3. PART 01
INTRODUCTION
The cardiovascular system is the transportation system of body.
It consist Heart,blood vessels and heart,
The system works to deliver nutrients to the tissue and to remove
waste products from the tissue ,
The conveying media is in liquid form which flows into the
tubular system.
4. Anatomy of Heart
Location - the heart rests on the diaphargm,near the midline of
thoracic cavity.and generally located in cardiac notch present on
left lung.
Anatomical Regeion - it extends from sternum to vertebral
column,from the 1st rib to diaphargm, and between the lungs.
Weight - weighing about 250g in Adult Females,& 300g in Adult
Males.
Length - It is about 12cm long, and 9cm wide at its broadest
point.
Relation of heart
Superiorly - the aorta,the SVC,Pulmonary Artey & vein
Inferiorly - the diaphargm
Anteriorly - the ribs and the intercostal cartilages & muscles
Posteriorly - the esophegus,trachea, left and right
bronchus,descending aorta,IVC & thoracic vertebrae.
Latrally - the lungs
5. Sulci of the Heart
It is a groove on the outer surface of the heart marking the
division between atria and ventricle
Atrioventricular Sulcus
it contains right and left coronary
artery,& coronary Sinus.
Anterior interventricular sulcus
lies between the left and right ventricle
on the antiror surface, contain left
anterior descending artery & great
cardiac Vein
Posterior interventricular sulcus
lies between the right and left ventricle
contains posterior interventricular artery
& middle cardiac artery.
Auricle Antrior surface of each atrium have a wrinkled
like pouch structure called an Auricle . It is
beause to hold more volume of blood.
6. Coverings of Heart
Pericardium
The heart is enclosed with a double layerd of fibro-serous layer or sac called
Pericardium.
Function:
Prevent overstreching of Heart,
Protectuon of Heart,
Anchors the Heart in Mediastinum
7. Chambers of Heart
The heart has four chambers , the upper are known as atrium and the lower are
known as ventricles.
9. Histology of Artery
It consist three layers
tunica Intima
tunica Media
tunica Adventitia
Tunica intima made up of endothelium and sub
endothelium tissue
Tunica media is thickest layer and consist ofelastic fibers
Vassovassarum present in tunica adventitia
10. Histology of Vein
it has also three layers,
tunica intima
tunica media
tunica adventitia
these tublar organ consist bigger lumen and thin wall
tunica media consist of smooth muscle fibers
