CHECKLIST OF PARTS OF THE HEART Base Apex Anterior/Posterior Left/Right

Anterior Tricuspid or right Atrio-ventricular valve Circumflex branch of interventricular sulcus atrio-ventricular valve flap left coronary artery Right auricle Left auricle Right atrium Left atrium Right ventricle Left ventricle Superior vena cava Inferior vena cava Pulmonary semilunar valve Pulmonary trunk Pulmonary arteries Pulmonary veins Bicuspid or left atrioventricular valve Aortic semilunar valve Aorta Semilunar valve flap Chordae tendinae Papillary muscles Anterior interventricular artery Posterior interventricular artery

Epicardium or visceral Sino-atrial node pericardium Endocardium Myocardium Interventricular septum Interatrial septum Right and left coronary arteries (origin on aorta) Atrio-ventricular node Atrio-ventricular bundle Bundle of His Rt/Lt Bundle Branches Purkinje Fibers T.Q. Above Bold on Large Heart Model Only!

If you had a string that passes through the vena cava to the pulmonary artery, could you name the structures it crosses? If you had a string at the pulmonary vein could you name the structures it crosses over prior to exiting the heart at the aorta? TIP: Whenever you pick up a heart, model or other, look for the anterior sulcus (large gunsight-like groove). This will be the anterior aspect of the heart, so now you know the left and right sides. You can also identify where the great vessels enter and leave, this is called the superior end or the base and the inferior en d called the apex is its opposite.
