CARDIO – VASCULAR
SYSTEM
C.V.S
HEART BLOOD
VESSELS
Arteries Veins
(Cor, cordis)
 Cone shaped, muscular organ.
 Weight = 250 – 350 gm.
 Located in the middle mediastinum
 Four chambers: two atria, two ventricles
 Both ventricles – double pump
 Responsible for blood circulation
THE HEART
HEART POSITION IN THE THORAX
From 2nd rib – 5th I/C space
Apex – 1 cm inside to left mid clavicular line
Chest X RAY:
Male X Ray
Female X Ray
Note location of the heart
Layers of the heart:
1. Pericardium
2. Myocardium
3. Endocardium
(Heart muscle is in between outer and inner layers)
Fibrous
Serous
(Visceral = Epicardium)
Development of pericardium around the heart
The Pericardium:
MYOCARDIUM:
Middle layer of the heart.
Thickness:
Atria = 2 – 3 mm.
Right ventricle = 4 – 6 mm.
Left ventricle = 11 – 14 mm.
Insertion: Fibrous skeleton of the heart
MYOCARDIUM
Myocardium :
In atria: Pectinate muscles
In ventricles: Papillary muscles
3 Papillary muscles in the RV (attaches to the
tricuspid valve cusps).
 2 Papillary muscles in the LV ( attaches to the
bicuspid value cusps.

ENDOCARDIUM:
•Inner layer of the heart.
•Covers hart chambers from inside.
•Formed by endothelia.
•Participates in the formation of heart valves.

NODES:
1. Sino – Atrial node (S.A Node)
(Self generating Pacemaker)
2. Atrio – Ventricular node (A.V Node)
(generate impulse when S.A node fails)
