Cardiovascular Anatomy Review

Flashcards covering key concepts from a Cardiovascular Practice Questions Review Session.

Intercalated disc

Structure that allows the impulse of contraction to pass from one myocyte to another.

Anterior interventricular artery

Artery occluded if infarction occurs in the Right & Left Ventricles and Interventricular septum.

Fossa ovalis

Structure located in the Interatrial Septum.

Mitral valve

Synonym for the Left Atrioventricular valve.

Visceral pericardium and Parietal pericardium

The space where Cardiac Tamponade occurs.

To carry the impulse of contraction to the Papillary muscles

NOT a function of the Chordae Tendinae.

It is composed of Cardiac Muscle which supports the Trabeculae Carnae

FALSE statement regarding the Moderator Band.

Coronary Sinus

Completes the sequence: Great Cardiac Vein >> [STRUCTURE] >> Right Atrium.

Septal Papillary Muscle

Structure NOT associated with the Right Atrium.

Circumflex artery

Other artery formed when the Left Coronary artery bifurcates.

The Umbilical Artery carries oxygenated blood from Placenta to the Heart

FALSE statement regarding Fetal Circulation.

This nerve contains Sympathetic Fibers

FALSE statement regarding the nerve innervating both the SA and AV Node.

Interventricular septum

Structure identified with a defect in the figure.

C

Letter providing arterial supply to the hamstring muscles in the diagram.

Tunica Intima

Layer in the artery the same as the Endocardium of the Heart.

Ovary

Structure that DOES NOT receive blood supply from a branch of the Internal Iliac Artery.

Popliteal a.

Structure completing the sequence: Femoral a. >> [STRUCTURE] >> Anterior & Posterior Tibial aa.

Inferior Gluteal artery

Completes the sequence: Internal iliac artery >> [STRUCTURE] >> Gluteus Maximus Muscle.

First rib

Dividing line between the Subclavian artery and the Axillary Artery.

Anterior cerebral and Middle cerebral arteries

Arteries formed by branching of the Internal Carotid Artery.

Deep Brachial artery

Arterial supply to the muscle in the arm innervated by the radial nerve.

Posterior Tibial artery

Artery that might be damaged by a knife wound to the posterior leg.

Azygos vein

Vein that carries blood and drains directly into the Superior Vena Cava.

Median Cubital

Vein allowing blood to flow from Cephalic to Basilic.

Anterior tibial artery

Artery occluded if a patient is unable to extend the foot.

Stomach

Organ that is Portal and does NOT drain into a Vena Cava.

Sigmoid Sinus

Structure that passes through the Jugular Foramen to become the Internal Jugular Vein.

Brachiocephalic vein

Vein the Pacemaker travels through from the Subclavian vein to reach the Superior Vena Cava.

Purkinje Fibers

Complete the sequence: AV Node >> Bundle Branches >> ? >> Ventricular Myocardium.

Brachiocephalic Trunk

Artery from which the Right Common Carotid Artery branches.
