Thorax Flashcards
Retromammary space
space b/w breasts and investing layer (fascia) of pec major
Breast arterial supply
Internal thoracic branches
Lateral thoracic
Post intercostal aa (cutaneous branches)

2. Visceral (surface of heart) AKA epicardium
What are the layers of the heart?
Epicardium (visceral pericardium)
Myocardium (majority of heart)
Endocardium (membranous layer continuous with lining of vessels)
Fibrous pericardium attached to diaphragm via…
pericardiacophrenic ligament
Blood vessels that run on pericardium
Pericardio-phrenic a and v
Apex of the heart points in what direction
Down to left
What kind of blood on
Right side
Left side
of heart?
Right: venous return from body
Left: oxygenated from lungs
Cardiac circuit blood vessel
What chamber does vessel dump into?

Left common carotid a
Left subclavian a
Valves of heart
Atrioventricular valves (R: Tricuspid, L: Mitral)
Pulmonary valve
