Quiz 10 (Heart) Flashcards
Two organs found in the mediastinum
heart
trachea
where major blood vessels come off the heart
base
pointy end of heart that sites by left lung
apex
separates atria from ventricles (wall)
atrioventricular septum
groove that goes all the way around the heart (encircles the base)
coronary sulcus
another name for coronary sulcus
atrioventricular sulcus
separates right and left ventricles (wall)
interventricular septum
groove that goes down the goes down the front of the heart. Originates by the aorta and moves inferiorly towards apex
anterior interventricular sulcus
groove that goes down the back of the heart. originates by the inferior vena cava and moves inferiorly towards the apex
posterior interventricular sulcus
external landmards of the interventricular septum
anterior/posterior interventricular sulci
Layers of the heart wall (inside to out)
endocardium
myocardium
epicardium
another name for epicardium
visceral pericardium
endocardium is made of these types of cells
simple squamous epithelium
myocardium is made of these types of cells
cardiac muscle
the epicardium is this type of tissue composed of these types of cells
serous membrane
mesothelium
coverings of the heart (inside out)
epicardium
pericardial cavity
pericardial sac
pericardial sac is compose of these (inside out)
parietal pericardium
fibrous pericardium
pericardium in direct contact with the heart
visceral pericardium (epicardium)
space between epicardium and parietal pericardium
pericardial cavity
reinforcing layer of the pericardial sac
fibrous pericardium
fibrous pericardium is made of this type of tissue
dense irregular connective tissue
parietal pericardium is made of this type of tissue and these types of cells
serous membrane
mesothelium
Flow of blood through heart starting in the R. atrium to the ascending aorta
R atrium tricuspid valve R ventricle pulmonary semilunar valve pulmonary trunk R/L pulmonary artery R/L lungs R/L pulmonary veins L atrium bicuspid valve L ventricle aortic semilunar valve ascending aorta
Heart chambers
R/L atrium
R/L ventricle
receives oxygen pour blood from the systemic circulation
R. atrium
expandable extension of the atrium, atrial appendage, flaps
R/L auricle (depending on R/L atrium)
muscular ridges on inside of atrium walls that prevent blood coagulation
pectinate muscles
pectinate muscles are found here in the R atrium
anterior wall
permits blood flow directly from the right atrium to left atrium fetally while lungs are developing
fossa ovalis
closes 48 hours after birth
fossa ovalis
fossa ovalis name fetally
foramen ovale
opens into posterior superior right atrium
superior vena cava
blood comes to the superior vena cava from here
head
neck
upper limbs
chest
opens into the posterior inferior right atrium
inferior vena cava
blood comes into the inferior vena cava from here
abdominal and pelvic cavity
lower limbs
drains veins of heart directly into right atrium
coronary sinus
