What is the pericardium?
|
double walled sac that covers heart and proximal great vessels (ascending aorta)
|
|
what are the 2 layers of the pericardium?
|
1. fibrous pericardium (outer layer)
2. serous pericardium (just deep to bibrous) and it has 2 layers - parietal layer and visceral layer |
|
what is pericarditis?
|
inflammation of the pericardium
|
|
what is pericardial effusion?
|
-fluid/blood/ infection of pericardial cavity
-congestive heart failure -heart cant pump enough blood to organs/body |
|
what is cardiac tamponade?
|
heart compression
|
|
Where is blood in the right atrium coming from?
|
It is venous blood from:
-SVC -IVC -coronary sinus |
|
What does the auricle do?
|
it increases capacity of atrium
|
|
what valve connects the right atrium and right ventricle?
|
tricuspid valve
|
|
what layers make up the wall of the heart?
|
1. epicardium - visceral layer of serous pericardium
2. myocardium (cardiac muscle) 3. endocardium (most inner layer) - endothelium and loose c.t. |
|
what is the heart skeleton?
|
Consists of plate of fibrous connective tissue between atria and ventricles
Fibrous rings around valves to support Serves as electrical insulation between atria and ventricles Provides site for muscle attachment |
|
what does the spiral arrangement of the ventricular muscles do?
|
allows ventricular contraction to squeeze the blood upward from the apex of the heart
|
|
what is the first heart sound?
|
lub
Atrioventricular valves close at beginning of ventricular systole |
|
what is the 2nd heart sound?
|
dub
closure of aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves at beginning of ventricular diastole |
|
what is the occasional 3rd heart sound?
|
murmur (swish)
caused by turbulent blood flow valve locations |
|
what does the phrenic n. innervate?
|
1. diaphragm (via c3,4,5 - keeps the diaphragm alive!)
2. pericardium |
|
What does the pericardiacophrenic a. and v. innervate?
|
Innervate pericardium via the internal thoracic a.
|
|
what 3 structures drain into the right atrium?
|
1. SVC
2. IVC 3. Coronary Sinus |
|
What drains into the SVC?
|
head, neck and upper limb
|
|
What drains into the IVC?
|
abdominal viscera and lower limb (cable system)
|
|
What drains into the coronary sinus?
|
cardiac muscle - carrying deoxygenated blood
|
|
What muscle separates the smooth and rough atrial muscle from each other in right atrium?
|
Sulcus terminalis (exterior)
crista terminalis (interior) |
|
What rough m. is in the r. atrium?
|
pectinate m.
|
|
What valve separates the r. atrium from the r. ventricle?
|
Tricuspid valve
|
|
What muscles make up the r. ventricle?
|
-papillary muscles
-chordae tendineae -trabeculae carnae |
|
Where is the moderator band located?
|
r. ventricle
|
|
Where does the blood move through and to after leaving the r. ventricle?
|
blood goes through the pulmonary semilunar valves to the pulmonary trunk to the pulmonary arteries (de 02) to the lungs
|
|
Where does blood go once it has received oxygen from the lungs?
|
blood goes from lungs to pulmonary veins (O2) to the left atrium
|
|
sinoartial (SA) node
|
primary pacemaker tissue
|
|
atrioventricular (AV) node
|
secondary pacemaker tissue
|
|
what is stenosis of the valves?
|
narrowing
|
|
what do the coronary arteries supply blood to?
|
coronary muscle
|
|
ischemic heart disease (thrombosis)
|
80% of all heart disease
|
|
Name other types of heart disease.
|
hypertensive heart disease
congenital heart disease valvular heart disease |
|
what do you treat ischemic heart disease with?
|
nitroglycerin
|
|
what is a myocardial infarction (MI)
|
necrosis due to local ischemia which is primarily caused by thrombi.
|
|
The complications of MI depend on:
|
location of MI and depth and size
-if occurs in distal end of artery it won't be as bad. |
|
Treatments of ischemic heart disease:
|
bypass surgery
coronary artery stent placement |
