Portion of heart
base
Portion of heart
Apex
Position of heart
Mediastinum
The heart is on the ___ side of the mediastinum.
Left
A procedure. A probe inserted in the esophagus/stomach, it takes an ultrasound of the heart.
Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)
Smooth. Simple squamous epithelium.
EndoCardium
Heart muscle. Intercalated disks for strength. Gap junctions for synchrony.
MyoCardium
Above. Visceral Serous.
EpiCardium
conical sac of fibrous tissue
Parietal Pericardium
Infection of the endocardium causes inflammation.
Dental cleanings = antibiotics.
Endocarditis
Systemic Circulation
Pulmonary Circulation
Vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Arteries
Vessels that carry blood toward the heart.
Veins
Ascending aorta
Superior vena cava
Right pulmonary artery
Pulmonary valve
Right pulmonary veins
Right atrium
Right ventricle
Inferior vena cava
Left common carotid artery
Left subclavian artery
Brachiocephalic trunk
Aortic arch
Arterial ligament
Left pulmonary artery
Pulmonary trunk
Left pulmonary veins
Left atrium
Aortic valve
Tendinous cords
Left ventricle
(middle wall)
Interventricular septum
papillary muscle
tricuspid valve
Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve
Disease. Valves stiff and don’t open properly.
Valvular stenosis
Disease. Valves floppy and leak.
Valvular incompetence
Disease. Ventricular pressure increases, blood leaks in the wrong direction out of the wrong closed valve.
Valvular Regurgitation
The rhythm of heart pacemakers.
Autorhythmicity
Primary peacemakers. 100x/min. Cardiomyocytes.
Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
Imitate peacemakers. Ectopic pacemaker.
Atrioventricular Node (AV Node) —
Conductive muscle cells. Leads from AV node through interventricular septum.
Atrioventricular Bundle (Bundle of His)
AV bundles splits into right and left…
Bundle Branches —
Large-caiber, non-contracle cells. Conducts electrical impulses to cardiac muscle cells of right and left ventricles. Contract about the same time.
Purkinje Fibers —
Na+ funny channels open, causes membrane to “drift”. Na+ In. K+ out.
Threshold —
Threshold met. Ca++ channels open causing depolarization. K+ leak channels close.
Action Potential —
K+ channels open causing depolarization of cell membrane.
Pacemaker potential —
Receptors that send input to the glossopharyngeal nerves (IX).
Baroreceptors —
Neves that relay input into the medulla oblongata.
glossopharyngeal nerves (IX)
Sends processed
Medulla Oblongata
The heart responds to ACh release. Decreases rate. Muscarinic (M2) receptors.
Vagus Nerve Parasympathetic
