What are the 4 covering of heart
Pericardium
Parietal pericardium:
Visceral pericardium:
Pericardial cavity:
double-layered sac that anchors and protects heart
Parietal Pericardium
membrane on heart’s surface
Visceral pericardium
space around heart
Pericardial cavity
3 heart layers
Myocardium
Epicardium
Endocardium
surface of heart (outside)
Epicardium
thick, middle layer composed of cardiac muscle
Myocardium
smooth, inner surface
Endocardium
•4 Chambers of heart
left atrium (LA)
right atrium (RA)
left ventricle (LV)
right ventricle (RV)
separates atria from ventricles
Coronary surcus
Upper portion; Holding chambers
• Small, thin walled, contract minimally to push blood into ventricles
Atria
Seprate left and right atria
Interatrial septum:
Lower portion; Pumping chambers
• Thick, strong walled, contract forcefully to propel blood out of heart
Ventricles
Separate left and right ventricles
Interventricular septum:
structures that ensure 1-way blood flow
Valves
between atria and ventricles
Atrioventricular valves (AV):
AV valve between RA and RV; 3 cusps
Tricuspid valve:
AV valve between LA and LV; 2 cusps
Bicuspid valve (mitral):
What are the two valves in Atrioventricular valves
Tricuspid and Bicuspid
base of pulmonary trunk
Pulmonary
base of aorta
Aortic
attached to AV valve flaps ; support valves
Chordae tendinee:
What happens when Bicuspid Valve is Open?
Blood flows from LA into LV.
Aortic semilunar valve is closed.
• Tension on chordae tendineae is low.
