Pericardium and Heart Flashcards
Lateral Cutaneous Nerve 3-6 or 7
Innervates Breast
Anterior Cutaneous nerve 2-6 or 7
Innervates Breast
12 Thoracic Nerves
innervate intercostal muscles, 11 intercostal, 1 subcostal derived from thoracic vertebrae
Supraclavicular nerve
innervates breast; derived from cervical plexus
Right coronary artery
gives off right marginal artery and posterior inter ventricular artery, SA node artery and AV node artery
Left coronary artery
gives off LAD, circumflex, diagonal and left marginal artery
Cardiac veins
coronary sinus, great cardiac vein, middle cardiac vein, small cardiac vein, anterior cardiac vein
Nerves to heart
T1-T4 branches from sympathetic trunk, right and left vagus nerve are parasympathetic. Heart also receives input from cardiac plexus.
Epicardium
Serous visceral layer of pericardium, covers epicardial fat and myocardium
Myocardium
Thick middle layer between the epicardium and the endocardium consisting of cardiac muscle
Endocardium
Thin endothelial membrane that lines heart chambers including valves. Susceptible to ischemia and endocarditis. It has few collateral connections and is perfused by vessels that have to pass through contracting myocardium layers
Where to hear aortic valve sound
2nd RIGHT intercostal space
Where to hear pulmonary valve sound
2nd LEFT intercostal space
Where to hear tricuspid valve sound
Body of sternum
Where to hear mitral valve sound
Apex of heart (5th left intercostal space)
