3The Heart Anatomy
Approximately the size of your fist
Location Superior surface Left of the mid
line Anterior to the vertebral column, poster
ior to the sternum
4The Heart Anatomy
5Coverings of the Heart Pericardium
a double-walled sac around the heart
composed of A superficial fibrous pericardium
A deep two-layer serous pericardium The
lines the internal surface of the fibrous
pericardium The or epicardium lines the sur
face of the heart They are separated by the flu
id-filled pericardial cavity
6Pericardial Layers of the Heart
7Heart Wall
visceral layer of the serous pericardium
cardiac muscle layer forming the bulk of th
e heart Fibrous skeleton of the heart crisscr
ossing, interlacing layer of connective tissue
endothelial layer of the inner myocardial s
urface
8External Heart Major Vessels of the Heart
(Anterior View
Vessels to the heart include
Superior and inferior venae cavae Right and
left pulmonary veins Vessels away from the
heart include Pulmonary trunk, which splits i
nto right and left pulmonary arteries
Ascending aorta (three branches) brachioceph
alic, left common carotid, and subclavian
arteries

11Atria of the Heart
Atria are the chambers of the heart
Each atrium has a protruding Pectinate muscle
s mark Blood enters right atria from superior
and inferior venae cavae and coronary sinus
Blood enters left atria from pulmonary veins
12Ventricles of the Heart
Ventricles are the chambers of the heart
muscles mark ventricular walls Right vent
ricle pumps blood into the pulmonary trunk
Left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta
13Gross Anatomy of the Heart
14Pathway of Blood through the Heart and Lungs
Right atrium ? tricuspid valve ? right ventricle
Right ventricle ? pulmonary semilunar valve ? pu
lmonary arteries ? lungs Lungs ? pulmonary vein
s ? left atrium Left atrium ? bicuspid valve ?
left ventricle Left ventricle ? aortic semiluna
r valve ? aorta Aorta ? systemic circulation
15Pathway of Blood through the Heart and Lungs
16Coronary Circulation
Coronary circulation is the supply to the
heart muscle itself Collateral routes ensure bl
ood delivery to heart even if major vessels are
occluded
17Heart Valves
Heart valves ensure blood flow through the
heart Atrioventricular (AV) valves lie between
the atria and the ventricles AV valves prevent
backflow into the atria when ventricles contract
Chordae tendineae anchor AV valves to papillary
muscles valve lies between the left ventricle
and the aorta valve lies between the right
ventricle and pulmonary trunk Semilunar valves
prevent backflow of blood into the ventricles

19Heart Valves
20Atrioventricular Valve Function
21Semilunar Valve Function
22Heart Sounds
Heart sounds (lub-dup) are associated with
closing of heart valves First sound occurs as A
V valves close and signifies beginning of
systole Second sound occurs when SL valves clos
e at the beginning of ventricular diastole
23Cardiac Cycle
Isovolumetric relaxation early diastole
Ventricles relax Backflow of blood in aorta
and pulmonary trunk closes semilunar valves
Dicrotic notch brief rise in aortic pressure c
aused by backflow of blood rebounding off
semilunar valves
24Other features of the heart
The a specialized bundle of neurons in
the upper corner of the right atrium. They act
as the hearts natural pacemaker. Impulses genera
ted in the SA node cause an electrical cascade
resulting in the beating of the heart
