Anatomy of the Heart
Approximately the size of a fist, hollow, cone-shaped
Inside the bony thorax between the lungs
Pointed apex is angled toward left hip, rests on the diaphragm at the same level as the fifth intercostal space
Broader base points towards right shoulder blade, beneath second rib

Anatomy of the Heart Enclosed by a double sac of serous membrane =
pericardium The thin epicardium hugs the external surface of the
heart and is part of the heart wall Myocardium = thick middle layer made of thick
bundles of cardiac muscles twisted into ring-like arrangements, this is the layer that actually contracts
Endocardium = thin inner layer, lubricated sheet of endothelium, continuous with the linings of the blood vessels leaving and entering the heart, allows blood to flow more smoothly
Pericarditis = inflammation of the pericardium, causes pericardial layers to stick to each other, forming painful adhesions that interfere with heart movements

Anatomy of the Heart Four chambers Atria = top chambers, receive blood
Right atrium = receives from body, deoxygenated blood
Left atrium = receives from lungs, oxygenated blood Ventricles = bottom chambers, pump blood out
of heart Left ventricle = pumps to body, oxygenated blood Right ventricle = pumps to lungs, deoxygenated
blood Interventricular and interatrial septum = divides
heart longitudinally

Major Heart Vessels Vena cava = brings blood from body to right
atrium Superior vena cava = blood from above the heart Inferior vena cava = blood from below the heart
Pulmonary veins = bring blood from lungs to left atrium
Aorta = large artery that carries blood from left ventricle to rest of body
Pulmonary arteries = carry blood from right ventricle to lungs
![Page 10: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Heart Valves Allow blood to flow in only one direction: atria
ventricles arteries Atrioventricular valves (AV) = between atrial and
ventricular chambers Bicuspid valve= two cusps (flaps of endocardium), between
left atrium and ventricle, also known as mitral valve Tricuspid valve = three cusps, between right atrium and
ventricle Chordae tendineae – “heart strings,” anchor cusps to
ventricles, help keep them closed Semilunar valves = base of the two large arteries
Pulmonary semilunar valve = base of pulmonary artery Aortic semilunar valve = base of aorta
![Page 12: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

How does the heart beat? Double pump – right side =
pulmonary (lungs), left side = systemic (rest of body)
Both atria contract together and both ventricles contract together
![Page 14: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How does the heart beat? Cardiac cycle = start of one heart beat
to the initiation of the next Heart usually beats ~75 times per minute Cardiac cycle usually lasts ~0.8 seconds
Systole = heart contraction Diastole = heart relaxation Three main phases of cardiac cycle:
1. Mid-to-late diastole 2. Ventricular systole 3. Early diastole
![Page 15: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How does the heart beat?
1. Mid-to-late diastole: Heart in complete relaxation pressure in heart is low, blood is
flowing passively into the atria Semilunar valves are closed AV valves are open The atria contract and force the blood into the ventricles
2. Ventricular systole: The pressure building in the ventricles closes the AV valves, then
opens the semilunar valves Blood rushes out of ventricles into arteries Atria are relaxed during this phase and starting to fill up with blood
again 3. Early diastole:
Ventricles relax and semilunar valves close to prevent backflow ventricles are completely closed chambers, pressure drops
When the pressure drops low enough, the AV valves open
![Page 16: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How does the heart beat? Cardiac muscles can contract spontaneously,
even if all nervous connections are severed. Different rhythms in different areas of the
heart atria = 60 beats/minute, ventricles = 20-40 beats/minute needs unifying control
Two main systems: intrinsic conduction system (nodal system) and autonomic nervous system
Autonomic nervous system acts like “brakes” or “gas pedal” decrease or increase heart rate
![Page 17: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How does the heart beat? Intrinsic conduction system is built into the heart
tissue – found nowhere else in the body Causes heart depolarization from atria to ventricles Enforces rate of ~75 beats per minute Path of signal:
Sinoatrial (SA) node – right atrium “pacemaker” Atrioventricular (AV) node – junction of atria and
ventricles Atrioventricular (AV) bundle (bundle of His) – junction of
atria and ventricles Right and left bundle branches – to right and left of
bundle of His Purkinje fibers – spread throughout ventricle muscle walls

Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Traces the flow of electric current through the heart
3 waves: P wave – small, signals depolarization of
atria before they contract QRS complex – the “peak,” symbolizes
depolarization of ventricles before they contract, repolarization of atria is generally hidden by this complex
T wave – repolarization of ventricles

Blood Vessels Blood circulates through the body in a closed
transport system “vascular system” Leaves the heart in large arteries Moves to smaller arteries arterioles
capillary beds Capillary beds drain into venules small
veins veins leading to heart Arteries, arterioles, veins, and venules =
transporting blood Capillaries = where the exchange between
tissue cells and blood occur
![Page 22: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Blood Vessels Blood vessels (except for capillaries) have three
coats, or tunics Tunica interna – Lines the interior of the vessels,
thin layer of endothelium resting on loose layer of connective tissue, cells fit close together to make slippery surface that decreases friction as blood flows through
Tunica media – bulky middle coat, smooth muscle and elastic tissue, controlled by sympathetic nervous system, changes diameter of blood vessels and therefore, blood pressure
Tunica externa – outermost layer, fibrous connective tissue, supports and protects vessels
![Page 24: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Blood Vessels
![Page 25: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Blood Vessels Arteries tend to have thicker walls than veins Some larger arteries even have elastic laminae,
complete sheets of elastic tissue within their tunica media Arteries must be able to expand as blood is forced into
them and relax when it leaves during diastole walls must be strong and stretchy to handle continuous changes in pressure
Veins have thinner walls and have much lower pressure Sometimes have to work against gravity Lumens are larger than those in arteries Valves to prevent backflow of blood Skeletal muscles help “milk” blood back to heart Inhaling also causes a drop in pressure that causes the big
veins near the heart to expand and fill
![Page 26: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Blood Vessels Capillary walls are just one cell layer thick
easier to make exchanges between blood and tissue cells
Capillary beds = interweaving networks of tiny capillary vessels
Microcirculation – flow of blood from arteriole capillary bed venule
Two parts to capillary bed: Vascular shunt – vessel that connects to
arteriole and venule at opposite ends of bed True capillaries – actual exchange vessels, 10-
100 per bed
![Page 27: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Blood Vessels Capillaries form such an intricate network so that no
substance has to diffuse very far to enter or leave a cell Space between tissue cells and capillaries is filled with
interstitial fluid Substances move according to their concentration
gradients high to low Can take one of four “routes:”
1. Diffuse directly across plasma membrane if they are lipid soluble (ex. Respiratory gases)
2. Endocytosis or exocytosis – moving within vesicles 3. Fluid can flow through intercellular clefts (gaps between
cells) 4. Small solutes and fluids can move through fenestrated
capillaries, which are usually found where absorption or filtration is a priority (ex. Intestine, kidneys)
Only substances that cannot pass through these “routes” will remain in capillaries (ex. Proteins, blood cells)

Important Veins Superior and inferior vena cava Brachiocephalic vein Internal and exterior jugular veins Vertebral vein Subclavian vein Basilic vein Cepalic vein Hepatic portal vein Hepatic veins Renal veins Internal, external, and common
iliac veins Great saphenous vein (longest in
body) Femoral vein Fibular vein Anterior and posterior tibial veins

Special Circulations – Brain Need continuous blood supply to the brain Two pairs of arteries: internal carotid arteries and vertebral
arteries Internal carotid arteries go through neck and temporal bone,
then divides into anterior and middle cerebral arteries Vertebral arteries go through base of neck then join inside
the skull to form basilar artery, which serves the brain stem and cerebellum. It then divides again to form the posterior cerebral arteries.
Anterior and posterior blood supplies are connected by small communicating arterial branches a complete circle of connecting blood vessels called the circle of Willis
Circle of Willis protects brain by providing more than one route for blood to reach the brain in case of clots or impaired blood flow

Special Circulations – Hepatic Portal Drains blood from digestive organs, spleen, and
pancreas and delivers it to the liver through the hepatic portal vein
Liver processes the nutrients from food to help maintain the balance of glucose, fat, and protein concentrations in the blood some get removed for storage
Liver is drained by hepatic veins inferior vena cava
Unique because normally arteries capillaries veins, but in this case, veins feed the liver circulation
![Page 33: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Special Circulations – Hepatic Portal
![Page 34: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Special Circulations - Fetal Nutrient, excretory, and gas exchanges all happen
through placenta because lungs and digestive system are not yet functioning.
Nutrients and oxygen move from mother to baby while wastes move in the other direction.
Umbilical cord has three blood vessels: one umbilical vein and two umbilical arteries
Vein carries blood with nutrients and oxygen to baby while the arteries carry CO2 and other waste to the placenta
Blood flows mainly to the heart of the fetus, bypassing the immature liver through the ductus venosus which enters the inferior vena cava
![Page 35: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Special Circulations - Fetal Since lungs aren’t being used, two shunts help
bypass them Blood entering right atrium goes straight to left
atrium through foramen ovale Blood that makes it to the right ventricle is
pumped out pulmonary trunk to ductus arteriosus, where it is pumped back to the aorta.
At birth, the foramen ovale closes and the ductus arteriosus collapses and is converted to fibrous ligamentum arteriosum (connects aorta to pulmonary artery)

Physiology of Circulation Pulse – rhythmic expansion
and recoil of arteries resulting from heart beating can be felt outside of body when an artery is close to the body surface
Pulse can be influenced by activity, postural changes, and emotions
Pressure points – points where pulse can be most easily felt; they are compressed to stop blood flow during hemorrhaging
![Page 38: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Physiology of Circulation Blood pressure = pressure blood exerts against inner
walls of blood vessels The force that keeps blood circulating continuously, even
between heartbeats blood moves from high to low pressure
Systolic pressure – pressure in the arteries at the peak of ventricle contraction
Diastolic pressure – pressure when ventricles are relaxing Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury
(mm Hg) and with the systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure (ex. 120/80)
Hypertension = chronic high blood pressure (140/90 or higher)
![Page 39: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Physiology of Circulation Blood pressure is usually measured through the
auscultatory method: Blood flow is stopped through an inflated blood
pressure cuff. As the pressure in the cuff is slowly released, the
examiner listens carefully for two signals. The first signal is a soft tapping sound as blood
starts to spurt through the artery this is recorded as systolic pressure.
The second signal is when the tapping sound can no longer be heard this point is recorded as diastolic pressure
![Page 40: Cardiovascular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568163f1550346895dd5703d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Physiology of Circulation Blood pressure is directly related to cardiac output and
peripheral resistance (the amount of friction encountered by the blood as it flows through the vessels)
Factors that can affect blood pressure: Age Weight Time of day Exercise Body position Emotional state Drugs Kidneys Temperature Diet
