Topic 5: CVS 2 Flashcards
What sre the 3 branches of aorta at t4 for
Upper limbs, neck and head
Wgat are the 2 branches from brachiocephalic (first division on the right)
Right subclavian and right common carotid artery
What are rhe other 2 beanches
Left common carotid and left subclavian
Where do the common carotid arteries divide into internal and external (producing 4 csrotid arteries)
Level of c3
What id the internal (inner cca) for
Supply to the brain
What is the external for
Supply to neck, face and scalp
Where is the point st c3 called
Carotid sinus
Whst do the subclavian arteries supply
Ipper limbs, thoracic wall, shoulder and neck (both sides)
Where does hesrt muscle het its blood supply
Coronary arteries (right snd lrft)
Where do ca arise
Superior to the cusps of aortic valve from the aotic sinuses
Which aortic sinuses
Left ca from the left (more posterior) aortic sunisband
right (more anterior) aortic sinuses
What drains deoxygenated cardiac blood usually into the coronary sinus then into right atrium
Cardiac beins eg small cardiac vein
What does left ca supply
Left atrium, most left ventricle, some right, anterior part of iv septum
What does jt divide into anteriorly
Circumflex (smaller), left posterior descending/iv branch
What does iv branch go along in anterior
Iv groove
Which vein stemming to coronary sinus is seen on left anterior side
Great cardiac vein
Which cein to coronary sinys is seen on right side
Small Cardiac vein
What does circumflex artery go slong
Left av groove on left border posterior where i
What does it join posterioy
Posterior iv branch (goes down on lrft side)
Hat is the vein on right side which does not go to coronary sinus posteritoly
Anterior vein
Other than small cardiac vein what else is on right side (branch of rca)
Marginal attery ( v small on right botder)
What is it called when somethint branches off the artery but rejoins
Anastomoses
Give example
Anterior elft descending anastomoses with posteror at apex of hesrt
What does right suplly
Right atriuk, most right v, some left v and posterior iv septum
What ca supplies the san in 60% of people
Right ca via an san branch
Where os the posterior iv branch
In the crus of hesrt (xone of ia and iv septum)
Where does sinus deposit deox blood from thr vrins
Inferior wall of right atrium
What does cafdiac muscle sdhere to msde grom collagen dense
Fibrous skeleton
How does the fibrous skeleton support gslve opening
Form 4 fibrous rings and 2 firbous triangles inbeyween the rings to prevent collapse
Which part of the ia and iv septum does fibrous skeleton provude
Membranous
Ofher than precenting valve collapsing what other functions of fibrous skeelton
Electrical batrier between stria and ventricles except at av bundle
Also provide a base for attschment of leaflets and cusps of valves
Is cardiac muscle smooth
No its stritiated
Is cardiac mudcle under voluntary control
No
Does it require stimulstion by ns
No
What mechanisms of contrsction does it have
Sliding filament comtraction betwern thick and thin sarcomere filaments
What allows cardiac muscle to function as a functional syncytium (contract together)
Interconnecting fibres between cells
How is this diff to skeeltal
Skeletal is more linesr ans doesnt have electrical continuity m
What are cardiac cells divided by
Sarcolemma
What is inside each sarcolemma for cells
Intercalated discs and fibrils
What are intercalsted discs for
Seperate sarcoplasm of muscle cells, hold cells together cia tight desmosomes, all electrical excitstion cia gap junctions
