Q

Explain the arrangement between chordae tendineae and the valves of the heart

A

The chordae tendineae is found ONLY in L&R atrioventricular valves (bicuspid/mitral and tricuspid) in the L&R atria

The tendinous cords arise from papillary muscles. During contraction, the cords tighten and draw/maintain cusps together to prevent reflux (i.e. from RV back to RA reflux)

Q

What are the two semilunar valves and how do they function?

A

Aortic & Pulmonary valves

Have 3 cusps (left, posterior, right) in place that prevent backflow by allowing blood flow from high pressure to low pressure gradient (L&R coronary artery openings in the)

65
Q

Describe the location of remnants of fetal circulation, and what structures they shunted blood between.

A

Remnants:
LIGAMENTUM ARTERIOSUM
located between and connecting pulmonary trunk to arch of aorta

FOSSA OVALIS

66
Q

Posterior interventricular artery anastomoses with _______________.

A

anterior interventricular artery

67
Q

Explain the conduction system of the heart.

A

The components are a series of interconnected cells effective at transmitting conductive signals. They are not nerves nor axons. They are adapted cardiac myocytes that have lost contractile proteins, but can transmit signals.

Located mainly on R side of heart

Sinoatrial node (SA) > branches into Atrioventricular (AV) node and AV bundle

AV bundle > bifurcates into Left and Right bundle branches located at the AV septum and branch along walls

Includes the septomarginal trabeculae (moderator band) in the RV

68
Q

Explain the anatomy underlying cardiac referred pain.

A

Happens as a result of a connection between the somatic and visceral n.s.

cell bodies of visceral axons & general somatic axons (skin) are shared, therefore the brain can interpret pain in areas of the skin (L pectoral, shoulder, medial UE) from pain receptors in the myocardium during a MI.
