    Study Notes

    Anatomy and Physiology of the Heart

    • The heart is located in the thoracic cavity, between the lungs and behind the sternum
    • The chambers of the heart include the atria (receiving chambers) and the ventricles (discharging chambers)
    • The blood vessels that connect to the heart are the superior and inferior venae cavae, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, and the aorta
    • The layers that make up the heart wall are the epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium
    • The left side of the heart has a thicker wall due to the higher pressure needed to pump blood to the entire body
    • The atria have protruding auricles and pectinate muscles mark atrial walls
    • The ventricles have papillary muscles and trabeculae carneae muscles marking their walls
    • The pathway of blood through the heart and lungs involves the atria, ventricles, valves, and major blood vessels
    • Coronary circulation is the functional blood supply to the heart muscle itself, with collateral routes ensuring blood delivery even if major vessels are occluded
    • Heart valves, including atrioventricular and semilunar valves, ensure unidirectional blood flow through the heart
    • Cardiac muscle is striated, short, fat, branched, and interconnected, with intercalated discs anchoring cardiac cells together and allowing free passage of ions
    • The heart's conduction system involves the SA node, AV node, atrioventricular bundle, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers, and it is related to electrocardiography and the cardiac cycle
