Q

what serve as attachment sites for the myocardium?

A

the fibrous rings that surround the openings. also attachment point for the valves, and it’s also an insulator so atrial contraction doesn’t pass waves through musculature

28
Q

Sulcus terminalis

A

External vertical groove corresponding to the internal crista terminalis

29
Q

Ligamentum Ateriosum

A

travels from the superior aspect of the pulmonary trunk to the inferior concave border of the aortic arch.

adult remnant of the ductus arteriosus

30
Q

what two muscle “named” groups do you find in the R. Atrium?

A

Pectinate (rough)

and Sinus Venarum (smooth)

31
Q

Crista terminalis

A

the ridge that separates the pectinate from the sinus venarum

32
Q

sinus venarum

A

smooth muscle, the septa between the R/L atrium: called the the interatrial septum

where Venae Cavae and Coronary Sinus empty

33
Q

what is the septa between the r/l atria?

A

the sinus venarum –> interatrial septum

34
Q

Fossa Ovalis

A

oval shaped depression that is an embryological remnant

depression on the interatrial septum

35
Q

Opening for the coronary sinus

A

in the right atrium

36
Q

R/L Auricles

A

the little flappy things on the atria that clinicians call the “appendages”

37
Q

Foramen ovalis

A

the hole in the interatrial septum allowing fetal blood to be shunted from the r. atrium to the l. atrium

becomes fossa ovalis

38
Q

Atrial Septa defects

A

typically incomplete closure of the foramen ovale, roughly 15-120% of adults have small patency in their forament ovale which is considered clinically insignificant

39
Q

What do we find in the R atria?

A
Opening for R. coronary artery
Fossa Ovalis (in adults) 
Interatrial septum
Sinus venarum 
Pectinate muscle 
Crista terminalis
40
Q

R. Atrioventricular Orifice

A

passage from R. Atrium to R. Ventricle

occluded by tricuspid

41
Q

Tricuspid valve

A

covers R. Atrioventricular Orifice

42
Q

Tricuspid

A

has 3 cusps, separates R. Atrium from R. Ventricle

Anterior Cusp, Posterior Cusp, Septal Cusp
Chordae Tendonae: attaches free edges of the three cusps

43
Q

Chordae Tendonae

A

attaches free edges of the three cusps to the three corresponding papillary muscles

44

51
Q

Aortic valve

A

NOT an active valve, works passively because of the backflow of blood due to recoil of elastic aorta.

52
Q

What is the connection between the aortic valve and the coronary arteries?

A

there’s a backflow of blood due to recoil of elastic aorta when the aortic valve is passive shut, this causes the coronary arteries to begin filling when the myocardium is relaxed

53
Q

what function do the aortic sinuses serve?

A

they fill with blood because of the backpressure on the aortic valve, and they lead to the coronary arteries

r. aortic sinus –> r. coronary artery
l. coronary sinus –> l. coronary artery
