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
