the central compartment in the chest between the lungs that contains the heart, major blood vessels, trachea, esophagus, and thymus.
grooves between the heart chambers
contain fat and coronary blood vessels
type of heart wall
thin, very elastic
pump blood to ventricles
ventricular walls
atrial walls
type of heart wall
thick, very muscular
pump blood to lungs
ventricular walls
atrial walls
Outer Walls of the Heart
thin, outer layer,
also called visceral layer of serous pericardium
the sac surrounding the heart).
Myocardium
Epicardium
Endocardium
Outer Walls of the Heart
middle layer
made up of cardiac muscle tissue
responsible for the heart's contractions that pump blood
Myocardium
Epicardium
Endocardium
Outer Walls of the Heart
thin, inner lining that covers the heart chambers and valves
Myocardium
Epicardium
Endocardium
outermost layer of the pericardial sac that encloses the heart
dense irregular CT
protects, anchors the heart
prevents overstretching
which myocardium is thicker ?
Left ventricle myocardium is thicker.
AV (atrioventricular) valves are between?
Semilunarvalves are between?
what is the purpose of Tricuspid Valve?
What is the purpose of Bicuspid (mitral) Valve?
only present in AV valves
attach flaps of AV valves to papillary muscles
prevent eversion of AV valves
Chordae tendinae
prevents backflow of blood from pulmonary trunk to R ventricle
prevents backflow of blood from aorta to L ventricle
largest artery of the body
arises from L ventricle
contraction of a ventricle
Systole
Diastole
relaxation of a ventricle
Systole
Diastole
The 3 main stages of Cardiac Cycle
Early Diastole
Mid-to-late Diastole
Ventricular Systole
Atria is relaxed
low blood pressure in the heart
End Diastolic Volume (EDV) is about 130ml
Early Diastole
Mid-to-late Diastole
Ventricular Systole
blood enters pulmonary trunk and ascending aorta
End Systolic Volume (ESV) in the ventricle is 60ml
Early Diastole
Mid-to-late Diastole
Ventricular Systole
ventricles relax
SL valves shut to prevent back flow
atria begin to fill with blood
Early Diastole
Mid-to-late Diastole
Ventricular Systole
In Mid-to-late diastole (relaxation), the valves are:
AV valves are open
SL valves are closed
AV valves are closed
SL valves are open
In ventricular systole, the valves are:
AV valves are open
SL valves are closed
AV valves are closed
SL valves are open
In early diastole, the valves are:
AV valves are open
SL valves are closed
AV valves are closed
SL valves are open
the "lubb" sound is associated with
closure of the atrioventricular (AV) valves
opening of the semilunar (SL) valves
opening of the atrioventricular (AV) valves
closure of the semilunar (SL) valves
the "DUPP" sound is associated with
closure of the atrioventricular (AV) valves
opening of the semilunar (SL) valves
opening of the atrioventricular (AV) valves
closure of the semilunar (SL) valves
amount of blood required by the heart
1/15
1/50
1/30
1/20
vessels that supply the heart with blood
which LEFT coronary artery supplies both ventricles?

which RIGHT coronary artery supplies RIGHT ventricle?
Post Interventricular branch
Marginal branch
Circumflex branch
Left Anterior Descending (LAD)
union of branches of two or more arteries supplying the same body region
what is the role of anastomoses during collateral circulation?
restrict blood flow during collateral circulation
enhance oxygen consumption in tissues
provide alternate routes
prevent blood vessel formation in collateral circulation
