Q

Describe the cardiac cycle(6)

A
  1. De-oxygenated blood enters right atrium through SVC, IVC, and coronary sinus
  2. De-oxygenated blood enters right ventricle through tricuspid valve
  3. De-oxygenated blood enters pulmonary trunk through pulmonary valve to go to lungs
  4. Oxygenated blood enters left atrium from lungs through pulmonary veins
  5. Oxygenated blood enters left ventricle through bicuspid (mitral valve)
  6. Oxygenated blood enters aorta through aortic valve to be distributed through the rest of the body

Semilunar valve function

33
Q

What are the 2 phases of the cardiac cycle

A
  1. Diastole (filling phase)
  2. Systole (emptying phase)
34
Q

Describe the diastole (filling phase)

A
  1. Blood enters right and left atria
  2. Atrioventricular valves open
  3. Atria contracts and blood fills ventricles
35
Q

Describe the systole (emptying phase)

A
  1. Atrioventricular valve closes
  2. Ventricle contracts and propels blood to pulmonary trunk and aorta
  3. Aortic and pulmonary valves close
36
Q

What are the 2 heart sounds, what cardia phase do they occur in, and why do they occur?

37
Q

What are the 4 auscultation sites of the heart

38
Q

What 2 arteries supply the hear

A

Right and left coronary arteries

39
Q

Right coronary artery arises from

A

Right aortic sinus

40
Q

Left coronary artery arises from

A

Left aortic sinus

41
Q

What happens when the aortic valves close

A

Blood collects in the sinuses and then flows through the coronary arteries

42
Q

Right coronary artery travels in

A

Coronary (atrioventricular) sulcus

43
Q

What is the main branch of the left coronary artery

A

anterior interventricular

44
Q

The left coronary artery travels through

A

Interventricular sulcus

45
Q

The coronary veins carry

A

de-oxygenated blood from heart to right atrium

46
Q

Coronary sinus

A

Drains all blood into the right atrium

47
Q

Mediastinum is bounded by

A
  1. Superior thoracic aperture superiorly and diaphragm inferiorly
  2. Anteriorly by costal cartilages and sternum and posteriorly by thoracic vertebrae
  3. Lined laterally by mediastinal pleura (lungs)
48
Q

Is the mediastinum mobile?

A

Yes because the heart needs to pump and move a lot

49
Q

What are the contents of the mediastinum?

50
Q

What are the 4 compartments of the mediastinum

51
Q

Describe the location of the mediastinum

A

1) Lies posterior to sternum and innermost intercostal muscles
2) Lies anterior to middle mediastinum
3) Extends from superior mediastinum to diaphragm

52
Q

What does the anterior mediastinum contain (3)

A
  1. Internal thoracic arteries
  2. Fat and loose connective tissue
  3. Thymus (in children)
53
Q

Label the anterior mediastinum

54
Q

What are the contents of the superior mediastinum

55
Q

What are the vessels of the superior mediastinum

56
Q

Label the vessels of the superior mediastinum

57
Q

Describe the vessels of superior mediastinum and thoracic cage

58
Q

What are the 2 nerves of the superior mediastinum

A
  1. Vagus nerves
  2. Phrenic nerves
59
Q

What is the location of the vagus nerve

60

What is the location of the phrenic nerve

61
Q

7 characteristics of the phrenic nerve

62
Q

4 characteristics of the vagus nerve

63
Q

What makes up the viscera of the superior mediastinum (3)

64
Q

What are the contents of the middle mediastinum (6)

65
Q

What are the 3 layers of the pericardium and describe them

66
Q

Fibrous pericardium fuses with

A

Great vessels

67
Q

Visceral serous pericardium is

A

part of the heart (epicardium)

68
Q

Serous pericardium

A

Forms the sac around the heart

69
Q

What are the contents of the posterior mediastinum (6)

70
Q

Name 5 characteristics of the thoracic aorta

71
Q

What are the 4 branches of the thoracic aorta and what do they supply

72
Q

List 4 characteristics of the esophagus

73
Q

List 4 characteristics of the thoracic duct

74
