Q

Chambers of the heart

A

4 chambers 2 diff types
Atria: is thin walled because blood is only pumped next door
Atria are the upper chambers Left and Right
Ventricles have thick walls because they pump blood throughout the whole body or out to the lungs

Q

Valves of the heart

A

Atrioventricular valves separate ventricles from atria
Two types :
1 Right AV valve: Tricuspid, blood starts here , then goes to bicuspid (Try before Buy)
2. Left AV valve : bicuspid
prevent back flow of blood
Semilunar valves: separate the ventricles from an artery
1. Pulmonary Valve
2. Aortic Semilunar valve
Always named after the artery they are coming off

Q

Vessels of the Heart

A

Arteries: carry blood away from heart, high pressure (Aorta. Pulmonary trunk,
Veins: bring blood back to the heart
Veins: Pulmonary veins branch out from pulmonary trunk stick out from sides of heart. Superior Vena Cava, drains blood from head neck and arms superior portion of body, Inferior Vena Cava, drains blood from lower portion of of body to heart

Q

Layers of the heart wall

A
  1. Epicardium
  2. Myocardium
  3. Endocardium
21
Q

Epicardium

A

Visceral layer of serious pericardium (visceral layer is epicardium)
Tissue: simple squamous and areolar CT

22
Q

Mycardium

A

Thickest middle layer
Tissue: cardiac muscle
muscle portion

23
Q

Endocardium

A

Internal surface of heart
Tissue: endothelium and areolar CT
Made up of endothelium (specific type of simple squamos)

24
Q

Auricles of the heart

A

part of the external anatomy of the heart

anterior part of atria, surface structure

25
Q

Coronary Sulcus

A

Part of the external anatomy of the heart
separates atria and ventricles
indentation around the heart . Think crown around the heart

26
Q

Anterior/Posterior Interventricular Sulcus

A

separates L and R ventricles

anterior and posterior indentation separates left and right ventricles

27
Q

Fibrous Skeleton

A

Part of the Internal anatomy of the heart

Dense regular tissue between atria and ventricles

28
Q

Function of Fibrous Skeleton

A

Supports and anchorage
Electrical insulation:
Electrically in atria will stay in the atria,
What happens in ventricles stays there, it keeps them separate

29
Q

Right Atrium

A

Receives blood from:
IVC and SVC
Coronary sinus: drains heart , small vessel, when blood leaves aorta, small portion will go into the coronary sinus so that the heart gets oxygen rich blood

30
Q

Features of Right atrium

A

Interatrial septum: wall dividing 2 atria

  • Fossa ovalis: small depression on wall of the interatrial septum
  • Pectinate muscles: found on anterior wall
31
Q

Right AV Valve

A

Contain 3 flaps why called tricuspid valve
Valve prevents backflow, making it go out pulmonary trunk
Lubb: heart beat makes lubb dub sound, lubb is the closing of the AV valves. When the ventricles contract that is the lubb sound

32
Q

Right Ventricle

A

Receives blood from right atria

33
Q

Interventricular Septum

A

Part of ventricle features

wall dividing 2 ventricles

34
Q

Trabeculae Carnae

A

part of ventricle features

irregular muscular ridges

35
Q

Papillary Muscles

A

cone shaped muscles attaching to chordae tendineae

part of ventricle features

36
Q

Chordae Tendineae

A

CT attaching to tricuspid valve, prevent prolapsing

chords that attach to valve they are what prevent prolapsing ( backflow, valves from flipping back)

37
Q

Pulmonary Semilunar valve

A

3 thin pocket-like cusps
Not as strong and tricuspid and bicuspid valves
Prevent backflow during ventricular relaxation
“Dubb:When the pulmonary semilunar valve is where the dub sounds come in due to it shutting= the relaxation portion of the ventricles

38
Q

Left Atrium

A

Receives blood from pulmonary veins (lungs)

has pectinate muscles

39
Q

Left Av Valve

A

2 flaps (bicuspid valve)
- Prevents backflow during ventricular contraction
- “Lubb”
Lubb sound made due to ventricular contraction

40
Q

Left Ventricle

A

Receives blood from left atrium
Thicker than right ventricle
**Thicker because it pushes blood to the entire body right side only to lungs

41
Q

Aortic Semilunar Valve

A
  • 3 thin pocket-like cusps
  • Prevent backflow during ventricular relaxation
  • “Dubb”
  • Makes the Dubb sound during ventricular relaxation, prevents back flow as well
42
Q

Conduction Pathway

A

Sinoatrial node SA node starts in right atrium send an impulse across both atria, cause to contract to the
AV node toward bottom of the right atrium takes the electrical stimulus to the ventricles av node only way to communicate to the ventricles
Then the stimulus is sent to the AV bundle that is in the interventricular septum
AV bundle splits into R and L bundle branches
Av bundles split into small fibers in the walls of ventricles that allow for electrical stimulation known as Purkinje fibers

43
Q

Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)

A

location is the upper right Atrium
it is the start of the conduction system
it spreads the impulse from SA node ( R atrium) to the AV node across to the L atrium

44
Q

Atrioventricular Node (AV Node )

A

Location: Lower right atrium
has a 0.1-0.2 delay
Delay is important: once AV node received stimulus it does not just send it off it hold it for .1-.2 seconds to give time for the heart to coordinate the contraction between the atrium and ventricles. The atria will contract first from SA node impulse once the Av node receives the impulse it will old to allow time for the ventricle to contract and the AV node to relax

45
Q

AV bundle Location?

A

Interventricular Septum

46
Q

Right and Left Bundle Branch

A

AV bundle branch splits into a Right and Left Bundle branch

Location : Interventricular septum

47
Q

Purkinje Fibers

A

Location: myocardium of ventricles or ventricle walls

Spreads impulse to ventricles from apex

48
Q

Atria and ventricle contractions

A

When atria contract, ventricles relax, when ventricles contract the atria should relax
