, 1. Heart
Assignment
Study the specimen or model and your book/slides. First, study the external heart and its
relationship to the other structures in the mediastinum:
− apex − coronary sulcus
− right and left atrium − pulmonary trunk
− auricles − ascending aorta
− right and left ventricle − coronary arteries
− interventricular sulcus (anterior − coronary sinus
and posterior)
Questions
1. From which embryonic structure do the right and left auricles develop? And
from which structures does the rest of the right and left atrium develop?
The primitive ventricle forms the left ventricle. The primitive atrium becomes the
anterior portions of both the right and left atria, and the two auricles. The sinus
venosus develops into the posterior portion of the right atrium, the SA node, and
the coronary sinus.
In the fetal heart, the left and right atria communicate via the foramen ovale in the
interatrial septum. Both atria develop from a single primitive atrium. The only
remnant of this in the left atrium is the atrial appendage. The smooth-walled
main cavity of the left atrium develops from the pulmonary veins.
Left = proximal lung veins.
2. What is the clinical relevance of these auricles? What is the effect of the shape
of the auricles on their function?
Collecting blood, a reservoir for extra blood.
Muscular (shape), so: turbulence in the blood flow, blood clots can form.
Assignment
Look at the specimen or model and your book/slides. Study the structures of the internal
heart as far as visible (use an anatomical atlas):
− Right atrium − Left ventricle
o Interatrial septum o Papillary muscles
o Oval Fossa o chordae tendineae
o Tricuspid valve (right o Interventricular septum
atrioventricular valve) − Membranous part
o Pectinate muscles − Muscular part
− Right ventricle Aortic valve (semilunar)
o
o Papillary muscles − Conducting system
o chordae tendineae o Sinoatrial node (SA node,
o Pulmonary valve
pacemaker)
(semilunar)
− Left atrium
