Term
Pericardium
Definition
Double-walled sac around the heart that protects and anchors heart and reduces friction during contraction. It has 3 layters
Term
Fibrous Pericardium
Definition
Most superficial, touch CT; protects and anchors.
Term
Parietal Pericardium
Definition
Serous layer that lines the internal surface of the fibrous pericardium
Term
Pericardial Cavity
Definition
Fluid=filled chamber separating serous layers
Term
Epicardium
Definition
Serous layer that covers the surface of the heart; same as visceral serous
Term
Myocardium
Definition
Cardiac muscle mid layer with CT network for support; forms bulk of heart wall
Term
Endocardium
Definition
Inner layer lining chambers and valves; endothelial over thin CT
Term
Atria/Atrium
Definition
Heart chamber, there are two; where blood enters the haert; right more anterior to left
Term
Auricles
Definition
Ear shaped protusions on tria that expand when blood fills atria
Term
Ventricle
Definition
Heart chambers, there are two; How blood leaves haert
Term
Interventricular Septum
Definition
Ventricle Divider
Term
Trabeculae Carnae
Definition
Part of the ventricles; irregular ridges of muscle on internal surface of ventricle walls
Term
Papillary Muscles
Definition
Part of the ventricles; cone shaped muscles that project from ventricle walls
Term
Chordate Tendonae
Definition
(Heart Strings) Thin strong bands from atrioventricular valves to papillary muscles
Term
Superior Vena Cava
Definition
Vein that drains body above the diaphragm
Term
Inferior Vena Cava
Definition
Vein drains body below diaphragm
Term
Coronary Sinus
Definition
Space that drains blood from the cardiac veins of the heart itself
Term
Pulmonary Trunk/arteries
Definition
Great vessel that leaves the right ventricle and divides into right and left pulmonary arteries carrying deoxygenated blood to lungs
Term
Pulmonary Veins
Definition
Carry oxygenated blood from lungs to left atria of heart. Only veins to carry oxygenated blood
Term
Aorta
Definition
Great arching vessel leaves left ventricle, curls over heart, and carries blood to aortic branches
Term
Atrioventricular Valves
Definition
Closeable flaps between atria and ventricles that prevent backflow into atria. Chordae Tendonae anchor AV valves to the walls and stop them from blowing back
Term
Tricuspid valve
Definition
Betweenn right atrium and right ventricle
Term
Mitral Valve
Definition
Bicuspid; between left atrium and left ventricle
Term
Pulmonary Semilunar Valve
Definition
Between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
Term
Aortic Semilunar Valve
Definition
Between left ventricle and aorta
Term
Pulmonary Circuit
Definition
Vessels carrying blood to and from lungs
Term
Systematic Circuit
Definition
Vessels carrying blood to and from the body
