 CARDIAC or CORONARY
• is a muscular organ in most animals, which
pumps blood through the blood vessels of the
circulatory system. Blood provides the body
with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assisting
in the removal of metabolic wastes. In
humans, the heart is located between the lungs,
in the middle compartment of the chest.

CHAMBERS

The heart consists of four chambers:

Atria: the two upper chambers (they receive blood).
Ventricles: the two lower chambers (they discharge blood).
The left atria and left ventricle are separated from the right atria
and right ventricle by a wall of muscle called the septum.

THE WALL OF HEART

The wall of the heart consists of three layers of tissue:

Epicardium — protective layer mostly made of connective tissue.
Myocardium — the muscles of the heart.
Endocardium — lines the inside of the heart and protects the valves
and chambers.
These layers are covered in a thin protective coating called the
pericardium.

circulations
RIGHT
The right atrium receives
deoxygenated blood from
the body through veins
called the superior and
inferior vena cava
The right atrium contracts
and blood passes to the
right ventricle
Once the right ventricle is
full, it contracts and
pumps the blood trough to
the lung via the pulmonary
artery for oxygenated.
LEFT
Newly oxygenated blood
returns to the left atrium
via the pulmonary vein
The left atrium contracts,
pushing blood into the left
ventricle
Once the left ventricle
is full, it contracts and
pushes the blood back
out to the body via
the aorta.
 03
Electrical system
• The pacemaking signal
generated in the sinoatrial
node travels through the
right atrium to the
atrioventricular node, along
the bundle of his and
through bundle brenches to
cause contraction of the
heart muscle. This signal
simulates contraction first
of the right and left atrium
and then the right and left
ventricles.
