Develop essential medical & clinical skills with expert instruction and practical examples.
Dear Students,In this course, you will explore the fundamentals of the cardiovascular system, focusing on the following key areas:1. Heart Anatomy: - Detailed examination of the heart's structure, including the four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle. - Study of heart valves (tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, and aortic) and their roles in ensuring unidirectional blood flow.
- Identification of major blood vessels: aorta, pulmonary arteries, and veins, and their functions in circulation. 2. Conduction System: - Understanding the electrical conduction pathways that regulate heartbeats and synchronize cardiac activity.
- In-depth exploration of the sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, and Purkinje fibers. - Discussion on the significance of the conduction system in maintaining a normal heart rhythm and responding to physiological demands. 3.
Coronary Circulation: - Exploration of the coronary arteries and their branches, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. - Analysis of how coronary circulation impacts cardiac health and the development of ischemic heart disease. - Discussion on risk factors and prevention strategies for coronary artery disease.
