location of the pectinate muscles
|
left and right auricles and the anterior wall of the right atrium
|
|
function of the pectinate muscles
|
increases force of the atrial contraction without increasing heart mass
|
|
What is trabeculae carnea
|
they prevent bubble formation that may occur when blood flows rapidly and trubulenity inside the ventricles
|
|
where are trabeculae carnea located
|
raised muscles bundles in both ventricles except the conus arteriosus
|
|
what is the conus arteriosus
|
the smooth, conical area immediately below the pulmonary valvein the right ventrical
|
|
The endocardium is also know as the
|
endothelium
|
|
The endocardium is continuous with what
|
the great vessels
|
|
superficial ventricular muscle bundles wrap around what
|
both ventricles
|
|
deeper ventricular muscle bundles doo what
|
spiral around each ventricle individually
|
|
What are papillary muscles
|
coned shaped trabeculae carnea in the ventricles
|
|
What are chordae tendoneae
|
tendon like cords attached to the papillary muscles proximally and to the AV valve cusps distally
|
|
function of the chordae tendoneae
|
they prevent valve eversion (prolapse) into the atria and regurgitation of blood into the atria during ventricular contraction
|
|
an electrical conduction shortcut from the right bundle branch to the more laterally located papillary muscles within the right ventricle
|
moderator band in the right ventricle
|
|
What shape is the right ventricular chamber
|
crescent shaped in transverse section and contracts like bellows
|
|
what shape is the left ventricular chamber
|
conical shap and it decreases the base apex distance and ventricular chamber diameter
|
|
dense connective tissue rings surrounding the four valves that fuses the valves together and merges with the inter ventricular septum
|
fibrous skeleton
|
|
provides a foundation for heart valve structure
|
fibrous skeleton
|
|
each heart valve has a skingle fibrous ring know as what
|
annulus
|
|
this item acts as an insertion point for cardiac muscle
|
fibrous skeleton
|
|
prevents overstreching of the valves as blood flows through them
|
fibrous skeleton
|
|
acts as an electrical insulator preventing direct spread of the action potential from atria to ventricles
|
fibrous skeleton
|
|
a series of grooves on the heart surface that contain coronary blood vessels and variable amounts of fat
|
sulci
|
|
where is the coronary sulcus located
|
between the atria and the ventricles
|
|
where is the anterior/posterior inter ventricular sulci
|
between the right and left ventricles on the anterior and posterior sides of the heart
|
|
What makes up the cardiac cycle
|
the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next, includes one systole and one diastole
|
|
a period of myocardial contraction involving both the atria and ventricles
|
systole
|
|
systemic arterial blood pressure is at its high during what
|
systole
|
|
a period of myocardial relaxation during which the heart fills with blood
|
diastole
|
|
systemic arterial blood pressure is at its lowest
|
diastole
|
|
smooth muscle in the vessel walls primarily the what have a slightly different receptor arrangement for epinephrine and norepinephrine than the systemic circulation
|
arteries
|
