Parietal: outer layer that attaches to chest wall Visceral: cannot detach from lung Pleural cavity between P & V w/ serous fluid for lubrication during respiration
32
Describe the pleural recesses
Costomediastinal recess: between costal and mediastinal pleura Costodiaphragmatic recess: between diaphragmatic and costal pleura
33
List the layers of the pericardium from superficial to deep
Fibrous paricardium Parietal paricardium Visceral paricardium
34
What are the remaining structures of fetal circulation?
Fossa ovalis Ligamentum arteriosum
35
Describe fossa ovalis
Fossa ovalis is located in the interatrial septum It shunted blood from the R to L atrium to avoid the lungs during fetal development
36
Describe ligamentum arteriosum
Attaches/Located between aorta and pulmonary artery Shunted blood away from the lungs during fetal development
37
What does RA LS stand for/ mean?
RA LS relates to the location of the Pulmonary Artery at the roots of the right and left lungs. On the Right lung, the Pulmonary artery can be found on the more Anterior aspect of the root. On the Left lung, the Pulmonary Artery can be found on the Superior aspect of the root. The root of the lung also includes the Pulmonary veins and the primary bronchi (depending on cut).
38
Identify what lung this is based off of the structures displayed on the medial aspect. Name the structures.
Left Lung : LS Purple is pulmonary a. White is primary bronchus Pink is pulmonary vv.
39
Identify what lung this is based off of the structures on its medial aspect. Name the structures.
Right Lung: RA Purple is pulmonary a. Pink is pulmonary vv. White is primary bronchus
40
Identify the view of the heart and name the missing structures.
Anterior view 1: Right auricle 2: Right ventricle 3: Cardiac apex 4: Anterior interventricular sulcus 5: Left auricle
41
Identify what view of the heart and name the missing surface features.
Anterior view 1: Right Atrium 2: Coronary Sulcus 3: Left ventricle 4: Reflected pericardium 5: Ligamentum arteriosum
42
Identify the view of the heart and name the missing surface features.
Posterior view 1: Left auricle 2: Left ventricle 3: Right atrium
43
Identify the view of the heart and name the missing surface features.
Posterior view 1: Left atrium 2: Coronary sulcus 3: reflected Pericardium
44
Explain cardiac referred pain and the anatomy behind it.
Cardiac referred pain is when the pain felt is not localized to the area of injury at the heart and instead felt in the skin of the L pectoral, shoulder, and medial UE, through connections through the somatic nervous system and visceral nervous system. Pain receptors in myocardium detect stimulus and relays through visceral afferent axons in sympathetic pathways —> cell bodies in dorsal root ganglions that are shared with general somatic axons in skin —> brain interpreting the stimulus from the skin rather than the visceral.
45
Explain the conduction system of the heart.
SA node in atrium AV node near R atrioventricular valve —> atrioventricular bundle which splits in Interventricular septum into L & R bundle branches that excite the L & R ventricles respectively The moderator band/ septomarginal trabeculae provide R bundle branch with rapid access to lateral wall of R. Ventricle for proper contraction timing

52
Identify the chambers of the heart and name the missing internal features.
Left Atrium & Ventricle 1: Left superior pulmonary v. 2: Left atrium 3: Left atrioventricular valve 4: Chordae tendineae 5: Anterior Papillary muscles
53
What are the sympathetic chain ganglia?
Series of interconnected ganglia located on either side of the vertebral column extending from the base of the skull to the coccyx
54
Describe the function of the sympathetic chain ganglia
responsible for the fight or flight response, including increased heart rate, dilating bronchi, and inhibiting digestive functions
55
Describe the two types of rami communicantes and their origins
White (lateral horns of T1-L2) Grey (C1-S5)
56
Describe the function of white rami communicantes
Function: carry preganglionic sympathetic axons to the sympathetic chain (ganglia), and abdominal ganglia, and sensory axons from the viscera to the spinal cord
57
Describe the function of gray rami communicantes
Function: carry postgang. symp. axons from the symp. chain to the spinal nerves for distribution through the dorsal and ventral rami, and sensory axons from the viscera to the spinal cord. These fibers then continue to innervate target organs, such as blood vessels, sweat glands, and piloerector muscles
58
Describe the relation of intercostal nerves to the rami communicantes?
White rami communicantes: intercostal nerves receive preganglionic symp. fibers from white rami comm. that then enter the sympathetic chain ganglia Grey rami communicantes: after synapsing in the sympathetic chain ganclia, postganglionic symp. fiers exit through gray rami comm. and join the intercostal nn. to reach their target tissues
