THE HEART
![Page 2: THE HEART. Cardiovascular System series of tubes-blood vessels filled with a fluid-blood connected to a pump-heart Arteries –carry blood away from heart.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ef45503460f94c07940/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Cardiovascular System• series of tubes-blood vessels• filled with a fluid-blood• connected to a pump-heart• Arteries
– carry blood away from heart• Veins
– carry blood to heart• pressure generated in heart
pumps blood continuously through system
• Blood flow– movement of blood through
heart & around body to peripheral tissues
• Circulation
![Page 3: THE HEART. Cardiovascular System series of tubes-blood vessels filled with a fluid-blood connected to a pump-heart Arteries –carry blood away from heart.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ef45503460f94c07940/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Circulation• right side of body-
Pulmonary Circuit– carries blood to & from
lungs for gas exchange• Systemic Circuit
– carries newly oxygenated blood from lungs to body & back to heart
• each circuit begins & ends at heart
![Page 4: THE HEART. Cardiovascular System series of tubes-blood vessels filled with a fluid-blood connected to a pump-heart Arteries –carry blood away from heart.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ef45503460f94c07940/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Heart Anatomy• hollow, small organ• about size of clenched fist• weighs from 250-350 grams• located in middle of chest in
mediastinum• surrounded by pericardial cavity• lining of pericardial cavity is
pericardium– visceral & parietal part
• visceral pericardium -epicardium– superficial layer that covers
surface of heart• parietal pericardium
– lines inner surface of pericardial sac which surrounds heart
• between these two-pericardial cavity
• filled with pericardial fluid • to lubricate & reduce friction

Heart Wall• 3 layers
• Epicardium-visceral pericardium
– covers outer surface
• Myocardium
– muscular wall
• Endocardium
– simple squamous epithelium

Microscopic Anatomy• different from skeletal muscle
in several ways• cells are smaller• uninucleated• have branching
interconnections between have intercalated discs– location of gap junctions &
desmosomes– convey action potentials
from cell to cell – ensure cells contract
simultaneously

Heart Anatomy• top of heart-base• pointed, lower part-apex• 4 chambers
– 2 atria & 2 ventricles• coronary sulcus
(atrioventricular sulcus)
• anterior & posterior interventricular sulci– mark external
boundary of right & left ventricle
Coronary Sulcus
![Page 8: THE HEART. Cardiovascular System series of tubes-blood vessels filled with a fluid-blood connected to a pump-heart Arteries –carry blood away from heart.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ef45503460f94c07940/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Heart Anatomy• each atrium has expandable
extensions- auricles– hold extra blood
• right atrium receives blood from systemic circuit via superior & inferior vena cavae & coronary sinus
• superior vena cava– returns blood from body areas
superior to diaphragm
• inferior vena cava– drains areas below diaphragm
• coronary sinus– delivers blood from myocardium
of heart

Internal Heart Anatomy• blood passes into right
ventricle via right AV (atrioventricular) valve or tricuspid valve– keeps blood flowing in one
direction from atrium to ventricle
– prevents backflow into atrium
• tiny, white collagen cords-chordae tendineae attach to each flap
• originate at papillary muscles– help to close valves
• chordae tendineae & papillary muscles anchor flaps in closed position
![Page 11: THE HEART. Cardiovascular System series of tubes-blood vessels filled with a fluid-blood connected to a pump-heart Arteries –carry blood away from heart.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ef45503460f94c07940/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Internal Heart Anatomy• pectinate muscles-right
atrium• fossa ovalis also found here• muscular ridges- ventricles-
trabeculae carnae• moderator band extends
horizontally from right ventricle wall– coordinates contraction
of muscle cells– insures chordae tendinae
tense before ventricles contract
![Page 12: THE HEART. Cardiovascular System series of tubes-blood vessels filled with a fluid-blood connected to a pump-heart Arteries –carry blood away from heart.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ef45503460f94c07940/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Internal Anatomy• from right ventricle blood is pumped to
pulmonary circuit• valves between ventricles & vessels-
semilunar valves– prevent back flow into ventricles
• each made of 3 pocket-like flaps shaped like crescent moons
• blood travels via pulmonary semilunar valve into pulmonary trunk– start of pulmonary circuit
• from pulmonary trunk, blood goes to left & right pulmonary arteries and to lungs for gas exchange
• after being oxygenated, blood reenters heart via 2 left & 2 right pulmonary veins-open into left atrium
• blood goes from left atrium to left ventricle via left AV valve
• bicuspid or mitral valve• from here blood is ejected through
aortic semi lunar valveinto aortic arch

Heart Anatomy• left ventricle
– discharging chamber• contractsblood propelled into
circulation• equal volumes are pumped to both
circuits• right pumps blood to pulmonary circuit
through pulmonary trunk– short path with low pressure
• left pumps blood through systemic circuit– long path-runs through entire body– 5X more resistance to flow – functional difference between left &
right ventricle is reflected in anatomy• left ventricle walls are 3X as thick as
right ventricle wall– allows left ventricle to generate more
pressure• pulmonary trunk is attached to aortic arch
by ligamentum arteriosum
Ligamentum arteriosum

Coronary Circulation• heart muscle must have its own
source of oxygenated blood• supplied by coronary arteries
– originate at base of ascending aorta
– blood pressure• right coronary artery follows coronary
sulcus & supplies right atrium, parts of both ventricles & parts of conducting system
• left coronary artery supplies: left ventricle, left atrium & interventricular septum
• great cardiac vein– begins anterior surface of
ventricles along interventriuclar sulcus
• curves around left side of heart in coronary sulcus
• empties into coronary sinus

Heart Beat• myocytes-autorhythmic
– depolarize spontaneously at regular time intervals
– initiate contraction without signals from brain
• each beat begins with action potential generated at SA node (sino-atrial)-pacemaker– generates impulses at regular
intervals• to ensure four chambers of heart are
coordinated electrical signals travel through cardiac conduction system
• sympathetic & parasympathetic connections to heart can modify heart beat– not involved in normal contractions
