CIRULATION OVERVIEW Size of a Fist 250 – 350 grams Double Pump Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood Pulmonary circuit Systemic Circuit
LOCATION OF THE HEART Posterior tothe Sternum Within the Mediastinum Apex vs. Base
THE WALL OF THE HEART Epicardium = visceral Pericardium (serosa) Myocardium: muscle tissue + c.t. + blood vessels + nerves Endocardium: simple squamous epithelium + c.t. - continuouswith the intima of vessels
EPICARDIUM = visceral pericardium lamina visceralis pericardii serosi · covers the subepicardiac adipose tissue (surrounding the vessels) · flattens the sulci on the surface to prevent friction · reflections PARIETAL PERICARDIUM = fibrous + serous layers • Pericardium fibrosum - collagen + elastic fibrous net , connects to mediastinal pleura,sternopericardiacligg. and the respiratory system • · Pericardium serosum - simple squamous epith, 2 laminae, between them lies the pericardiac cavity (serous surface - frictionless gliding, sliding) • · Lamina visceralis (pericardii serosi) = Epicardium • · Lamina parietalis - lining of the Pericardium fibrosum
MYOCARDIUM Striated, aerobic, interwoven, autorrhythmic Intercalated discs - gap junctions, strong desmosomes Functional syncytium (UNIT = CELL) May undergo hypertrophy Myocardiac infarct - more frequent LEFT SIDE toxicnecrosis - more frequent RIGHT SIDE

BLOOD FLOW PATTERN THROUGH THE HEART • RIGHTATRIUM via the superior and inferior venae cavae • TRICUSPID VALVE into right ventricle • PULMONARY SEMILUNAR VALVES into pulmonary trunk and to the lung • PULMONARY VEINS into the left atrium • BICUSPID VALVE into left ventricle • AORTIC SEMILUNAR VALVES into aorta
VALVES OF THE HEART 1. 4 SETS OF VALVESPREVENT BACKFLOW OF BLOOD = Mitral valve POSTERIOR P P LEFT RIGHT S A A P B J B J A ANTERIOR Close passively under blood pressure Heart sounds produced by valve closure
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES BICUSPID vs TRICUSPID valves are restrained by chordae tendinae which are in turn attached to papillary muscles (prevention of backflow!)
SEMILUNAR VALVES AORTIC vs PULMONARY AORTA Valvula posterior Valvula sinistra Valvula dextra Lunula Nodulus Pars densa
AUSCULTATION POINTS OF HEART SOUNDS 1st HS: at beginning of ventricular contraction, due to closure of the AV valves 2nd HS: at beginning of ventricular diastole, due to closure of the semilunar valves
AORTIC STENOSIS PATHOLOGY Poststenotic dilation in the aorta (arrow). Hypertrophy of the left ventricle. NORMAL
MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE Most common cardiac variation (5-10% of population) Mitral valve cusps do not close properly Regurgitation during left ventricular systole Not life threatening; may be lifestyle threatening
