  • Front
  • Back
left brachicephalic
from in root of neck from internal jugular vein and subclavian vein

posterior to posterior end of clavicle

has to get past the midline
right brachiocephalic vein
from in root of neck from internal jugular vein and subclavian vein

posterior to posterior end of clavicle
superior vena cavae
formed by two brachiocephalic veins

posterior to costal cartilage of first rib...goe sto superior aspect of right atrium.

enters posterior to costal cartilage of right 3rd rib
inferior vena cavae
travels through caval foramen
azygous vein
unites with posterior side of SVC
thoracic aorta
divided into:

ascedning aorta

aortic arch

descending thoracic aorta
aortic arch path
ascends and moves to the right. the arch then moves posteriorly and to the left

crosses the sternal angle - marks where arch turns to thoracic aorta

limited to superior mediastinum
branches of arch of aorta
ascending aorta

L common carotid artery

L subclavian artery
branches of ascending arch
L and R coronary arteries
brachiochephalic
divides to R common carotid and right subclavian artery

supplies blood to R side of head, neck, upper limb
L common carotid artery
left side of head and neck
left subclavian artery
left upper limb...to axillary artery
descending thoracic aorta
turns to abdominal aorta posterior to diaphragm
descending thoracic aorta
posterior intercostal artery branches...bulk of supply to intercostal space!

esophageal branches

usually bronchial arteries

supply to fibrous pericardium
pulmonary trunk
divides to L and R pulmonary arteries to respective lungs.

begins at apex of R ventricle.
cardiovascular shadow/silhouette
can see L margin of pulmonary trunk in xray
ligamentum arteriosum
b/w root of L pulmonary artery and arch of aorta
ductus arteriosus
in fetus, it shuts blood from pulmonary trunk into the underside of arch of aorta. to bypass lungs.
posterior side of heart
formed by pulmonary veins. L, R, each of which have superior and inferior sections
pericardium
has two pericardia: fibrous and serous
serous pericardium
parietal layer (behind fibrous pericardium), visceral layer (on heart)...and pericardial cavity
fibrous pericardium
outer layer that covers the heart

continuous of adventitial layer of great vessels

fuses with central tendon and tethers to sternum
pericardium in CT
fibrous
parietal
visceral
epicardium
all above myocardium
anatomical orientation of long axis of heart
apex points to left
anteriorly
inferiorly
L and R of heart
don't reflect anatomical position
external surfaces of heart
sternocostal - faces sternum and costal cartilates

apex

diaphragmatic

posterior
sternocostal surface of heart
faces sternum and costal cartilages

RA, RV, LV
apex
lower left extreme...

some apex

some LA via left auricle

can see in xray
inferior border
prominent edge of transition b/w sternocostal and diaphragmatic surfaces of RV.

can't see in PA/AP films
heart valves
prevent retrograde flow. at entrances to, or exits from...ventricles
AV valves
tricuspid (3) and mitral (2) valves

papillary muscles and chordae tendineae hold the valve at its cusp
