Lab outlines for A & P II

Lab #3, (Ch. 20): Heart

I. Identify tissues from models (or figures):

1. Four chambers:
A. Right atrium (R. A.): or R. auricle
B. Right ventricle (R. V.)
C. Left atrium (L. A.): or L. auricle
D. Left ventricle (L. V.)
2. Interventricular septum:
3. Four valves:
A. Tricuspid valve: R.A. R.V.
B. Pulmonary valve: R.V.  pulmonary trunk (& arteries)
C. Bicuspid (= mitral) valve: L.A.  L.V.
D. Aortic valve: L.V.  Aorta
4. Chordae tendineae:
5. Papillary muscles:
6. Three layers of heart wall:
a. Epicardium: ( or visceral pericardium): outer layer
b. Myocardium: muscular wall , thickest layer
c. Endocardium: inner surfaces (including valves)
7. Base & Apex of heart; moderator band; model of coronary bypasses
8. Superior vena cava
9. Inferior vena cava
10. Coronary sinus, great cardiac vein, R. & L. coronary arteries, circumflex art.,
Anterior & posterior interventricular arteries; 2R & 2L pulmonary veins
11. Fossa ovalis: a remnant site of foramen ovale in fetus (a hole between RA & LA)
12. Aorta; Pulmonary trunk: branches into 2 R & 2 L pulmonary arteries.
13. Ligamentum arteriosum: remnant of ductus arteriosus in fetus.
14. Pericardium: (serous membranes that cover the heart):
a. Parietal pericardium: close to chest wall.
b. Visceral pericardium (= Epicardium): Surface membrane of the heart
15. Coronary sulcus, anterior interventricular sulcus, posterior interventricular sulcus.
16. (Slide): Intercalated discs of cardiac muscles:

II. Know the following terms:

1. Cardiac cycle: systole, diastole
2. EKG: P wave, QRS complex, T wave
3. First and second heart sound

III. Using stethoscope to listen the heart sounds

IV. Using sphygmomanometer & stethoscope to measure blood pressure.
