Bicuspid Valve |
"Mitral valve" |
|
|
Pericardium |
a double walled sac around the heart composed of a deep two layer serous pericardium Parietal layer- lines the internal surface of the fibrous pericardium Visceral layer- of epicardium lines the surface of the heart Separated by the fluid-filled pericardial cavity |
|
|
Atria |
receiving chambers of the heart, each have a protruding auricle, enters R from sup and inf vena cava and coronary sinus, enters L from pulmonary veins |
|
|
Ventricles |
discharging chambers, papillary muscles mark ventricular walls, R pumps blood into the pulmonary trunk, L pumps blood into aorta |
|
|
Pulmonary trunk |
splits into R and L pulmonary arteries |
|
|
Ascending Aorta |
three branches- brachiocephalic, L common carotid, subclavian arteries |
|
|
Atrioventricular Valves |
lie between the atria and ventricles, prevent back flow into the atria when ventricles contract, chorae tendineae anchor AV valves to papillary muscles in ventricles |
|
|
Semilunar Valves |
semilunar valves prevent back flow of blood into the ventricles (from blood vessels), three half-moon cup-shaped flaps 1.) aortic semilunar valve- lies btwn the left ventricle and the aorta 2.) Pulmonary semilunar valve- lies btwn the R ventricle and the pulmonary trunk |
|
|
Arteries Vs Veins |
Artery walls thicker, more muscles, and increased BP Veins have valves |
|
|
Heart Makeup |
endocardium, myocardium, pericardium (prevent infection, protection, reducing friction |
|
|
Auricle |
allows atria to expand, one on each atria |
|
|
Eversion |
valves messing up |
|
|
Coronary Arteries |
When interventricular pressure decreases and blood cant go down or up only into coronary |
|
|
Emboli |
bubbles of air --> can get stuck |
|
|
Interventricular Septum in Bovine |
Os Cordis touching but useless |
|
|
Creatinine |
an important value to monitor kidney function |
|
|
Blood Urea Nitrogen |
made in liver and removed from the body by the kidneys, helps us evaluate both of these organs |
|
|
Glucose |
elevated levels can indicate such as diabetes, low levels can be ass. w/ liver disease/other |
|
|
Thyroxine Test |
an excellent screening test for function of thyroid gland in dogs and cats, the thyroid glands play a major role in metabolism |
