trabeculae carneae
where are pectinate muscles?
atria
first branch from aorta
coronary arteries
left and right
borders of the heart
right - right atrium
inferior - left and right ventricles
left - left ventricle and some left atrium
superior - L and R atria and great vessels
what does the RCA supply
right atrium
right ventricle
what does the RMA supply?
right ventricle
apex
what does the PIV supply?
AVN
posterior third of IV septum
AVN blood supply
PIV always
what does the LAD supply?
anterior 2/3 IV septum
R and L ventricle
what does the LMA supply?
left ventricle
what does the Cx supply?
left atrium
left ventricle
heart dominance
PIV from RCA only - 70%
PIV from LCA only - 10%
PIV from both - 20%
be careful to see how it is worded!
SAN blood supply
60% RCA
40% LCA
apex beat
left 5th intercostal space midclavicular line
auscultation points for:
aortic valve
pulmonary
mitral
tricuspid
right 2nd IC sternal border
left 2nd IC sternal border
left 5th IC MCL
right 5th IC sternal border
only the mitral valve is mid clavicular line
you would think aortic valve would be on left since left ventricle is on left but it pumps to the other side
right phrenic nerve
travels along pericardium of right atrium
descends anterior to lung root
where does RIGHT phrenic pierce diaphragm?
T8 with IVC
left phrenic nerve
descends anterior to lung root
travels along pericardium of left ventricle
does not pass diaphragm at T8
vagus nerve relative to lung root
posterior
where does vagus pass through diaphragm?
T10 with oesophagus
where do the left and right RLN loop back up?
left - under arch of aorta
right - under right subclavian
which chemoreceptor does vagus innervate?
carotid sinus
truncus arteriosus
aorta
pulmonary trunk
bulbus cordis
smooth part of ventricles (outflow parts)
primitive ventricle
trabeculated parts of ventricles (majority)
primitive atrium
trabeculated parts of atria (auricular appendages)
entire left atrium
anterior right atrium
sinus venosus
smooth part of right atrium (posterior)
coronary sinus
oblique vein of left atrium
vena cavae
smooth part of right atrium
sinus venarum
which layer does the heart develop from
mesoderm
cardiac embryology stages
formation of primitive heart tube
cardiac looping
cardiac septation
layers of primitive heart tube, superior to inferior
truncus arteriosus
bulbus cordis
primitive ventricle
primitive atrium
sinus venosus
formation of primitive heart tube
mesoderm
cells from cardiogenic region form endocardial tubes
endocardial tubes fuse to form primitive heart tube
20-21 days
cardiac looping
bulbus cordis moves inferiorly and anteriorly
primitive ventricle moves superiorly and posteriorly
primitive atrium and sinus venosus move superiorly and posteriorly
only bulbus cordis moves differently
cardiac septation
forming the septum
at this point, there is one atrium and one ventricle connected by atrioventricular canal
endocardial cushions grow from sides of AV canal
cushions fuse to form left and right atrioventricular canal
first aortic arch
maxillary artery
second aortic arch
stapedial artery
third aortic arch
proximal internal carotid artery
common carotid artery
fourth aortic arch
right side - right subclavian artery
left side - aortic arch
5th aortic arch
regresses
sixth aortic arch
right - pulmonary trunk
left - left pulmonary artery and ductus arteriosus
layers of arteries, out to in
tunica adventitia
external elastic lamina
tunica media
internal elastic lamina
tunica intima
basement membrane
lumen
what are blood vessels inside blood vessels, and in which layer are they?
vaso vasorum
tunica adventitia
muscular artery examples
coronary arteries
femoral artery
radial artery
usually peripheral
difference between elastic and muscular arteries
elastic
- media larger than adventitia
muscular
- media = adventitia
types of capillary
continuous, fenestrated, discontinuous
how many muscle layers do arterioles have?
3 or fewer
end diastolic volume
100ml
stroke volume
70ml
end systolic volume
30ml
equation for ejection fraction
stroke volume/ end diastolic volume x 100
percentage of blood pumped out of the left ventricle during systole
normal value for ejection fraction
70%
duration of cardiac cycle
0.8s
duration of diastole
0.5s
duration of systole
0.3s
parts of systole
isovolumic contraction
ejection
parts of diastole
isovolumic relaxation
rapid filling
passive blood flow
atrial booster
isovolumic contraction
AV valve closes when ventricular pressure exceeds atrial pressure
but pressure is not high enough to open aortic valve
therfore isovolumic contraction increases pressure but does not affect the volume
this increase in pressure causes the aortic valve to open leading to ejection
ejection
aortic valve opens
only 70% blood is pumped out
passive blood filling
rapid filling at first
then diastasis reached
atrial booster
atrial walls contract to fill ventricles
the closure of which valve = dub
semilunar valves
window maker
LAD
are the heart sounds made by the valves opening or closing?
closing
