Location of the heartIn mediastinum
behind the sternum between 2nd & 6th ribs. Shifted to left.
Posteriorly between 5th to 8th thoracic vertebrae
Apex (lowest point) lies on diaphragm

PericardiumSac covering the heart
Fibrous pericardium – tough, inelastic
Serous pericardium- 2 layersParietal layer- lines fibrous
pericardiumVisceral layer (epicardium)-
adheres to outside of heart; space between parietal & visceral layer contain small amount of fluid

Function of pericardiumProvides protection against friction

Layers of the heartEpicardium (also the serous pericardium)Myocardium-thick contractile layer of muscle
cellsEndocardium-cover trabeculae (muscular
projections); specialized folds of endocardium make up the major valves of heart
![Page 7: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Chambers of heart
Atria: upper chambers
Ventricles: lower chambers
Chambers are separated by an extension of heart wall, septum
![Page 8: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Atria
Receive blood from veins
Send blood to ventricles
Thin myocardial wall
Auricle: earlike flap protruding from each atrium
![Page 9: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ventricles
Receive blood from the atria
Pump blood out of heart into arteries
Thicker myocardium
Myocardium of left ventricle thicker than right ventricle
![Page 10: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Heart valves
Permit flow of blood in one directionAtrioventricular valves
Semilunar valves
![Page 11: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Atrioventricular valves
Made of flaps of endocardium
Flaps anchored to papillary muscle by chordae tendineae
Rt AV valve: tricuspid valve
Lt AV valve: mitral (bicuspid) valve
![Page 12: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Semilunar valves
Consists of half moon shaped flaps
Pulmonary semilunar valve: at the entrance to the pulmonary artery
Aortic semilunar valve: at the entrance to aorta
![Page 13: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Flow of blood through the heart

Blood supply to heart Blood supplied thru the right & left coronary arteries
Coronary arteries are first branches off aorta
After blood has passed thru capillary beds, enters cardiac veins then thru common channel, coronary sinus, then into rt atrium
![Page 16: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Conduction system of heartSinoatrial node (pacemaker): in rt atrium
near opening of superior vena cavaAtrioventricular node: in rt atrium along
lower part of interatrial septumAtrioventricular bundle: originate in AV
node & extend by 2 branches thru the 2 sides of the interventricular septum
Purkinje fibers: extension of AV bundle out to the lateral walls of the ventricles & papillary muscles

Conduction System

Blood vesselsArteries: carry blood away from heartArterioles: small arteries
Veins: Carry blood toward heartVenules: small veins
Capillaries: microscopic blood vessels that carry blood from arterioles to venules
![Page 19: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3 layers of blood vessels
Tunica adventitia: outer layer, fibrous connective tissue
Tunica media: layer of smooth muscle & elastic connective tissue
Tunica intima: made of smooth endothelium
![Page 20: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Functions of capillaries
Transport materials to and from cells
Capillaries so numerous & so small that blood flows at its slowest rate in capillaries
![Page 22: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Functions of arteries
Function as “distributors”
Arterioles also function as resistance vessels
Smooth muscle cells on arterioles act as precapillary sphincters where a capillary originates
![Page 23: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Functions of veinsReturn blood to heartAct as reservoir vesselsAbility to stretch by veins called capacitance thus veins are capacitance vessels
![Page 24: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Circulatory routes
Systemic circulation: blood flow from heart to all parts of body (except lungs)
Pulmonary circulation: blood flow from heart to lungs
![Page 25: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ArteriesEnd-arteries: most of the arteries, they diverge into capillaries
A few arteries open into branches of other arteries; this communication is an arterial anastomosis
Incidence of arterial anastomosis increases as distance from the heart increases
![Page 26: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
AortaMajor artery that
serves as trunk of the entire systemic arterial system
First few cm conducts blood up away from lt ventricle-ascending aorta
Then turns 180 degrees-aortic arch
Then downward from arch-descending aorta
![Page 27: Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56649c9c5503460f9495a428/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Veins
Large veins that return blood to heart in systemic circulation are superior & inferior vena cava
