Thorax-mediastinum and heart Flashcards
The heart has two muscular pumps
pulmonary and systemic circulation
Pulmonary circulation is between
the heart and lungs
Systemic circulation is between
heart and rest of body
Within pulmonary capillaries Co2 diffuses from ___ to ___
blood to air
Within pulmonary capillaries, O2 diffuses from ___ to ___
air to blood
Within systemic capillaries Co2 diffuses from ___ to __
body tissues to blood
Within systemic capillaries O2 diffuses from __ to __
blood to body tissues
The visceral pericardium is made of epithelial tissue producing pericardial fluid, loose connective tissue, and fat, and is called the
epicardium
The actual muscle of the heart is
myocardium
The internal lining of the ventricles and atria is epithelial tissue called
endocardium
The groove between the ventricles on the anterior side of the heart is called
anterior interventricular sulcus
The groove between the ventricles on the posterior side of the heart is called
posterior interventricular sulcus
The groove all the way around the heart, between atria and ventricles
coronary sulcus
All of the LA can been seen on the ___ side of the heart
posterior
The area where the LV and RV meet is called the
apex
The LA and part of the RA makes up the
base of the heart
The ___ and __ drain into the RA
IVC SVC
The azygos vein drains into the
SVC
The RV goes into the
pulmonary trunk
The pulmonary trunk divides into the
2 pulmonary arteries
The pulmonary arteries carry ___ blood
deoxygenated
The pulmonary arteries go into the ___
lungs
The LV goes into the
aorta
The ascending aorta then becomes the
aortic arch
The aortic arch becomes the
descending thoracic aorta
There are ___ pulmonary veins that drain into the ___
4, LA
The pulmonary veins have ___ blood; there are two on the right and two on the left
oxygenated; R superior and inferior, L superior and inferior
The branch of the vagus nerve that runs behind the arch of aorta on the L side
recurrent laryngeal
Connection between the aortic arch and pulmonary trunk
ligamentum arteriosum
This a. is a branch of the ascending aorta located posterior to pulmonary trunk and anterior to left auricle
left coronary artery
The left coronary artery divides into what two branches?
LAD and circumflex branch artery
The branch off of the LAD is the
lateral/diagonal branch of LAD
The branch off of the circumflex branch is the
left marginal artery
This a. supplies anterior part of RV and LV, and anterior part of interventricular septum
LAD
This a. supplies the anterior part of the LV
lateral branch of LAD
This a. supplies the LA and LV
circumflex branch of LCA
This a. supplies the LV
left marginal artery
This a. is a branch of the ascending aorta located within the right coronary sulcus between the RA and RV
right coronary artery
There are 4 branches off of the RCA:
SA nodal, AV nodal, right marginal, posterior interventricular
This a. supplies the SA node
SA nodal
This a. supplies the RV
right marginal artery
This a. supplies the posterior part of RV and LV and posterior part of interventricular septum
posterior interventricular artery
