Lecture 10 - Heart Flashcards
What are the 3 layers of the heart from superior to deep?
- pericardium
- myocardium
- endocardium
What are the layers of the pericardium? (4)
-superior fibrous pericardium
-parietal layer
-pericardial cavity
-visceral layer
What are the functions of the pericardium?
-protects + anchors heart
-stops over-expending
-frictionless movement
What is the myocardium?
cardiac muscle forming the bulk of heart
What are the functions of the myocardium?
-support great vessel + valves
-direct AP
-fibrous skeleton of heart
What is the endocardium?
-inner myocardial surface
What are the functions of the endocardium?
-continuous w/ vessels leaving and entering the heart
-one cell
What are the vessels that return blood to the heart?
-superior/ inferior venae cavae (no O2) –> right atria
-left/right pulmonary veins (O2 full) –> left atria
What are the vessels that take blood away from the heart?
=ascending aorta <– left ventricle
-brachiocephalic
-left common carotid
-subclavian arteries
=pulmonary trunk <– right ventricle
-left/ right pulmonary artery (no O2)
What are the anterior vessels that supply the exterior of the heart?
-right coronary artery
-marginal artery
-left coronary artery
-circumflex artery
-left anterior descending/ intraventricular
What are the anterior vessels that drain the exterior of the heart?
-anterior cardiac vein
-small cardiac vein
-great cardiac vein
Draw out the heart from the front view
-have fun look up photo
What are the posterior vessels that supply the exterior of the heart?
-left circumflex artery
-right coronary artery
-posterior intraventricular artery
What are the posterior vessels that drain the exterior of the heart?
-posterior cardiac vein
-middle cardiac vein
-small cardiac vein
-coronary sinus
Draw out the heart from the back view
-have fun
What are the atrial walls made of?
pectinate
What is the pulmonary circuit of the blood flow?
- right atrium
- tricuspid valve
- right ventricle
- pulmonary semi-lunar valves
- pulmonary trunk to arteries
- lungs
What is the systemic circuit of blood flow?
- pulmonary veins
- left atrium
- bicuspid valves
- left ventricle
- aortic semi-lunar valves
- aorta
- circulatory system
What is it called when there is a blockage in the heart?
myocardial infarction
What is the solution to myocardial infarction?
=anastomosis
-provide alternative routes given an artery gets blocked
-deliver blood
-useless when ventricles work
Where does the coronary sinus empty into?
right atrium
What is the anatomy of the heart valves?
-draw
-atrioventricular valve (AV) (tricuspid/mitral)
-chordae tendinae
-papillary muscles
Cardiac vs skeletal?
-form
-short/fat
-lay cylindrical
How is cardiac muscle interconnected?
intercalated disks
= flow ions
=desmosomes and gap junctions
Cardiac vs skeletal?
-nuclei
-1/2 nuclei
-multinuclei
Cardiac vs skeletal?
-interconnected
-intercalated disks
-motor unit grouping
Cardiac vs skeletal?
-cell to cell influence
-automaticity
-independence
Cardiac vs skeletal?
-mitochondrion
-20-40%
-2-5%
Cardiac vs skeletal?
-Ca2+ distribution
-low t-tubule, simple
-many t-tubule, elaborate
Cardiac vs skeletal?
-sarcoplasmic reticulum
-less developed
-complex
Cardiac vs skeletal?
-energy consumption
-aerobic
-anaerobic
What would happen if the cardiac muscles had a long absolute refractory period?
-tetanic contractions = stop heart pumping
