Study Notes

Pericardium & Heart

  • The pericardium is a double-layered membrane surrounding the heart
  • It consists of two layers:
    • Outer fibrous pericardium: Forms a tough, protective outer layer
    • Inner serous pericardium: Composed of visceral (inner) and parietal (outer) layers
  • The pericardial space is the thin fluid-filled space between the visceral and parietal layers
  • The apex of the heart rests on the central tendon of the diaphragm
  • The base is attached to the upper and lower sterno-pericardial ligaments
  • The heart's surfaces include anterior, posterior, and lateral surfaces
  • The anterior surface (sternocostal) is largely formed by the right ventricle
  • Lateral surfaces are characterized by the right atrium on the right and left auricle/ventricle on the left
  • The inferior surface (diaphragmatic) is composed primarily of both ventricles (mostly left)
  • The heart is bordered by both atria (mostly left) superiorly, the superior and inferior vena cava and the right atrium laterally, and the both ventricles (mainly right) inferiorly
  • The heart lies in the middle mediastinum, about 3.5 inches from the midclavicular line and just below the middle of the 5th intercostal space (this is the location of the apex)
  • The superior border of the heart begins at the 2nd costal cartilage
  • The right border is located at the 3rd rib costal cartilage
  • The inferior border is traced from the 6th rib costal cartilage to the left 5th intercostal space
  • Left border is identified at the 5th intercostal space
  • The coronary groove separates the atria from the ventricles
  • The pericardial sinuses are divisions inside the pericardium, including the oblique and transverse sinuses

Pericardial Sinuses

  • Oblique sinus: Located behind the left atrium, and is related to the esophagus and the descending aorta. It's flanked by the left and right pulmonary veins
  • Transverse sinus: Surrounds the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk. It lies between the right and left sides of the pericardial cavity

Heart Valves

  • Pulmonary valve: Between the right ventricle and pulmonary trunk, with 3 semilunar cusps (1 anterior, 2 posterior)
  • Aortic valve: Between the left ventricle and ascending aorta, consisting of 3 semilunar cusps (1 posterior, 2 anterior)
  • Mitral valve (bicuspid valve): Located between the left ventricle and the left atrium
  • Tricuspid valve: Located between the right ventricle and the right atrium; it has 3 cusps

Arterial Supply of the Heart

  • Right coronary artery: Originates from the right aortic sinus, runs between the pulmonary trunk and right auricle, and branches supply the right atrium and ventricle; significant branches supply the sinoatrial (SAN) and atrioventricular (AVN) nodes; there are additional branches for the heart
  • Left coronary artery: Originates from the left aortic sinus and supplies the left ventricle and atrium. It has anterior and circumflex branches; these branches supply anterior and posterior surfaces and various bundle branches

Venous Drainage of the Heart

  • Vena cordis minimae: These veins drain into the cardiac chambers
  • Coronary sinus: Drains into the posterior wall of the right atrium
  • Tributaries of the coronary sinus include the great cardiac vein, middle cardiac vein, and small cardiac vein.

Conduction System of the Heart

  • Sinoatrial (SA) node: Pacemaker of the heart, located in the right atrium
  • Atrioventricular (AV) node: Located in the interatrial septum
  • AV bundle (Bundle of His): Passes into the interventricular septum
  • Right and Left bundle branches: Distribute impulses to the ventricles (impulses pass in the moderator band and into the interventricular septum)
  • Purkinje fibers: Transmit impulses rapidly throughout the ventricles, stimulating contraction

Internal Features of the Heart

  • Right Atrium: Detailed anatomy (crista terminalis, pectinates muscles, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, opening of coronary sinus, fossa ovalis, annulus ovalis, vena cordis minimae, tricuspid valve opening, anterior wall, posterior wall)
  • Left Atrium: Detailed anatomy (no crista terminalis, pectinates muscles, 4 pulmonary veins, fossa ovalis, annulus ovalis, mitral valve opening, posterior wall, vena cordis minimi)
  • Right Ventricle: Detailed anatomy (inflow and outflow tracts, trabeculae carneae, papillary muscles, moderator band, pulmonary valve, tricuspid valve, vena cordis minimi openings)
  • Left Ventricle: Detailed anatomy (inflow and outflow tracts, trabeculae carneae, papillary muscles, mitral valve, aortic valve, chordae tendinae, vena cordis minimae openings) Describes detailed structural features of both ventricles (trabeculae carneae, papillary muscles, moderator band and chordae tendineae
