Study Notes
Heart Structure
- The heart has three layers: epicardium (outer), myocardium (middle), and endocardium (inner)
- Myocardium is the thickest layer, consisting of cardiac muscle, responsible for muscle contraction
- Endocardium is a thin lining of endothelial cells, providing a smooth surface for blood flow
Coronary Vessels
- Coronary arteries originate from the base of the aorta, supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle
- Coronary veins drain deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle back into the right atrium
- Coronary vessels are located on the exterior of the heart, lying in lines of fat
Pericardium
- Pericardium is a connective tissue sac around the heart
- Fibrous pericardium is the outer layer, protecting the heart
- Serous pericardium is the inner layer, consisting of two layers with a space between them (pericardial space)
- The pericardial space contains serous fluid, providing lubrication for heart contractions
Heart Function
- The heart acts as a pump, supplying blood to the body and removing waste products
- The heart has a two-pump system: systemic circulation (left side for the body) and pulmonary circulation (right side for the lungs)
Systemic Circulation
- Systemic circulation takes oxygenated blood from the lungs and sends it to the body for cellular respiration
- Depleted blood is returned to the heart through systemic circulation
- Left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and sends it to the left ventricle
- Left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body via the aorta
Pulmonary Circulation
- Pulmonary circulation takes deoxygenated blood from the body and sends it to the lungs
- In the lungs, blood releases CO2 and picks up O2
- Right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and sends it to the right ventricle
- Right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
Learn about how the heart muscle receives oxygen and nutrients through the coronary arteries and veins. Explore the origins of coronary arteries, the supply of oxygenated blood to the heart, and the drainage of deoxygenated blood back into the right atrium.
