located mediastinum between lungs
30grams 9 cm wide 13 cm from base to apex
Heart chambers
R Atrium
L atrium
R Ventricle
L Ventricle
R Atrium
receives de-oxygenated blood
pumps to R ventricle
R Ventricle
pumps blood to pulmonary system
L Atrium
receives oxygenated blood
pumps to L ventricle
L Ventricle
pumps to systemic system
Heart surface
enclosed in pericardial sac
epicardium
pericardial cavity containing pericardial fluid
heart valves
R AV (tricuspid)
L AV (bicuspid, Mitrol)
Aortic valve
Pulmonary valve
R AV
Tricuspid valve
opesn to allow flow from R atrium
closes to prevent back flow
L AV
bicuspid
mitrol
opens to allow flow from L atrium
closes to prevent backflow
Aortic valve
opens to allow flow from L ventricle allow flow to the systemic circuit
