Q

label and explain fxn

A
  1. inferior vena cava= biggest vein in body. receives venous blood from lower limbs. drain into left atrium
  2. superior vena cava=receives venous blood from head, neck, upper limbs, thorax to left atrium
  3. pulmonary trunk: carries deoxygenated blood to lungs. divides into L and R arteries
20
Q
A

1:auricle of right atrium
2: corony sulcus/atrioventricular groove

3: auricle of left atrium
4: anterior interventricular sulcus

21
Q
A
  1. descending aorta
  2. arch of aorta
  3. SVC
  4. IVC
22
Q
A
  1. left ventricle
  2. left atrium
  3. r atrium
23
Q

label and explain fxn

A
  1. left pulmonary artery: gives oxygen poor blood to lungs
  2. left pulmonary veins: bring oxygenated blood to heart
  3. right pulonary artery
  4. right pulmonary vein
24
Q

label

A
  1. pulmonary trunk
  2. pulmonary veins
  3. interventricular septum
  4. IVC
  5. opening of coronary sinus
  6. R pulmonary vein
  7. SVC
25
what is fossa ovalis?
remnant of embryonic foramen ovalis, that used to connect the R and L atrium. located in R atrium
26
with is ligamentum arteriosum
during fetal development, diverst blood from pulmonary trunk back to aorta. after birth it becomes fused, known as ductos aerolis in embryo
27
what separates R and L ventricle
interventricular septum
28
what valve separates L ventricle and atrium
left atrioventricular valve (Bicuspid/mitral)
29
what valve separaates R atrium and ventricle
right atrioventricular valve (tripcuspid)
30
what is the pulmonary valve?
prevents blood flowing back into right ventricle. semilunar valve at beginnig of pulmonary artery
31
what is aortic valve
at beginning of aorta, semilunar valve. prevents blood from flowing back to left ventricle
32
1.traneculae canae 2. tricsupid valve (R atrioventricular) 3. mitral valve (L atrioventricular, bicuspid) 4. chordae tendinae 5. papillary muscles 6. interventricular semptum
33
what are papillary muscles
thing muscles, control valves connected to valve leaflets through chordae tendinae. prevent prolapse
34
what are trabeculae canae
muscle ridges in right ventricle
35
which major veins supply the right atrium? what type of blood
SVC, IVC, coronary sinus. deoxygenated blood
36
which arteries does the left ventricle suppply? what type of blood
aorta, coronary and systemic artiers. oxygenated
37
arterial supplyo of heart
= right and left coronary arteries R: one branch= posterior interventricular artery. arises from right side ascending aorta, supplies RA and RV L: two branches: anterior interventricular artery and circumflex artery. arises from left side ascending aorta
38
what are the three major cardiac veins that drian the heart
great cardiac vein middle cardiac vein small cardiac vein all drian into coronary sinus, which drains into RA
39
SinoAtrial (SA) Node)
heart pacemaker. located on right atrium wall close to SVC opening
40
Aterioventricular node (AV)
located on right side of interatrial septum close to opening of coronary sinus
41
1. SA node (pacemaker) 2. AV node
42
atrioventricular bundle (bundle of His)
starts from AV node. give rise to Purkinje fibres that distribute to R and L ventricular walls
43
how does electric impulse propagate in heart
starts from SA node, propagates through and contracts atrial walls before reaching AV node. impulse passes thru ventricular walls via AV bundle/Purkinje fibres and lead to ventricular contraction
44
what affect does vagus nerve have on heart
PSN decrease HR arises from dorsal motor nucleus of vagus
45
what effect do sympathetic nerves have on heart
increase HR and force of contraction. arise from sympathetic trunk ganglion at the thoracic spinal cord
46
explain arterial supply heart
right coronary artery (from r side aorta) runs along r coronary sulcus. terminal branch= posterior interventricular artery left coronary artery gives rise to anterior interventricular artery and circumflex artery
47
explain venous drainaige heart
3 veins great cardiac vein: runs in anterior IV sulcus middle cardiac vein: runs in posterior IV sulcus small: follows r side coronary sulcus all drain int coronary sinus located in coronary sulcus on inferior surfaace heart this drains into RA
