Circumflex artery

20
Q

What are the anastomoses of the coronary arteries?

A

Anterior and posterior descending
Circumflex and right coronary artery

21
Q

What are the 2 major sulci that contain the branches of coronary arteries?

A

Atrioventricular sulcus
Interventricular sulcus

22
Q

Where does right coronary artery supply?

A

Supplies the right atrium and right ventricle

23
Q

Where does the right marginal artery supply?

A

Right ventricle and apex

24
Q

Where does left marginal artery supply?

A

Left ventricle

25
Q

Where does the left anterior descending artery supply?

A

Right ventricle, left ventricle and interventricular septum

26
Q

Where does right marginal artery supply?

A

Left atrium and left ventricle

27
Q

What are the main veins of the heart wall?

A

Great cardiac vein
Middle cardiac vein
Small cardiac vein
All drain to coronary sinus which lies beside circumflex artery

28
Q

Where does the coronary sinus drain to?

A

Right atrium
Anterior cardiac veins drain directly into RA

29
Q

What are the nerves to the heart?

A

Phrenic nerve
Vegus nerve
Sympathetic nerve

30
Q

What is the intrinsic and extrinsic innervation of the heart?

A

Intrinsic - purkinje cells in SA node
Extrinsic - external autonomic nerves

31
Q

What does the phrenic nerve innervate?

A

Innervates the fibrous pericardium and parietal layer of serous pericardium
Carries pain sensation

32
Q

What does the vegus nerve innervate?

A

Is parasympathetic
Innervates the heart myocardium and visceral layer of serous pericardium

33
Q

Where do sympathetic nerves innervate?

A

T1-4
Innervate myocardium and visceral layer of serous myocardium - referred pain to inner surface of upper arm

34
Q

What can be seen of the heart on a normal CXR?

A

Aortic arch
RA, RV and LV - apex of the heart

35
Q

How are chambers positioned on transverse plane?

A

RV most anterior
LA most posterior
RA on most right and LV on most left

36
Q

What are the main features of the right atrium?

A

Openings for IVC, SVC and coronary sinus
Interatrial septum
Fossa ovalis in interatrial septum
Musculi pectinate
Tricuspid valve

37
Q

What are the main features of the right ventricle/

A

3 papillary muscles with chordae tendineae for the tricuspid valve
Trabeculae carneae, modulator band, opening for pulmonary trunk
Intrerventricular septum

38
Q

What is the function of the trabeculae carneae?

A

Prevent suction that would occur with a flat surface and thus impair the hearts ability to pump efficiently

39
Q

What are the main features of the left atrium?

A

Openings for pulmonary veins and Mitral (bicuspid) valve
Smooth walled, small chamber
Posterior superior against oesophagus
Forms the posterior surface of the heart

40
Q

What are the main features of the left ventricle?

A

2 papillary muscles and chordae tendineae
Trabeculae carneae
Opening for the aorta, interventricular septum
Walls x3 thicker than left
Forms the apex of the heart

41
Q

What is the intrinsic innervation of the heart?

A

Signals arise in SA node which stimulate atrium to contract and travels to AV node
After delay, then conducted to bundle of His and left and right bundles of branches to endocardium then ventricles then epicardium

42
Q

What is the extrinsic innervation of the heat?

A

Vagus and sympathetic nerves T1-4 via cardiac plexuses

43
Q

Where is the point of auscultation for mitral valve?

A

5th intercostal space, midclavicular line - apex beat

44
Q

Where is the point of auscultation for the tricuspid valve?

A

4th left intercostal space on lower left of sternum

45
Q

Where is the point of auscultation for the pulmonary valve?

A

2nd left intercostal space on left of upper sternum

46
Q

Where is the point of auscultation for the aortic valve?

A

2nd right intercostal space on the right of upper sternum
