Heart Anatomy Great Vessels of the Heart [Vessels @ 417]

The video tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the human heart's anatomy, focusing on both anterior and posterior views. It covers the heart's surface anatomy, including the apex and base, and explains the four chambers: left and right atria and ventricles. Key landmarks such as the anterior interventricular sulcus are highlighted. The tutorial also details the heart's arterial system, including the aorta and coronary arteries, and the venous system, including the superior and inferior vena cava and pulmonary veins. The posterior view of the heart is also examined, providing a complete understanding of its structure.

What is the orientation of the apex of the heart?

• Inferior and to the right

• Superior and to the left

• Inferior and to the left

• Superior and to the right

Which groove separates the left and right ventricles on the anterior surface of the heart?

• Posterior interventricular sulcus

• Anterior interventricular sulcus
