Pectinate muscle |
Makes up the walls of the atria |
|
Myocardium |
Muscle that makes up the walls of the ventricles |
|
Chordae tendinae |
Attach the cusps of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves to papillary muscles |
|
Sinoatrial node |
Pacemaker for the heart |
|
Internodal fibers |
Innervate the atria and cause them to contract |
|
Atrioventricular node |
Delays the action potential signal to allow the ventricles to fill before contracting |
|
What innervates the interventricular septum and walls of the ventricle |
Bundle of His, L and R bundles branches and purkinje fibers |
|
Diaphragm |
Separates the thorax and abdomen. Contraction causes inhalation of air into lungs |
|
Ascending sorta supplies o2 blood to the |
Heart |
|
Aortic arch supplies o2 blood to the |
Head, neck, and upper limbs |
|
Descending thoracic aorta supplies o2 blood to the |
Walls of the thorax (intercostal spaces) |
|
Abdominal aorta supplies o2 blood to the |
Abdominal organs, pelvis and pelvic organs, lower limbs |
|
Vertebral arteries ascend the neck through |
Transverse foramina in the cervical vertebrae then enter the cranium through the foramen magnum |
|
Arterial circle of Willis supplies blood to the external |
Brain |
|
External jugular veins drain into |
Subclavian veins |
|
Subclavian and internal jugular veins form the |
Brachiochephalic veins |
|
4 main named regions of the colon |
Right colon, middle colon, left colon, sigmoid colon |
|
R and L internal iliac arteries supply blood to |
Pelvis and gluteal regions |
|
R and L external iliac arteries supply blood to |
Lower limbs |
|
L gonadal vein drains into |
L renal vein |
|
R gonadal vein drains into the |
Inferior vena cava |
|
The meati do what to air as it heads towards the lungs |
Warm, moisten and clean |
|
Circoid cartilage |
Only ring shaped cartilage of the larynx |
|
Vocal ligaments attach to this cartilage |
Arytenoid cartilage |
|
Glottis some |
Superior opening to the larynx |
|
Some structure in the mediastinum include |
Heart, coronary vessels, esophagus, phrenic nerves, vague nerves, thymus, thoracic (lymphatic duct) and lymph nodes |
|
Which lung is larger |
The right lung is larger than the left lung bc of the location of the heart |
|
Inhalation is |
Active (requires muscles) |
|
Normal exhalation is |
Passive (no muscles required) |
|
Forceful exhalation is |
Active, required innervation and contraction of the internal intercostal muscles to increase thoracic cavity pressure |
