The cardiovascular system consists of circuits: • Pulmonary circuit provides blood flow between the heart and lungs • Systemic circuit allows blood to flow to and from the rest of the body • Coronary circuit provides blood to the heart The heart valves ensure that blood flows in one direction through the system
the heart’s anatomy and physiology. What is the heart? The heart weighs around 350g and is roughly the size of an adult’s clenched fist. It is enclosed in the mediastinal cavity of the thorax between the lungs, and extends downwards on the left between the second and fifth intercostal space (Fig 1). If one draws an imaginary line from the ...
Comprehensive and state-of-the art, the Handbook of Cardiac Anatomy, Physiology and Devices, Third Edition provides clinicians and biomedical engineers alike with the authoritative information and background they need to work on and implement tomorrow’s generation of life-saving cardiac devices.
Atlas of Cardiac Anatomy includes unpublished and restored iconic photographs from the Wallace A. McAlpine Collection at UCLA and new images from the UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center based on the methods and photographic techniques for the study of cardiac anatomy pioneered by Dr. McAlpine.
Cardiac anatomy is the foundation for cardiac surgery and the prerequisite for modern cardiac imaging. Gaining a thorough understanding of actual pathological specimens of the heart can-not be achieved simply by studying anatomical models or by observing operations. The author
The Muscles of the Heart •The heart has specific muscles that cause the heart to contract and open and close the heart values. Some of these muscles are: •Trabeculae Carneae –Irregular muscles of the ventricles •Chordae Tendineae –Small cords that connect the heart values to the papillary muscles
This book covers the latest information on the anatomic features, underlying physiologic mechanisms, and treatments for diseases of the heart. Key chapters address animal models for cardiac research, cardiac mapping systems, heart-valve disease and genomics-based tools and technology.
