Lecture 1- normal anatomy Flashcards
what is not located in the mediastinum
lungs
where is the apex of the heart
5th intercostal space of the mid-clavicular line
what are the 3 tissue layers surrounding the heart
pericardium- outer
myocardium- m layer
endocardium- inner
what makes up the pericardium layer of the heart
- fibrous- anchored to diaphragm
- parietal- pericardial fluid
- visceral (epicardium)- contains coronary arteries
what is the function of pericardial fluid
decrease friction during the heart cycle
what is contained in the endocardium
valves
chordae tendinae
electrical components
who is most at risk for endocarditis
IV drug users
what are the atrias seperated by
interatrial septum
which atria has thicker walls
left due to the higher pressure of blood coming from pulmonary circulation
what mm contribute to strength of atrial contraction
pectinate m
what are the ventricles separated by
interventricular septum
what are valves
leaflets attached to papillary m via chordae tendinae
when do the AV valves prevent backflow
during ventricular contraction
when do the SL valves prevent backflow
ventricular relaxation
when do the coronary arteries receive blood
during ventricular relaxation while the aortic valve is closed
what arteries branch off the L coronary artery
L anterior descending
circumflex
what does the L anterior descending artery give blood supply to
anterior L ventricle
anterior 2/3 IV septum
small R ventricle
what does the circumflex artery give blood supply to
L atrium
postlat L ventricle
SA node 40%
bundle of his
what arteries branch off the R coronary artery
R marginal artery
R posterior descending
what does the R marginal artery give blood supply to
lat R ventricle
what does the R post descending artery give blood supply to
inf L ventricle
post 1/3 IV septum
what does the R coronary artery give blood supply to
R atrium
SA node 60%
AV node
