New cards

what are the two grooves of the heart

  • atrioventricular groove (coronary sulcus)

  • interventricular groove

2
New cards

what two arteries arise from the ascending aorta just distal to the aortic valve

  • R coronary artery (RCA)

  • L coronary artery (LCA)

3
New cards

is the LCA or RCA SHORTER

the LCA is shorter

4
New cards

the RCA and LCA travel in which groove

atrioventricular groove (coronary sulcus)

5
New cards

which artery is the proximal branch of the RCA and travels to the SVC deep to the right auricle

sinoatrial nodal artery

6
New cards

which artery travels towards the apex of the heart

right marginal artery

7
New cards

on the posterior aspect of the heart, where is the RCA

still in the AV groove

8
New cards

which artery is located in the IV groove and anastomoses with the anterior interventricular artery

posterior interventricular artery

9
New cards

why is the LCA so short

it bifurcates early, near the pulmonary trunk

10
New cards

the LCA bifurcates into

  • circumflex branch of the LCA

  • anterior interventricular artery

11
New cards

in which groove does the circumflex branch of the LCA travel

AV groove

12
New cards

in which groove does the anterior interventricular artery travel and what does it anastomose with

IV groove, posterior interventricular artery

13
New cards

which artery is a branch of the circumflex branch of the LCA

left marginal artery

14
New cards

the circumflex branch of the LCA travels with _____ ______ in AV groove on posterior aspect of heart

coronary sinus

15
New cards

the coronary sinus is located within the ___ groove on the _____ aspect of the heart and received venous blood from

AV, posterior, most veins of the heart

16
New cards

which vein is the main tributary of the coronary sinus and conveys venous blood to the left side of the coronary sinus

great cardiac vein

17
New cards

which vein travels with the posterior IV artery

middle cardiac vein

18
New cards

which vein travels with the RCA and right marginal artery

small cardiac vein

19
New cards

travel buddies of the heart (5)

  • coronary sinus + circumflex branch of LCA

  • middle cardiac vein + posterior IV artery

  • small cardiac vein + RCA on posterior

  • small cardiac vein + right marginal artery on anterior

  • great cardiac vein + anterior IV artery
