CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

• Heart Anatomy

2
General

• Closed System
• Blood Remains in Blood Vessels Heart
• Double System
• Four Chambers (Separation of Oxygenated
  Deoxygenated Blood)
• Heart is Double Organ
• Pulmonary Circuit (Heart? Lungs ? Heart)
• Systemic Circuit (Heart ?Body Tissues ? Heart)

Heart Surface Anatomy

• Sulci
• Grooves, Indicate Boundaries of Chambers
• Coronary Sulcus (Between Atria Ventricles)
• Interventricular Sulci (Between Ventricles)
• Apex (Inferior, Pointed Tip)

Heart - Chambers

• Atria (2)
• Superior Receiving Chambers (From Veins)
• Auricles (ear-like flaps)
• Right Atrium
• O2 Poor Blood From Venae Cavae Coronary Sinus
  (Systemic Circ.)
• Left Atrium
• O2 Rich Blood From Pulmonary Veins of Lungs

Heart Chambers continued

• Ventricles (2)
• Inferior Pumping Chambers (to Arteries)
• Receive from Atria
• Right Ventricle
• O2 Poor Blood from Rt Atrium to Pulmonary
  Arteries (Pulmonary Circ.)
• Left Ventricle
• O2 Rich Blood from Left Atrium to Aorta (Systemic
  Circ.)

17
Heart - Septa

• Internal Walls
• Separate Chambers
• 2 Septa
• Interatrial Septum
• (Between the Atria)
• Interventricular Septum
• (Between the Ventricles)

18
Heart - Valves

• One-Way, Direct Blood Flow
• Passive blood pushes them open closed
• 2 Pairs
• Atrioventricular (Cuspid) Valves
• Between Atria Ventricles
• Tricuspid (Right)
• Bicuspid (Left)

Atrioventricular Valves cont.

• AV Valves are anchored to structures in the
  ventricles
• Chordae Tendineae
• Strong, Fibrous Strings
• Prevent Cusp Eversion
• Papillary Muscle
• Conical Extensions of Myocardium in Ventricles
• Contract pull on chordae tendineae

21
AV (MITRAL) VALVES
OPEN
CLOSED
22
Heart - Valves

• Semilunar Valves
• Between Ventricles Arteries
• Prevent blood from back flow into ventricles
• Pulmonary Semilunar Valve (Right)
• Aortic Semilunar Valve (Left)

SEMILUNAR VALVES
OPEN
CLOSED
25
Heart - Wall

• 3 Layers
• Endocardium (Inner)
• Endothelium
• Lines Chambers, Valves, Septa, Blood Vessels
• Myocardium (Middle)
• Thickest Layer (Esp. in Left Ventricle!)
• Cardiac Muscle Tissue
• Inherent Rhythmicity

Heart Wall continued

• Epicardium (Outer)
• Visceral Pericardium
• Serous Membrane
• Thin, Fibrous, Transparent

29
Heart Pericardial Sac

• Encloses Heart Bases of Great Vessels
• Composed of
• Parietal Pericardium/Serous Pericardium
• Inner Serous Coat
• Secretes Lubricating Pericardial Fluid into
• Pericardial Cavity (Space Between Serous Layers)

30
Heart Pericardial Sac continued

• Fibrous Pericardium
• Outer, fibrous coat
• Tough, Protective
• Reinforces serous coat
