Q

What is the function of the fibrous skeleton? (5)

A
  1. keeps orifices of 4 valves patent & prevents over distension
  2. provides attachment for cusps
  3. provides attachment for myocardium
  4. provides passage for AV conduction
  5. acts as an electrical insulator by separating atria & ventricles so they can contract independently

Q

Where does the right atrium receive deoxygenated blood from? (4)

A
  1. SVC
  2. IVC
  3. coronary sinus
  4. Thebesian vein
17
Q

What is the order of blood flow through the heart?

A

RA
Tricuspid valve
RV
Pulmonary valve
Pulmonary trunk
Left and right pulmonary arteries
Lungs
Pulmonary veins
LA
Bicuspid, mitral valve
LV
Aortic valve
Aorta
SVC and IVC
RA

18
Q

In the fetal heart, where is IVC flow directed?

A

fossa ovale

19
Q

What is the fetal vein and what is its function?

A

IVC

It carries O2 filled blood from the placenta so blood flows from RA to LA bypassing the lungs.

20
Q

Where is the ductus arteriosus found and what is its function?

A

Pulmonary artery vessel to aorta

Diverts blood from RV to directly to the aorta. It is also a shunt.

21
Q

Ductus arteriosus allows blood to flow to either into the: (2)

A

lungs

aorta

22
Q

Where does oxygenated blood for the fetus come from?

A

umbilical vein

IVC

23
Q

Most of the oxygenated blood reaching the heart via the umbilical vein and IVC is diverted through the foramen ovale and pumped out the aorta to the head. True or false?

A

true

24
Q

The deoxygenated blood returned via the SVC is mostly pumped through the pulmonary artery and ductus arteriosus to the feet and the umbilical arteries. True or false?

A

true

25
Q

What does the coarctation of the aorta produce?

A

High bp in head

Low bp inferiorly

Note: It is a congenital defect.

26
Q

Identify:

RCA
Right marginal branch
LCA
Circumflex of LCA
Left marginal
Lateral branch of anterior interventricular artery
Left posterior IV artery
