Lecture 19- The Heart Flashcards
Myocardium of Right Atrium is supplied by what artery?
Right Coronary A.
Myocardium of Left Atrium is supplied by what artery?
Circumflex A.
Which chamber is the thickest?
Left Ventricle
Which chamber is the thinnest?
Right atrium
What does the atria contain?
Pectinate muscles
What does the ventricles contain?
Trabeculate cornae (& papillary muscles)
What kind of epithelium is endocardium?
Simple squamous
Intercalated discs contain..?
- Desmosmes
* Gap Junctions
Define sustole
Contraction of a chamber
Define diastole
Relaxation of a chamber
What do Atrioventricular (AV) Valves have.
Chordae Tendinae & attach to papillary muscle
Where are semilunar valves located?
Between ventricles & large arteries (pul. Trunk & aorta)
1st heart sound
“Lupp” = Closing of the AV valves
2nd heart sound
“Dupp” = closing of semilunar valves
Blood Flow Through the heart.
