The heartCardiovascular system
Today’s goal
• Describe the gross anatomy of the human heart– Muscle layers– Chambers– membranes
Heart AnatomyYou know this…
• Approximately the size of a fist• Location, location, location– In the mediastinum between second rib and fifth
intercostal space– On the superior surface of diaphragm– Two-thirds to the left of the midsternal line
• Enclosed in pericardium, a double-walled sac

Pericardium
• Superficial fibrous pericardium• Protects, anchors, and prevents overfilling
Pericardium
• Deep two-layered serous pericardium• See notes, October, 2012

Chambers
• Four chambers– Two atria• Separated internally by the septum
Chambers
• Two ventricles– Separated by the interventricular septum– Anterior and posterior interventricular sulci mark

Atria: The Receiving Chambers
• Vessels entering right atrium– Superior vena cava – Inferior vena cava– Coronary sinus
• Vessels entering left atrium– Right and left pulmonary veins
Ventricles: The Discharging Chambers
• Papillary muscles project into the ventricular cavities
• Vessel leaving the right ventricle– Pulmonary trunk
• Vessel leaving the left ventricle– Aorta

Pathway of Blood Through the Heart • The heart is two side-by-side pumps
– Right side is the pump for the pulmonary circuit• Vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs
– Left side is the pump for the systemic circuit• Vessels that carry the blood to and from all body tissues

Pathway of Blood Through the HeartFun facts
• Equal V of blood are pumped through both circuits
• Pulmonary circuit is a short, low-pressure
Pathway of Blood Through the Heart
• Systemic circuit blood encounters much more resistance in the long pathways
• Anatomy of the ventricles reflects these differences

Interventricularseptum
Coronary Circulation
• The functional blood supply to the heart muscle itself
• Arterial supply varies person to person!• Collateral routes provide additional routes for
blood delivery
Coronary Circulation
• Arteries – Right – marginal– left coronary (in atrioventricular groove),
circumflex, and anterior interventricular arteries• Veins – Small cardiac, anterior cardiac, and great cardiac
veins

Homeostatic Imbalances
• Angina pectoris– Thoracic pain caused by a fleeting deficiency in
blood delivery to the myocardium– Cells are weakened
Homeostatic Imbalances
• Myocardial infarction (heart attack)– Prolonged coronary blockage– Areas of cell death are repaired with noncontractile scar tissue
Heart Valves
• Ensure unidirectional blood flow through the heart• Atrioventricular (AV) valves– Prevent backflow into the atria when ventricles contract– Tricuspid valve (right)– Mitral valve (left)
• Chordae tendineae anchor AV valve cusps to papillary muscles
Heart Valves
• Semilunar (SL) valves– Prevent backflow into the ventricles when
ventricles relax– Aortic semilunar valve– Pulmonary semilunar valve

1 Ventricles contract, forcingblood against atrioventricularvalve cusps.
2 As ventricles fill,atrioventricular valve flapshang limply into ventricles.
2 Atrioventricular valvesclose.
3 Atria contract, forcingadditional blood into ventricles.
3 Papillary musclescontract and chordaetendineae tighten,preventing valve flapsfrom everting into atria.

Microscopic Anatomy of Cardiac Muscle
• Cardiac muscle cells are striated, short, fat, branched, and interconnected
• Connective tissue matrix (endomysium) connects to the fibrous skeleton
• T tubules are wide but less numerous; SR is simpler than in skeletal muscle
• Numerous large mitochondria (25–35% of cell volume)

Microscopic Anatomy of Cardiac Muscle
• Intercalated discs: junctions between cells anchor cardiac cells – Desmosomes prevent cells from separating during
contraction– Gap junctions allow ions to pass; electrically
couple adjacent cells• Heart muscle behaves as a functional
syncytium
