Anatomy of the Heart

Location and Size



The size of the heart is slightly larger than a
person’s fist
Apex – the pointed end of the heart
Base – the broad portion of the heart

Anatomy of the Heart (cont.)

Coverings

Pericardium – a double sac
of serous membranes that
surrounds the heart



Visceral (epicardium) – tightly
hugs the external surface of
the heart
Parietal – the outer layer that
anchors the heart to the
diaphragm and sternum
Serous fluid located inside the pericardium used
to prevent friction
Anatomy of the Heart (cont.)

Walls



Epicardium – the outermost layer of the heart
Myocardium – the middle layer (a muscle) that
actually contracts
Endocardium – the innermost layer that lines the
heart’s chambers
Anatomy of the Heart (cont.)

Flow of blood through vessels






Arteriole - small artery
Capillary




Carries blood away from the heart
Thickest blood vessel
smallest blood vessel
A couple of cell layers thick
Venule – small vein
Vein

Carries blood towards the heart
Color of Blood and Blood Vessels


Common misconception: blood is blue in the
body
Truth: blood is always a shade of red




Oxygenated blood is a bright-red color
Deoxygenated blood is a dark-red, maroon color
In books and diagrams, oxygenated blood is
depicted red & deoxygenated blood is blue
Blood vessels are colorless without blood

Flow of Blood Through Heart

1. Superior vena cava – carries
deoxygenated blood from the head, neck,
and arms into the right atrium
Flow of Blood Through Heart

1. Inferior vena cava – carries deoxygenated
blood from the legs and other lower parts of
the body into the right atrium
Flow of Blood Through Heart

2. Right atrium – Hollow, receiving chamber
that collects deoxygenated blood from the
vena cavae before sending it to the right
ventricle
Flow of Blood Through Heart

3. Tricuspid valve - valve with three cusps;
situated between the right atrium and the
right ventricle
Flow of Blood Through Heart

4. Right ventricle – muscular, hollow chamber
that collects deoxygenated blood from the
right atrium before sending it to the
pulmonary artery
Flow of Blood Through Heart

5. Pulmonary semilunar valve – a valve
between the right ventricle and the pulmonary
artery; prevents blood from flowing from the
artery back into the heart
Flow of Blood Through Heart

6. Pulmonary artery – carries deoxygenated
blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
Flow of Blood Through Heart

7. Lungs – Location where deoxygenated
blood becomes oxygenated
Flow of Blood Through Heart

8. Pulmonary vein – carries oxygenated
blood from the lungs into the left atrium
Flow of Blood Through Heart

9. Left atrium – Hollow, receiving chamber
that collects oxygenated blood from the
pulmonary vein before sending it to the left
ventricle
Flow of Blood Through Heart

10. Bicuspid valve (or mitral valve) - Permits
blood to flow from the left atrium into the left
ventricle
Flow of Blood Through Heart

10. Bicuspid valve (or mitral valve)

This valve is called the mitral valve because it has
two flaps (cusps) and looks like a bishop's miter or
headdress
Flow of Blood Through Heart

11. Left ventricle – muscular, hollow chamber
that collects oxygenated blood from the left
atrium before sending it to the aorta
Flow of Blood Through Heart

12. Aortic semilunar valve – a valve between
the left ventricle and the aorta; prevents
blood from flowing from the artery back into
the heart
Flow of Blood Through Heart

13. Aorta – Large artery that distributes
oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of
the body
Exterior Structures

Coronary arteries – vessels that provide the
heart muscle with the oxygenated blood it
needs to keep tissues healthy
Coronary Artery Disease
Internal Structures

Septum – a dividing wall or partition
Internal Structures

Papillary muscles – the
rounded muscular
projections attached to
the chordae tendineae
in the ventricles of the
heart
Internal Structures

Chordae tendineae (or
heart strings) – cordlike tendons that
connect the papillary
muscles to the tricuspid
valve and bicuspid
valve

Valves

There are two sounds heard during each
heart beat. These are called Lub-Dub noises.

When atrioventricular (AV) valves close, a "lub"
sound is heard.


The first sound heard in the heart
When the semilunar valves close, a "dub" sound
is heard followed by a longer pause Lub-DubLubDub.

The second sound heard in the heart
Murmurs


If the valves do not close properly and leak,
the sound will not be clear but blurred.
This sound is more of a Lub-Shhh-Dub or
Lub-Dub Rumble.
Varicose Veins



A.K.A “spider veins”
Varicose veins are gnarled, enlarged veins.
Caused by valves in blood vessels not
closing properly and pooling of blood causes
the veins to swell
Cardiac Circulation

Pulmonary circulation




Pulmonary - lungs
Located on the right side of the heart
Deoxygenated side
Systemic circulation



Systemic - body
Located on the left side of the heart
Oxygenated side
Physiology of the Heart

Intrinsic conduction system – the system that
conducts heartbeats




Sinoatrial (SA) node – The pacemaker that sends
electrical signals in the right atrium
Atrioventricular (AV) node – Located between the
right atrium and right ventricle
AV bundle – Found in the septum
Purkinje fibers – Found along the sides of the
heart

Cardiac Output


Cardiac output (CO) – Amount of blood pumped by
each ventricle of the heart in one minute
Stroke volume (SV) – Volume of blood pumped by
each ventricle in one contraction (each heartbeat)



About 70 mL of blood is pumped out of the left ventricle
with each heartbeat
Usually remains relatively constant
Heart rate (HR) – Typically 75 beats per minute
Cardiac Output

CO = HR  SV




Cardiac output = heart rate x stroke volume
CO = HR (75 beats/min)  SV (70 mL/beat)
CO = 5250 mL/min
Changing heart rate is the most common way
to change cardiac output
Blood Pressure

Measurements by health professionals are
made on the pressure in large arteries




Systolic—pressure at the peak of ventricular
contraction
Diastolic—pressure when ventricles relax
Write systolic pressure first and diastolic last
(120/80 mm Hg)
mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) – unit of pressure
Category




Cold has a vasoconstricting effect
Chemicals



Pulse – Pressure wave of blood
Monitored at “pressure points” in arteries
where pulse is easily palpated
Pulse averages 70–76 beats per minute at
rest
