What are some landmarks to take note of in regards to the heart? Answer -
"the heart is an upside down triangle"
apex of the heart is at the "bottom" of the heart
base of the heart is at the "top"
Great vessels and the right and left borders (always refers to the pt's right and
left)
What is the pericardium? Answer - double-walled sac that encloses the heart
What are the great vessels? Answer - - Superior and Inferior vena cava - drain
blood into the R. atria
- Aorta - ejects/sends/delivers blood to the body from the l. ventricle via the
pulmonary vein passed the aortic valve
- Pulmonary Arteries and Veins - PA sends blood to the lungs to be oxygenated
via the pulmonic valve, PV - takes oxygenated blood to the L. atria
What is the pulmonary artery and how is it different from the pulmonary vein?
Answer - PA carries *deoxygenated* blood from the RV via the pulmonic valve
to the lungs whereas the PV takes *oxygenated* blood to the LA and then the
blood in the LA passes through mitral valve and moves to the LV to the aorta
via the aortic valve
, What is the atrium? ventricle? Answer - Atrium and Ventricles (the right AND
left sides) make up the 4 chambers of the heart. The RA recieves blood from
the body via the IVC and SVC, The LA recieves blood from the lungs via the
pulmonary vein, The LV receives blood from the LA via the mitral valve
(atrioventricular valve), RV receives blood from the RA via the tricuspid valve
(atrioventricular valve)
Atrium = blood reservoir
Ventricle = muscular pump
What are the AV valves? Answer - tricuspid and mitral = "ATM" = valves
between the atria and ventricles, contribute to the S1 first heart sound (lub)
when they close, the AV valves close becasue the the ventriculars are
contracting
What is diastole? systole? Answer - Diastole + systole = cardiac cycle
*Diastole* = relaxation of the ventricles, ventricular filling, takes longer than
systole, second heart sound, S2 = semilunar valve closure, aortic and pulmonic
(SAP) = closed, "dub" = base= loudest point
*Systole* = ventricular/heart contraction = arterial filling, tricuspid and mitral
valves (ATM) is closed, loudest at apex, S1 = AV valve closure
What are the semilunar valves? Answer - Aortic and Pulmonic valves = "SAP" =
valves between the ventricles and arteries , contribute to S2 heart sound (dub)
when they close
What is the direction or pathway of blood flow through the heart? Answer - -
head and upper extremities drain blood into the R.atria via the SVC and the
liver drains blood into the R. atria via the IVC
- blood from the R.atria goes to the R.Ventricle via the tricuspid valve
