the heart Flashcards
Spaces of Middle mediastinum
Superior(above t4-5) Inferior (below t4-5) -anterior (infront of heart) -middle (the heart) -posterior (behind the heart)
build up of fluid under the fibrous pericardium leads to
A lot of pain
where is most of the herat
2/3 to the left
where is the apex of the heart
At the midclavicular line
where does the heart sit height
Intercostal space 2-5
layers of the heart wall superficial to deep
- epicardium (visceral layer of the pericardium)
- myocardium
- endocardium
where is myocardium is thickest
In the ventricles
where is the base of the heart
Posteriorly oposite of the apex
where do the great vessels come out of the heart
At the base of the heart
where is the apex of heart
the most inferior part at the tip pointing left
borders of the heart
Inferior (diaphragmatic)
Right
Left
Superior (where vessels come out)
surface of the heart
Anterior- font
Inferior- on diaphram
R pulmonary
L pulmonary
differnce between border and surface
Surface is flat side
Border is the sharp edge
do the r and l parts of the heart work separately
No they work together
how to know what side of the heart is the front
The aorta and pulmonary trunk(more anterior) are on the front
how to know what side of the heart is the back
coronary sinus in the AV sulcus
Pulmonary veins
location of L and R atrium
L: on the left anterior side
R: on the R posterior side
What separates the atria and ventricles
Atrioventricular valves
what is between the ventricles and the ejecting vessels
Semilunar valves
what separates the R and L septum
Interatrial septum
what separates the R and L ventricles
Interventricular Septum
what drains into the right atrium
superior vena cava-near the roof
Inferior vena cava- from the floor
coronary sinus- also the floor but much smaller
what happens to walls of the atrium as you go from septum to walls
Become more roughened
Roughed walls of the Right atrium
Pectinate mm
the line that dinotes the separation between smooth wall and roughened wall of the right atrium
crista terminalis
where is the fossa ovalis
In the right atrium, in the interatrial septum, superior to the coronary sinus
what is fossa ovalis a remnant of
Foramen ovale
The RIght AV valve
Tricuspid
cusps of the RIght AV valve
Anterior
Septal
Posterior
how is the AV valve anchored
Chordae tendineae to papillary mm in the ventricles
what is the texture of the Right ventricles
Roughened
Roughened wall of the ventricle
Trabeculae carnea
Muscles that extend from trabeculae carnea of the atrium to the chordae tendineae
Papillary mm
what is a band of tissue that extends from the Atrial septum to the base of the anterior papillary muscle in the right ventricle
Moderator band (septomarginal trabecula)
