What is the function of the heart?
Pump blood to lungs and body
Where is the location of the heart?
Mediastinum: middle of chest
2nd and 6th intercostal spaces
Apex: left and anterior
Base: superior and posterior
What is the fibrous pericardium?
Outside sac of dense connective tissue
What is the serous pericardium?
Two layers
Parietal: fibrous pericardium
Visceral: heart muscle
Layers of the heart? outer to inner
Epicardium: visceral serous pericardium
Myocardium: muscle
Endocardium: epithelium and connective tissue
Chambers of the Heart? Auricles, trabecula carnae, and papillary muscles
Atria: right and left
Receive blood
Thin walls
Auricles: increase atrial volume, located at the top of each ventricle
Ventricle: right and left
Pump blood
Thick walls
Trabecula carnae: improve blood flow and contraction
Papillary muscles: proper closure of both valves

Septums of the heart
Division of left and right sides
Interventricular
Interatrial

Fossa ovalis?
Hole during fetus that allowed blood to pass
Major Vessels: Veins - to heart
Brings blood back to the heart
Right atrium: superior and inferior vena cava
Left atrium: right and left pulmonary veins

Major Vessels: Arteries; to lungs vs body; 3 major branches
Carry blood away from the heart
To lungs: pulmonary trunk, right & left pulmonary artery
Comes from right ventricle
To body:
Aorta (from left ventricle)
Ascending
Arch
3 Major Branches
Brachiocephalic
Right common carotid (superior)
Right Subclavian (lateral)
Left common carotid
Left subclavian
Descending: thoracic and abdominal cavity

Heart valves? Atrioventricular valves; chordae tendinae (2)
Prevent blood flow back into atrias, and made of cusps of connective tissues
Chordae tendinae: strings attached
Papillary muscle: tug and release
Tricuspid: right
Biscuspid/Mitral: left
-When one is open, the other is closed
-Located posterior

Heart valves? Semilunar valves (2)
Pulmonary: prevent blood flow back into right ventricle
Aortic: prevent blood flow back into left ventricle
Tricuspid w/o chordae tendinae

Heart sounds? Systole, diastole, lubb, dubb, average resting heart rate
Systole: contracting ventricles
Diastole: resting/expanding
Lubb: av valves closing
Dubb: semilunar valves closing
Avg resting heart rate: 40-80bpm
Order of how blood is pumped through the heart: deoxygenated vs oxygenated
Starting w/ deoxygenated
Superior and inferior vena cava
Right atrium
Tricuspid valve
Right ventricle
Pulmonary valve
Pulmonary artery
Left and right lungs
[now oxygenated]
Left and right pulmonary veins
Left atrium
Bicuspid valve
Left ventricle
Aortic valve
Aorta
To rest of the body
