pericardium, heart vessels, impulse Flashcards
pericardium parietale
fibrous and serous layer.
covered by mediastinal pleura
ligaments
lig. phrenicopericardiacum (pericardium fibrosum to diaphragm in dog)
lig. sternopericardiacum (pericardium fibrosum to sternum)
sinus aortae sinistra
A. coronaria sinistra:
r. interventricularis paraconalis
r. circumflexus
r. circumflexus
from a. coronaria sin.
gives off:
r. interventricularis subsinosous(ca, ru)
r. intermedius (ca, ru)
sinusaortae dextra
A. coronaria dextra:
r. circumflexus (ca, ru)
r. interventricularis subsinosous (eq, su)
sinus coronarius
R.A
V. cordis magna
heart conducting system
consists if pacemaker cells capable of spontaneous electrical activity.
depolarization and contraction
sinoatrial node
autonomous, has highest resting rate of depolarization,
initiates cardiac cycle
primary pacemaker
SA node, overrides other pacemaker activity.
ensures coordinated contraction
what happens if SA node disfunctions
AV node or purkinji fibres take over
where is the SA node located
between the endocardium of the R.A wall, ventral to vena cava cran. opening
how is the SA node innervated
by symp. and parasym. nervous system
how does the SA node afftect the AV node
wave of excitement spreads to surrounding muscle, reaches AV node
AV node
atrioventricular node.
located in septum interatrialis
AV node gives:
gives origin of atrioventricular bundle
