Question
Answer
Apex:   Located at the fifth intercostal space at the midclavicular line; this represents the tip of the left ventricle.  
🗑
Base:   Located at the second intercostal space behind the sternum on the posterior aspect of the heart; it lies adjacent to the vertebral bodies of T6 through T9.  
🗑
Endocardium:   A thin layer of tissue that lines the inside surface of the heart and valves.  
🗑
Epicardium:   The outer layer of the cardiac wall that covers the surface to protect against trauma or infection  
🗑
Myocardium:   The thick layer of muscle of the heart that provides the pumping force for the ventricles.  
🗑
Pericardium:   A double-walled connective tissue sac (fibrous layer and serous layer) that surrounds the heart and protects it from trauma or infection.  
🗑
Right atrium   Receives venous blood from the superior and inferior vena cava.  
🗑
Right ventricle:   Receives venous blood from the right atrium through the tricuspid valve. Pushes blood into the pulmonary artery and pulmonary circulation.  
🗑
Left atrium   Receives arterial blood from the pulmonary veins.  
🗑
Left ventricle   Receives blood from the left atrium. Pushes blood into the aorta and the systemic cir culation.  
🗑
Tricuspid valve:   Prevents right ventricular blood from going back into the right atrium.  
🗑
Pulmonic valve:   Prevents blood from returning to the right ventricle  
🗑
Mitral valve   Prevents left ventricular blood from returning to the left atrium.  
🗑
Aortic valve   Prevents the systemic blood from returning to the left ventricle  
🗑
Atrioventricular valves   Blood from each atria flows to each ventricle through these valves. The valves close upon ventricular contraction to avoid backflow.  
🗑
Semilunar valves   Blood from each ventricle flows out of the heart through these valves. The valves close upon the subsequent diastole to avoid backflow of the blood into the heart  
🗑
Aorta   Largest artery which carries the total cardiac output. Divisions include the carotids, subclavians, and descending aorta.  
🗑
Ascending aorta   provides blood to the head, neck, and arms  
🗑
Descending aorta   provides blood to the lower body and visceral tissues  
🗑
Superior vena cava   The primary vein that drains venous blood from the head, neck, and upper body into the right atrium.  
🗑
Inferior vena cava   The primary vein that drains venous blood from the lower body and viscera into the right atrium  
🗑
Pulmonary artery   he primary artery that carries blood to the lungs from the right ventricle  
🗑
