    Study Notes

    Cardiac Anatomy and Physiology

    • The heart has four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.
    • Valves separate the atria and ventricles (tricuspid and mitral valves), and the ventricles from the arteries (pulmonary and aortic valves).
    • The heart muscle has three layers: epicardium (outer), myocardium (middle, muscular), and endocardium (inner).
    • The myocardium is the thickest layer, responsible for contraction.
    • The pericardium surrounds the heart, containing fluid to cushion and lubricate.
    • Coronary arteries supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle and coronary veins return deoxygenated blood.

    Heart Valves

    • Tricuspid valve: between right atrium and right ventricle
    • Mitral (bicuspid) valve: between left atrium and left ventricle
    • Pulmonary valve: between right ventricle and pulmonary artery
    • Aortic valve: between left ventricle and aorta

    Blood Flow Through the Heart

    • Blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava.
    • Blood flows through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle.
    • Blood is pumped through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery to the lungs.
    • Blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium.
    • Blood flows through the mitral valve to the left ventricle.
    • Blood is pumped through the aortic valve into the aorta and to the rest of the body.
    • Atrial contraction contributes about 25% of the blood flow to the ventricles.

    Cardiac Cycle

    • Diastole: relaxation phase, filling of the chambers
    • Systole: contraction phase, ejection of blood
    • Atrial systole: atrial contraction, forces blood into ventricles
    • Ventricular systole: ventricular contraction, forces blood into arteries
    • Lub-dub sounds: closing of the heart valves

    Cardiac Output

    • Stroke volume: amount of blood pumped per heartbeat (typically 70 mL)
    • Heart rate: number of heartbeats per minute (typically 60-100 bpm)
    • Cardiac output: amount of blood pumped per minute (stroke volume x heart rate)
