Pericardium – a double-walled sac around the heart
composed of:
A superficial fibrous pericardium
A deep two-layer serous pericardium
The parietal layer lines the internal surface of
the fibrous pericardium
The visceral layer or epicardium lines the
surface of the heart
They are separated by the fluid-filled pericardial
cavity

The pericardium:
Protects and anchors the heart
Prevents overfilling of the heart with blood
Allows for the heart to work in a relatively friction-
free environment

pericardium

the heart
Branching muscle cells arranged in bundles
Provides support for great vessels and valves
Directs spread of action potentials across heart
Fibrous skeleton of the heart – crisscrossing, interlacing
layer of connective tissue, insulation, supports great vessels
Endocardium – endothelial layer of the inner myocardial
surface; continuous with vessels leaving and entering the
heart

Atria are the receiving chambers of the heart
Each atrium has a protruding auricle
Pectinate muscles mark atrial walls
Blood enters right atria from superior and inferior
venae cavae and coronary sinus
Blood enters left atria from pulmonary veins

- 18. Ventricles of the Heart
Ventricles are the discharging chambers of the
heart
Papillary muscles and trabeculae carneae muscles

to the heart muscle itself

- 26. Coronary circulation
• many anastomoses, which provide alternate routes for nourishment if a
given artery begins to be occluded - but total occlusion means ????
(1) actively deliver blood when heart is relaxed
(2) largely ineffective when ventricles contracting because??
• heart ~1/200 of body but requires ~1/20 of blood supply (esp. left ventricle)
Coronary venous supply:
from capillaries → cardiac veins (great,
middle & small) → coronary sinus →
right atrium
also some anterior cardiac veins →
directly into right atrium anteriorly

- 29. Heart Valves
Heart valves ensure unidirectional blood flow
through the heart
Atrioventricular (AV) valves lie between the atria
and the ventricles
AV valves prevent backflow into the atria when
ventricles contract
Chordae tendineae anchor AV valves to papillary
muscles
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
- 30. Heart Valves
Aortic semilunar valve lies between the left
ventricle and the aorta
Pulmonary semilunar valve lies between the right
ventricle and pulmonary trunk
Semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into
the ventricles
No valves for vena cavae and pulmonary veins!

- 35. Microscopic Anatomy of Heart Muscle
Cardiac muscle is striated, short, fat, branched, and
interconnected
The connective tissue endomysium acts as both
tendon and insertion
Intercalated discs anchor cardiac cells together and
allow free passage of ions
Heart muscle behaves as a functional syncytium
