anatomical relationship of heart with other organs (superior, anterior, posterior)
superior to the diaphragm, anterior to the vertebral column, posterior to the sternum, left of the midline, within mediastinum
What does the heart apex and base point to? (2)
apex inferiorly points to the left hip, Base posteriorly to the right shoulder
Name two Pericardial Sinuses and their position.
Transverse (anterior to the superior vena cava and posterior to the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk) the oblique (bounded on right by the inferior vena cava and pulmonary veins on on the left by the pulmonary trunk) http://anatomytopics.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/transverse-oblique-sinus.jpg
anatomical position of the apex (surface anatomy)
5th intercostal space midclavicular line
Name the sulcus on the heart surface (3)
Coronary sulcus: bet. atria and ventricles, Interventricular sulcus: anterior and posterior divides right ventricle from the left, contain coronary arteries.
describe the right atrium. 2 parts in the atrium.
divided by crista terminalis, Anterior: pectinate muscles, posterior: derived from sinus venosus and receives deoxygenated blood; fossa ovalis (remnant of foramen ovale)
difference between Left and right atrium (3)
no distinct crista terminalis, no fossa ovalis different blood received
Name the common structures found in Ventricles.
Trabeculae Carneae, Papillary Muscle , Chordae tendineae
name the special features in right ventricles. (3)
supraventricular crest (infundibulum and trabeculae carneae), septomarginal trabecula, three papillary mus.
Explain the term Trabeculae Carneae
Trabeculae Carneae is the interconnecting muscular ridges producing the rough surface.
Explain the term Papillary Muscle
cone-shaped muscle extend from ventricular wall to which chordae tendineae are anchored.
importance of septomarginal trabecula (moderator band)
it extends from the papillary mus to the ventricular septum. it prevents overdistension of the ventricle, carry the right AV bundle,
Special features in Left ventricle. (2)
separate into upper smooth aortic vestibule & lower rough ventricle proper, 2 papillary muscles
distinguish incompetence and stenosis (2)
incompetence (inability to close fully), stenosis (inability to open fully)
skeleton of the heart (structures, location and functions) (1+4+2)
nature: fibro-cartilaginous, locations: AV valves, semilunar valves, septum + right & left fibrous trigone between atria and ventricles, functions: support and attachment, electrical insulation.
the branches of right coronary a. (3)
marginal a., post. interventricular a., sinoatrial nodal a
the branches of L. coronary a. (3)
ant IV a. + circumflex a. + L marginal a.
name the cardiac veins and their positions
greater cardiac vein (ant. IV septum), posterior cardiac vein (L. marginal a.), middle cardiac vein (pos IV septum), coronary sinus (back to R atrium), small cardiac v. (R. marginal a.) without draining into coronary sinus: (2) Anterior cardiac vein Smallest cardiac vein
two cardiac veins that do not drain into coronary sinus
smallest cardiac vein and anterior cardiac vein
areas of auscultation (5)
Aortic valve: 2 nd ICS, RIGHT sternum
Pulmonary valve: 2 nd ICS, LEFT sternum
Tricuspid valve: 5 th ICS, right sternum
Mitral valve: 5 th ICS, MCL
name the three branches of aortic arch (3+2)
brachiocephalic trunk (R. common carotid a., R. subclavian a.), L. common carotid a & L. subclavian a.
structures in the anterior mediastinum (5) (anterior to posterior)
thymus, veins (brachiocephalic veins, superior vena cava), arch of aorta, recurrent laryngeal n., vagus nerve, phrenic n., trachea, oesophagus, thoracic duct, vertebral column
where do the vagus nerve hook to give rise to recurrent laryngeal nerves (2)
R: R subclavian artery, L: ligamentum arteriosum
innervation of the heart: (2)
sympathetic trunk via cardiac plexus, para: vagus nerve
origin and functions of phrenic nerve (1+2)
give rise from C4, motor supply to diaphragm, sensory (pain) fibers to pericardium
structures in the pos Mediastinum
• Thoracic descending aorta
• Azygos vein
• Sympathetic trunks & Splanchnic nerves
• Esophagus
• Thoracic duct
branches of thoracic aorta (7)
Bronchial, mediastinal, esophageal, pericardial, sup. phrenic, pos. intercostal, subcostal branches
Azygos vein origin and drainage (2+3)
origin: R. ascending lumbar and R. subcostal vein
drainage: R. post. intercostal veins (except 1 st), hemiazygos vein, accessory hemiazygous vein
Hemiazygos vein origin and drainage (2+1)
origin: L ascending lumbar and L. subcostal veins
drain: 9 th - 12 th L. posterior intercostal veins
meet azygos vein at T8
accessory hemiazygos vein drainage and anatomical postion (1+2)
drain 4th - 8th post. intercostal veins, from T4/5 intercostal space to T7 (join azygos)
where does the Thoracic Duct empty into?
junction of L. internal jugular vein & L. subclavian vein
origin of the splanchnic nerves (1)
sympathetic nerves from 5 th to 12th ganglia
