Unit One Pericardium/Heart Flashcards
What is the pericardium
Fibroserous sac that encloses the heart and the roots of the great vessels
The pericardium lies where
In the middle of mediastinum
The fibrous portion of pericardium is attached to
Central tendon of diaphragm
The fibrous pericardium is fused to
Great vessels adventitia
What ligament is attached from fibrous pericardium to sternum
Sternopericardial ligament
What forms the serous pericardium
Parietal layer, pericardial cavity and visceral layer
AKA of visceral layer of pericardium
Epicardium
What is the cells that make up the serous pericardium
Simple squamous
Function of serous pericardium
Secretes lubricating fluid
Does the fibrous pericardium stretch when heart is beating
No
If a vessel in the pericardium explodes/leaks where does it go
Pericardial cavity
Vessel leaking into pericardial cavity causes pressure and crushes heart and is called
Cardiac tamponade
What is the ligament from the fibrous pericardium to diaphragm
Pericardialphrenic ligament
What are the nerves that supply the pericardium
Phrenic, sympathetic trunk and vagus nerve
What is the main or big supply of nerve to pericardium
Phrenic nerve
Is vagus nerve sympathetic or parasympathetic
Parasympathetic
What are the surfaces of the heart
Anterior, right pulmonary surface, left pulmonary surface, diaphragmatic, and posterior surface
Aka of anterior surface of heart
Sternocostal surface
Anterior surface of heart contains
Right atrium, right auricle, right ventricle, left ventricle
Right pulmonary surface of heart contains
Right atrium and right auricle
Left pulmonary surface of heart contains
Left ventricle, left atrium (small part)
What surfaces of the heart are directed towards lungs
Right and left pulmonary surface
Diaphragmatic surface of heart contains
Left ventricle (mainly), right ventricle and posterior interventricular sulcus, interventricular septum
Posterior surface of heart AKA
Base
Posterior surface of heart contains
Left atrium (mainly), right atrium (small part), proximal parts of great veins (SVC, IVC, pulmonary veins)
What tendon attaches to the diaphragmatic surface of heart
Central tendon
Apex of heart found where
Fifth intercostal
What are the external sulci of the heart
Coronary sulcus, anterior interventricular sulcus, posterior interventricular sulcus
What sulcus circles the heart
Coronary sulcus
What sulci separates the atria from ventricles
Coronary sulcus
What sulci is present on the anterior surface of the heart
Anterior interventricular sulcus
What sulci is present on the diaphragmatic surface of the heart
Posterior interventricular sulcus
What artery and vein are in the anterior interventricular sulcus
Great cardiac vein and anterior interventricular artery
What artery or vein is in the coronary sulcus
Right coronary artery and coronary sinus
What artery and vein is found in the posterior interventricular sulcus
Posterior interventricular artery and middle cardiac vein
The right atrium contains what circuit
Pulmonary circuit
What are the spaces found in the right atrium
Atrium proper and sinus of venae cavae
Atrium proper found where
Auricle area
What is the external groove found on the right atrium
Sulcus terminalis cordis
Where is the sulcus terminalis cordis
Vertically on side of right atrium on outside of heart
What is the internal ridge of the right atrium
Crista terminalis
Function of crista terminalis
Separate atrium proper and sinus of venae cavae
When you pass the crista terminalis in the right atrium what is present
Pectinate muscle
Why is the inside of the right atrium smooth
Allows for better blood flow into the ventricle
Is the sulcus terminalis cordis and crista terminalis found in the left atrium
Yes but not as prominent
