Where is the crista supraventricularis?
right ventricle
Crista supraventricularis is a muscular ridge within the right ventricle of the heart. It is located between the tricuspid and pulmonic valves, at the junction of the right ventricular anterior (free) wall and the interventricular septum.
What is the function of the supraventricular crest?
The supraventricular crest is a fleshy trabecula of the right ventricle that has an important function in guiding the blood flow.
What is supraventricular crest?
The supraventricular crest known by its various names is a distinct muscular structure in the normal right ventricle connecting the upper part of the septum to the parietal wall. Its arrangement is disturbed in hearts with tetralogy of Fallot resulting in different names given to its parts.
What is Infundibular septum?
The infundibulum (also known as conus arteriosus) is a conical pouch formed from the upper and left angle of the right ventricle in the chordate heart, from which the pulmonary trunk arises. It develops from the bulbus cordis. The wall of the infundibulum is smooth.
What does the Trabeculae Carneae do?
The trabeculae carneae also serve a function similar to that of papillary muscles in that their contraction pulls on the chordae tendineae, preventing inversion of the mitral (bicuspid) and tricuspid valves towards the atrial chambers, which would lead to subsequent leakage of the blood into the atria.
What is left right ventricle?
The left ventricle is one of four chambers of the heart. The left ventricle is the thickest of the heart’s chambers and is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to tissues all over the body. By contrast, the right ventricle solely pumps blood to the lungs.
What is the most common VSD?
Type 2: (membranous) This VSD is, by far the most common type, accounting for 80% of all defects. It is located in the membranous septum inferior to the crista supraventricularis. It often involves the muscular septum when it is commonly known as perimembranous.
What do the endocardial cushions form?
The endocardial cushions are two thicker areas that develop into the walls (septum) that divide the four chambers of the heart. They also form the mitral and tricuspid valves. These are the valves that separate the atria (top collecting chambers) from the ventricles (bottom pumping chambers).
Why is triangle of Koch important?
Koch’s triangle is an important area of human heart, which is located in the superficial paraseptal endocardium of the right atrium, used as an anatomical landmark to locate the atrioventricular (AV) node.
