Connects to the ribs via cartilage and forms the front of the rib cage, thus helping to protect the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels from injury. Figure 2. The pericardium. Also called pericardial sac, is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels.

LESLIE ASUNCION-VIADO | 01/04/21  Pericardium - Fibrous sac - Encloses the heart and the roots of the great vessels - Double layer sac - Functions: - Restrict excessive movements of the heart as a whole (does not allow the heart to go swinging inside the mediastinum) - Serve as a lubricated container in which the different parts of the heart can contract (prevents creation of friction between the heart and the mediastinal organs when the heart contracts Figure 3.

Fibrous Pericardium - Outermost part / superficial layer - Strong fibrous part of the sac (consists of dense, loose connective tissue) - Firmly attached below the central tendon of the diaphragm - Fuses with the outer coats of the great blood vessels passing through it (aorta, pulmonary trunk, superior and inferior vena cava, pulmonary trunk) - Attached in front to the sternum by the sternopericardial ligaments - Protects the heart from overfilling because it is fibrous and unyielding 2.

Fibrous pericardium b. Parietal layer of serous pericardium - Forms an inverted U-shaped Cul-de- sac - Runs along the long axis of the heart from the apex to the ascending aorta  Vagus Nerve & Sympathetic Branches - Space behind the heart - the tenth cranial nerve or CN X, and interfaces with 2. Transverse Sinus the parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract - Short horizontal space (superiorly) - Supplies: - Lies between the reflection of the serous pericardium o Visceral layer of serous pericardium around the aorta and pulmonary trunk and the reflection around the large veins - Posterior to the ascending aorta and pulmonary V. BECK’S TRIAD trunk and anterior to the superior vena cava - Collection of three clinical signs associated with pericardial tamponade which is due to an excessive accumulation of fluid within the pericardial sac.

Jugular vein distention (JVD) - Due to the pressure **Atrioventricular groove separates the atria from the exerted on the right ventricle, diastolic filling decreases. This ventricles *AV grooves contains the coronary arteries: causes blood to back up into the right atria and the veins that 1.

Muffled heart sounds - occurs because of the insulating VII. FUNCTIONAL CIRCUITS OF THE effect of the fluid in the pericardial sac. When sound travels HEART through fluid, it sounds distant or suppressed because it is traveling through a thicker median. 3. Hypotension - occurs because the heart is hindered in its ability to pump blood. When the heart cannot work efficiently, the rest of the body does not get supplied with the necessary amount of blood. This can result in the body going into shock and even cardiac arrest. **When the pericardial fluid in the pericardial sac is increased more than 100 ml, it creates a cardiac tamponade. *Cardiac tamponade, also known as pericardial tamponade, is when fluid in the pericardium (the sac around the heart) builds up, resulting in compression of the heart. VI. HEART (INTRODUCTION) - Hollow muscular organ - Pyramid shaped - Lies within the pericardium in middle of the mediastinum - Connected at its base to the great blood vessels - Lies freely within the pericardium - Coronary arteries are embedded beneath the fats in the AV and IV grooves **Making a fist is the size of a normal heart **Heart is not really in the middle. 1/3 is on the right side. 2/3 is on the left side. Tilted to the left. Figure 9. Pulmonary and Systemic pathways. a. Pulmonary Circuit  Right side of the heart  Blood travels short distance to the lungs  Against low peripheral resistance (lungs)  Transport blood between the heart and the lungs b. Systemic Circuit  Left side of the heart  Blood travels a long distance through the body  Against high peripheral resistance (arteries of peripheral vascular system)  Closed circuit between the heart and the rest of the body Figure 8.

The heart has three distinct layers NOTE: Very important to ask for a lateral view because namely Epicardium, Myocardium, and Endocardium the spaces between are seen. ** If left atrium is enlarged, the space between the heart B.

Right Auricle - Roughened or trabeculated by bundles of a muscle fiber called musculi pectinate, the ridges or roughened surfaces of right auricle. - Embryologically from primitive atrium Figure 15. Inferior and Superior Vena Cava. The heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the Superior Vena Cava (Upper arrow) and Lower Vena Cava (Lower arrow). 3. Coronary Sinus - Drains most of the blood from the heart wall - Between the inferior vena cava and the atrioventricular orifice - It is guarded by a rudimentary, nonfunctioning valve (THEBESIAN VALVAE) - The coronary sinus is located on the posterior (inferior) side of the heart and receives almost all of the deoxygenated blood from the vasculature of the heart. The coronary sinus opens into the right atrium anteriorly and inferiorly to the orifice of the inferior vena cava. 4.

Coronary sinus and Right AV Orifice. The Coronary sinus (yellow arrow) is the large vessel that collects blood from the myocardium while the right AV Orifice (blue aperture) serves as communication between right atrium and ventricle.

LESLIE ASUNCION-VIADO | 01/04/21 **During ventricular systole, the cusps of the valve are pressed against the wall of the pulmonary trunk by the outrushing blood. **During diastole, blood flows back toward the heart and enters the sinuses; the valve cusps fill, come into apposition in the center of the lumen, and close the pulmonary orifice.
