Study Notes

Fibrous Skeleton of the Heart

Fibrous connective tissue anchoring valve edges
Prevents valve flaps from stretching
Separates myocardium of atria and ventricles
Prevents atrial contraction from reaching ventricles except via normal conduction pathway

Heart Function

Heart is a double (two-sided) pump
Right side receives deoxygenated blood from body, pumps it to lungs to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide
Left side receives oxygenated blood from lungs, pumps it to body
Both atria contract together, followed by both ventricles contracting simultaneously
