Pericardium & Heart Flashcards
Septum transversum is
Undivided part of Lateral mesoderm
Septum transversum contributes to →
- Central tendon of diaphragm
- Connective tissue of liver
- Fibrous Pericardium
Pericardium is;
FibroSerous Sac
Fibrous sac of pericardium is adherent to
Central tendon of diaphragm
Fibrous sac is derived from;
Septum transversum
Serous sac; derived from
Parietal layer → from Parietal layer of Lateral mesoderm
Visceral layer → from Splanchnic layer of Lateral mesoderm
Nerve supplying the Fibrous and Parietal layer of Pericardium;
Phrenic nerve
The pain in Pericarditis is mediated by Phrenic Nerve,
And referred pain to Tip of the Shoulder
Visceral layer of pericardium is supplied by (nerve)
Autonomic nervous system
Spaces in the Pericardium;
Transverse sinus and Oblique sinus
Boundaries of Transverse sinus;
Anteriorly -
Posteriorly -
Below -
Anteriorly - Pulmonary Trunk and Ascending Aorta
Posteriorly - Superior vena cava
Below - Left atrium
Boundaries of Oblique sinus;
Anteriorly -
Posteriorly -
On either side -
Anteriorly - Left atrium
Posteriorly - Parietal Pericardium
On either side - 2 Pairs of Pulmonary veins
Chamber of Heart which is in relation for both Transverse and Oblique sinus
Left atrium
Posterior surface of heart is formed by;
Right atrium 1/3
Left atrium 2/3
Diaphragmatic surface of heart is formed by;
Left ventricle 2/3
Right ventricle 1/3
Anterior surface of heart is formed by;
- Right Ventricle 2/3
- Left Ventricle 1/3
- Right atrium
- Right auricle
- Left auricle
Right Border of heart formed by;
Right atrium
Left Border of heart formed by;
Left Ventricle - Mainly
Left atrium appendages - Slightly
Coronary arteries derived from
Aortic sinus
Left coronary artery arise from
Left posterior aortic sinus
Right coronary artery arise from
Anterior aortic sinus
Non coronary sinus is
Right Posterior Aortic Sinus
Branches of RCA;
- Right Conus Artery
- SA Nodal Artery
- Right Marginal Artery / Acute Marginal Artery
- PIVA → Septal branch
Right Conus Artery Supplies;
Infundibulum of Right Ventricle
Other name for Right Conus Artery;
3rd Coronary Artery
When it arise from Aortic sinus, then it is called as 3rd Coronary Artery
