Lecture 16

C. Internal Anatomy of the Heart

Parts of the heart: 4 chambers: 2 atria, left and right are superior (?) separated by

the atrial septum and 2 ventricles that are inferior, left and right, divided by the

ventricular septum. Side by side, works in unison

Left atrium

oReceives blood from the pulmonary veins  sends to ventricles

oWe have blood from the superior portion of the body via superior

vena cava to the inferior portions

oWe have well 02 blood here, the pulmonary veins carries it to the

heart? (behind, you have two of these) carries blood to the left

atrium, when it reaches it, it will send it to the left ventricle, which

upon contraction will send it to the systemic circulation (rest of the

body via aorta)

oSo we are in systematic circulation here

Left ventricle

oReceives blood from left atrium  sends to atrium

Right atrium

oReceives blood from venae cavae  sends to right ventricle

oSuperior to inferior vena cava?

Right ventricle

oReceives blood from right atrium  sends to lungs

oBlood back to heart via pulmonary veins

Valves  ensure flow is unidirectional (one-way)

oNo valves at entrance to the right & left atrium 

Due to weak atrial contraction relative to ventricular

contraction

Atrial contraction compresses the veins at the entry to the

heart  closes the exit to the heart & reduces backflow

During ventricular contraction

oAtria-ventricular (AV) valves  tricuspid (right AV) & bicuspid/mitral

valve (left EV) (fig 14.7, you have a superior view – looking down)

Attached on ventricular side to collagenous cords  chordae

tendinae

Prevents valves from being pushed back into atrium

oSemilunar valves  aortic (Between left ventricle and aorta) and

pulmonary (right ventricle and…?)

During ventricular contraction these SV two are nice and open

You don’t want the blood from the ventricle into the

atria that it just game from so both the right AV and

left AV are shut

Document Summary

Lecture 16: internal anatomy of the heart. Parts of the heart: 4 chambers: 2 atria, left and right are superior (?) separated by the atrial septum and 2 ventricles that are inferior, left and right, divided by the ventricular septum. Left ventricle: receives blood from left atrium sends to atrium. Right ventricle: receives blood from right atrium sends to lungs, blood back to heart via pulmonary veins. Valves ensure flow is unidirectional (one-way: no valves at entrance to the right & left atrium . Due to weak atrial contraction relative to ventricular contraction. Atrial contraction compresses the veins at the entry to the heart closes the exit to the heart & reduces backflow. During ventricular contraction: atria-ventricular (av) valves tricuspid (right av) & bicuspid/mitral valve (left ev) (fig 14. 7, you have a superior view looking down) Attached on ventricular side to collagenous cords chordae tendinae.

A physician performing a heart transplant mistakenly connectsthe inferior and superior vena cava to the left atrium and thepulmonary vein to the right atrium. Using a flow chart or numberedlist, trace the path of a red blood cell STARTING in the leftatrium until it returns to the left atrium in the patient. The pathshould indicate the specific blood vessels, valves, and chambers ofthe heart the red blood cell would encounter on its journey. Whateffect would this have on oxygen exchange in systemiccapillaries?
