The cardiovascular system includes:
- heart
- blood vessels
Performs the function of pumping and
carrying blood to the rest of the body.
The cardiovascular system

The Heart
-The heart is the central organ of the thorax
- In the dog, the heart lies caudoventrally between the third and seventh ribs and slightly to the left.
- In the horse, the heart lies dorsalventraly between the third and sixth ribs and slightly to the left.

Pericardium- the fibroserous sac enclosingthe heart, composed of: A. fibrous pericardium B. serous pericardium - and covered by the pericardial mediastinal pleura
5
A. Fibrous pericardium- tough, fibrous sacsurrounding the serous pericardium, the heartand pericardial cavity

B. Serous pericardium- a serous membrane forminga closed cavity, composed of :
1. Parietal layer of Serous pericardium -
lines the inner surface of the fibrous pericardium

B. Serous pericardium- cont.2. Visceral layer of Serous pericardium -
covers the myocardium of heartalso called: epicardium

C. pericardial cavity: potential space betweenthe visceral and parietal layers of serous pericardium
contains ~ 1 ml of serous fluid that acts as a lubricant
11
Structure
The heart is roughly conical with the base being dorsal and the apex close to the sternum opposite the sixth costal cartilage.
12
Structure - The base is formed by the thin walled atria which are clearly separated from the ventricles by an encircling coronary groove
- coronary groove contains the main coronary vessels.
13
General anatomy of the heart
In the adult it consists of four chambers:
1. Right atrium
2. Left atrium
3. Right ventricle
4. Left ventricle

Right atrium The caudal vena cava enters the
chamber above the opening of the coronary sinus.
The cranial vena cava opens at the terminal crest.
The intervenous tubercle separates the two caval openings preventing confrontation between the two streams.
- The right azygous vein enters dorsally .

Right atriumRight atrium
19
Left atrium
Similar form to the right atrium.
Receives pulmonary veins which enter at two or three sites.
Auricle similar to right.
20
Right ventricle
Receives blood from right atrium through right atrioventricular valve (tricuspid).
Cusps are joined by fibrous Chordae Tendinae which attach to papillary muscles on ventricular wall.
22

Right ventricleRight ventricle
24
Left ventricle Left atrioventricular valve is bicuspid and
much larger and stronger than the right. The ventricular wall is much thicker than
on the right due to high resistance of the systemic circulation.
Blood leaves the ventricle via the
semilunar aortic valve into the aorta.
27
Cardiac vessels
• • The heart tissue receives 15% of the cardiac output from the left ventricle.
• This travels in two arteries from sinuses just above the aortic valve.
29
The coronary veins
– Blood returns to the heart via the cardiac vein.
– This opens into the the right atrium via the
coronary sinus just below the entrance of the caudal vena cava.
30
Systemic circulation
• The systemic arteries:
• The aortic arch
• The origin of the aorta is similar to that of the pulmonary trunk but is from the left ventricle.
Arteries and Veins Cranial to the Heart
1. Brachiocephalic trunk- 1st branch from the aortic arch, gives rise to: (2) left common carotid artery and terminates as the (3)right common carotid artery and (4) right subclavian artery
5. left subclavian artery- originates from aortic arch beyond the brachiocephalic trunk

The common carotid arteries supply structures of the head.
The subclavian artery supplies blood to the forelimb and to structures of the neck and cerviocothoracic junction .
It winds around the cranial border of the first rib to enter the limb through the axilla ,it changes its name to axillary at this point.
34
The subclavin detaches four branches in its intrathoracic course:
1. The vertebral artery
1. The costocervical trunk
1. The internal thoracic artery
1. The superficial cervical artery
35
The thoracic aorta
• The thoracic aorta runs caudally below the roof of the thorax to enter the abdomen by the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm .
• It continues as the abdominal aorta in company with the azygous vein and thoracic duct.
36
The systemic veins
The systemic veins return blood to the heart through the cranial vena cava , caudal vena cava and coronary sinus.
The cranial vena cava :
- is formed close to the entrance to the chest by the union of the external jugular and subclavian veins.
37
The caudal vena cava:The caudal vena cava:
- is formed on the abdomen near the pelvic - is formed on the abdomen near the pelvic inlet , by the union of right and left common inlet , by the union of right and left common iliac veins.iliac veins.

Diaphragm
Diaphragm consists of contractile skeletal muscle, innervated by phrenic nerve
Openings in Diaphragm: 1. Aortic hiatus-(hiatus- term for gap, cleft, or opening)-dorsal part of diaphragm, passage of aorta, azygos, and thoracic duct 2. Esophageal hiatus- centrally located and ventral to aortic hiatus,passage of esophagus
3. Caval foramen- to right\ventral of esophageal hiatus, passage of caudal vena cava
