Presentation Transcript

  1. Cardiovascular SystemAnatomy of the Heart

  2. The Cardiovascular system is comprised of the heart, blood vessels, & blood The heart acts as a “pump”, creating pressure which causes blood to move through the blood vessels of the body, allowing O2 & nutrients to be distributed to, & wastes removed from, body tissues

  3. Heart Anatomy Overview Play Heart Anatomy video

  4. Anatomical Features of the Heart • The heart lies within the mediastinum of the thoracic cavity • Hollow muscular organ with four internal chambers • (2) atria (lt. atrium & rt. atrium)- receive blood from veins • (2) ventricles (lt. ventricle & rt. ventricle)- pump blood into arteries • Superior aspect of heart is the “base”, where the blood vessels attach; Inferior is the “apex”, which rests on the relaxed diaphragm

  5. Pericardium • The heart lies enclosed within pericardial membranes • Fibrous pericardium (pericardial sac) – outer layer of dense CT that protects & anchors • Serous pericardium – double layered membrane with “pericardial fluid” between • Parietal pericardium – lines the pericardial sac • Visceral pericardium – covers the heart; also known as the “epicardium” etal cardium

  6. Epicardium (a.k.a. visceral pericardium) • Myocardium • Endocardium Layers of Heart Wall

  7. External Features • Auricles • Coronary sulcus – contains the coronary sinus (vein) • Anterior interventricular sulcus – contains coronary vessels (artery & vein) • Posterior interventricular sulcus – contains coronary vessels (artery & vein)

  8. SVC Interatrial septum Lt Atrium Rt Atrium Pectinate muscles Bicuspid (mitral) valve Coronary sinus (opening) Chordae tendineae Tricuspid valve Papillary muscle Chordae tendineae Papillary muscle IVC Pulmonary veins Deoxygenated blood Oxygenated blood

  9. Atrioventricular (AV) valves • Tricuspid • Bicuspid

  10. Lt. common carotid artery artery Brachiocephalic trunk Lt. subclavian artery Aorta Ligamentum arteriosum Pulmonary arteries Pulmonary trunk Pulmonary semilunar valve Aortic semilunar valve Trabeculae carneae Lt ventricle Rt ventricle Interventricular septum

  11. Anatomy

  12. Myocardium receives oxygenated blood from the left & right Coronary arteries – branches off the ascending aorta • Deoxygenated blood is drained through Cardiac veins, which all eventually merge into the coronary sinus Coronary Circulation Fig. 12.7
