

A

acts as a lubricant, preventing friction as heart beats

32
Q

Major Hear Valves

A
  • 2 Atrioventricular (AV) valves

- 2 Semilunar valves

33
Q

Heart Valve Functions

A
  • Ensure blood flow in one direction through heart chambers

- Prevent back flow (REGURGITATION) of blood flow

34
Q

Regurgitation of blood

A

Blood flows back through the valve in the wrong direction

35
Q

Atrioventricular valves (AV) seperate

A

atria from ventricles

36
Q

Atrioventricular valves

A

1- Tricupsid valve

2- Mitral (Bicuspid) Valve

37
Q

Tricuspid valve

A

1- Lies between right atrium and right ventricle
2-Consists of 3 separate leaflets
3-Larger in diameter and thinner than mitral valve

38
Q

Mitral (Bicuspid) Valve

A

1- Has only two cusps

2- Lies between left atrium and left ventricle

39
Q

Cusps of AV valves are attached to

A

Chordae Tendineae (Heart Strings)

40
Q

Chordae Tendineae originate from

A

Papillary Muscles

41
Q

Chordae Tendineae purpose

A
  • anchors in the closed position

- prevents valves from being blown upward into the atria

42
Q

How do Chordae Tendineae work

A
  • Papillary muscles contract when ventricular walls contract
  • Pull the vanes of the valves inward toward the ventricles to prevent their bulging too far backward toward the atria during ventricular contraction
43
Q

Semilunar Valves

A

1- Pulmonic Valve

2- Aortic Valve

44
Q

Semilunar Valves Characteristic

A

Have 3 cusps shaped like half-moons

45
Q

Semilunar Valve Functions

A

Prevent back flow of blood from the aorta and pulmonary arteries into the ventricles during ventricular diastole

46
Q

Heart Sounds

A

1- First heart sound (S1)

2- Second Heart sound (S2)

47
Q

S1 sound

A

1- Associated with closure of tricuspid and mitral (AV) valves
2- Often referred to as “lub)

48
Q

S2 sound

A

1- Associated with closure of pulmonic and aortic (semilunar) valves
2- Dub

49
Q

Blood Flow through Heart

A
1- Right Atrium
2- Tricuspid
3- Right Ventricle
4- Pulmonic Valve
5- Pulmonary Trunk
6-Pulmonary Arteries
7- Lungs (pulmonary capillaries)
8-Pulmonary Veins
9- Left Atrium
10-Mitral Valve
11- Left Ventricle
12- Aortic Valve
13- Aorta
14- Systemic Circulation
50
Q

Right Atrium receives blood from

A

1- Superior vena cava
2- Inferior vena cava
3- Coronary Sinus
