Lecture 25: Thorax IV, Heart Flashcards
why is cardiovascular system necessary
for diffusion to occur in all regions in body
3 layers of heart
-epicardium
-endocardium
-myocardium
pericardium: definition and components
-membrane enclosing the heart
-consists of pleura, fibrous layer and parietal layer
the parietal layer forms what
pericardium
visceral layer forms what
epicardium
sternopericardial/phrenicopericardial ligament
connect fibrous pericardium to diaphragm
4 valves in heart
-pulmonary semilunar
-right atrioventricular/tricuspid
-aortic semilunar
-left atrioventricular/bicuspid
2 auricles of heart
right and left
where are auricles located in heart
on dorsal surface of atria
what structure separates the atria from ventricles
coronary sulcus
what structure separates ventricles
interventricular sulcus
conus arteriosus
-cone shaped outflow/bulge tract of right ventricle that indicates narrowing of chamber toward pulmonary trunk
-located between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
where is right auricle located (next to what?)
next to cranial vena cava
myocardium is
cardiac muscle
tricuspid valve: location
between right atrium and right ventricle
tricuspid valve aka
right atrioventricular valve
bicuspid valve: location
between left atrium and left ventricle
bicuspid valve aka
left atrioventricular valve
interventricular septum
wall of myocardium separating left and right ventricles
what muscles contract atrial walls
pectinate muscles
where are pectinate muscles located specifically
myocardium
what 3 structures constitute atrioventricular valves
-cusps
-chordae tendinae
-papillary muscles
papillary muscle function
anchor chordae tendinae to prevent backflow
function of left AV valve (bicuspid)
prevent leakage of blood back to left atrium during ventricular contraction (Systole)
function of right AV valve (tricuspid)
prevent leakage of blood back to right atrium during ventricular contraction
trabecula septomarginalis aka
moderator band
trabecula septomarginalis vs trabeculae carneae
-trabecula septomarginalis only found in right ventricle in mammals
-trabeculae carneae found in both ventricles
semilunar valves are found where
at the bases of large vessels/arteries located within the heart
aortic semilunar valve: location and function
allow movement of blood from aorta to prevent it from returning to left ventricle
