Acute pericarditis
myocardium
Fibrous pericardium
Right ventricle
Chordae tendineae
Mitral valve
Heart wall
endocardium
Fibrous skeleton
Serous pericardium
Chronic pericarditis
Left atrioventricular valve
made of cardiac muscle
pumps blood to lungs via the pulmonary artery
has 2 layers (thin outside visceral layer of serous pericardium made of mesothelium), inside made of delicate fibroelastic tissue and adipose tissue
Tendons that hold AV valves. They connect to papillary muscles.
pouches on anterior surface of atrium that increases capacity of atrium to hold more blood
Right atrioventricular valve
tough, non elastic, made of dense irregular connective tissue and anchors heart to mediastinum
accumulation of pericardial fluid in heart wall that affects heart filling with blood, heart output and cause low blood pressure
also called epicardium
thin layer of endothelium thin layer of endothelium
found in inside of right atrium, that extend into auricle
thin, delicate double layer around heart with outer parietal and inner visceral layers
4 rings that are fused and support the 4 heart valves and prevent overstretching and separate flow of electrical impulses
sometimes caused by viral infection
has 3 layers epicardium, myocardium and endocardium
has a thicker wall, and pumps blood through aorta to all over the body
