IVC/SVC
|
Big veins that return deoxygenated blood back to the heart
|
|
IVC drains...
|
trunk and lower extremities
|
|
SVC drains...
|
head, neck and upper extremities
|
|
RA=
|
Right Atrium
|
|
RA is located:
|
right and anterior to the LA
|
|
Three regions of the RA:
|
1-Posterier venous component
2-Anterior Region 3-Atrial Ridge |
|
Posterier Venous Component
|
Includes SVC, Coronary Sinus, and IVC. CS dumps directly into the RA.
|
|
Atrial Ridge:
|
Includes the Chiari Network and Eustachian Valve which are fetal reminants.
|
|
Anterior Region:
|
Oval vestibule leading to tricuspid valve. AV node is housed here (Triangle of Kotch=where AV Node and Atrial pathway come together)
|
|
The RA receives blood from...
|
The Coronary Sinus
|
|
RAA is?
|
Right Atrial Appendage, has pectinate muscles
|
|
Coronary Sinus is located
|
Between the IVC and Tricuspid Valve
|
|
IAS=
|
Interatrial Septum
|
|
IAS Forms:
|
On dorsal wall of the RA and the LA lies posterior
|
|
3 segments of the IAS:
|
1-Fossa Ovalis (thinnest)
2-Septum Primum 3-Septum Secundum |
|
The atrias are divided by the:
|
IAS
|
|
TV=
|
Tricuspid Valve
|
|
The Tricuspid Valve is a:
|
AV Valve
|
|
The Tricuspid Valve is located:
|
Between the RA and RV
|
|
How many cusps does the Tricuspid Valve have?
|
3
|
|
What are the Tricuspid Valve cusps made of?
|
Fibrous tissue
|
|
TV Apparatus consists of:
|
Annulus
3 leaflets chordae Papillary Muscles |
|
Tricuspid Annulus is the:
|
-largest valvular orifice
-made of endothelial tissue |
|
Tricuspid Leaflets:
|
3 of them
-names based on physical location 1-Anterior Leaflet (smallest, close to ant. wall) 2-Medial or septal leaflet( next to ivs) 3-Inferior or posterior leaflet |
|
Tricuspid Valve Chordae:
|
Same criteria as MV:
thin, fibrous strong strands. Attached to the papillary muscles. -Helps to facilitate normal closing, so blood doesnt leak. |
|
Right Side Papillary Muscles:
2 Major |
Anterior Papillary Muscle (supplies chordae to anterior leaflet)
Posterior (smaller) Septal Leaflet (not major) |
|
IVS=
|
Interventricular Septum
|
|
What does the IVS do?
|
Divides the RV and LV
|
|
2 areas of IVS:
|
1-Muscular Region- Inferior (think, largest)
2-Membranous area- Superior (thins out) |
|
RV=
|
Right Ventricle
|
|
Details about RV:
|
Most anterior chamber
crescent/pyramid shape lies directly beneath sternum |
|
RV is important bc of :
|
Pulmonary Circulation
|
|
3 Regions of the RV:
|
1-Inlet( gaurded by TV)
2-Muscular Outlet (Guarded by PV, more trabeculead, right ventricle outflow) 3-Apical (Moderator Band) |
|
RV is different from LV due to:
|
Shape: Crescent
Walls: thin, 4-5 mm -Pumps blood to lower respitory system -Apex- Heavy trabeculae and moderator band |
|
Pulmonic Valve (PV)
(Aortic Valve counter part) |
-A semilunar valve
|
|
Pulmonic Valve is positioned in:
|
RVOT
|
|
3 cusps of Pulmonic Valve
|
1-Anterior
2-Left (Posterior) 3-Right |
|
Lcoation of Pulmonic Valve (PV)
|
Sits highest and furthest to the back (SUperior and posterior)
|
|
Job of Main Pulmonary Artery:
|
Carries deoxyginated blood to lungs
|
|
Where does the Main Pulmonary Artery begin?
|
Just above the pulmonic valve
|
|
Location of Main Pulmonary Artery
|
Courses superior and leftward
lies near medial aorta |
|
Does the Main Pulmonary Artery bifurcate?
|
Yes, into Right and Left PA
|
|
What are the 2 major Coronary Arteries?
|
Left Main(Bifurcates)
Right Coronary Artery |
|
Coronary veins are responsible for what percentage of return via coronary sinus?
|
60%
|
|
4 Coronary Veins:
|
1-Great
2-Middle 3-Small 4-Posterior |
|
40% of Coronary Veins are:
|
Thesbian Veins which goes into RA)
|
|
Conduction System includes:
|
Myocites
SA Node Av Node Bundle of His (LBB, RBB) Purkinje Fibers |
