EXTERNAL ANATOMY OF THE HEART
  1. THE BASE
    1. There are the blood vessels that carry blood to the heart and also take it out. It is formed by the face posterior to the atria, is convex and transverse direction
    2. THE APEX
      1. Its tip is directed to the left, and corresponds to the left ventricle.
      2. THE INTERATRIAL GROOVE
        1. Separates the two atria and is hidden by pulmonary trunk and aorta in front.
        2. ANTERIOR INTERVENTRICULAR GROOVE
          1. Is situated on the sternocostal surface of the heart, close to its left margin. The anterior interventricular vein arises from the apex of the heart and ascends in the anterior interventricular sulcus.
          2. POSTERIOR INTERVENTRICULAR GROOVE
            1. On the diaphragmatic surface near the right margin; these grooves extend from the base of the ventricular portion to a notch, the incisura apicis cordis, on the acute margin of the heart just to the right of the apex. The posterior interventricular branch of the right coronary artery runs through this groove.
            2. ATRIOVENTRICULAR GROOVE
              1. It is the one that marks the separation of the atria and ventricles, it is more vertical than horizontal and houses the coronary arteries. These form a circle or arterial crown from which branches are distributed over the entire surface of the heart.
              2. THE RIGHT ATRIUM
                1. THE RIGHT VENTRICLE
                  1. The structure of the ventricles is similar. The difference is in the thickness of the layer muscular. While the right ventricle has a thickness of 3-4 mm, the left one reaches approximately the 10mm. This difference is due to the fact that, when expelling blood during systole, the left ventricle is with a higher resistance: blood pressure.
                  2. THE LEFT ATRIUM
                    1. This have thin walls and are made from outside to inside, by the pericardium, the inner layer or myocardium and a very thin layer or endocardium. This last covers the entire internal surface of the heart, including the valves, and is formed by a layer of endothelial cells, similar to those of blood vessels, and fibers collagen and elastic.
                    2. THE LEFT VENTRICLE
                      1. The Superior vena cava
                        1. The superior vena cava is one of the two most important veins in the human body. It is a large-caliber venous trunk or vein that collects blood from the head, neck, upper limbs, and chest. It begins at the junction of the two brachiocephalic veins, passes directly downwards, and empties into the right atrium. It returns blood from all structures above the diaphragm muscle except the lungs and heart.
                        2. The Aorta Artery
                          1. The aorta is the main artery in the human body, measuring an average of 2.5 cm in diameter in adults. It originates in the left ventricle of the heart, its initial trajectory is ascending, later it forms an arch called the aortic arch and descends through the thorax until it reaches the abdomen, where it divides into the 2 common iliac that go to the lower limbs. and distributes oxygen-rich blood and gives rise to all the arteries of the circulatory system except the pulmonary arteries that originate in the right ventricle of the heart.
                          2. Inferior vena cava
                            1. The inferior vena cava is a large caliber venous trunk or vein in the human body and other mammals, which returns blood from the lower limbs, the organs of the abdomen and the pelvis to the right atrium of the heart. It is the satellite vein of the abdominal aorta and brings together the venous return of all the infradiaphragmatic veins.
                            2. The arrival of the pulmonary veins to the Left atrium
                              1. The pulmonary veins are the set of veins responsible for transporting blood from the lungs to the heart. These are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. The pulmonary veins originate from the capillary networks of the pulmonary lobules and the last bronchial divisions. Through them, oxygenated blood from the lung is transported to the heart, emptying into the upper portion of the left atrium.
                              2. The Pulmonary Artery
                                1. The pulmonary artery begins in the right ventricle of the heart, and then divides in two to go to each lung, where it divides into numerous branches. The role of the pulmonary artery is to transport blood, devoid of oxygen, from the heart to the lungs. Pulmonary embolisms can be observed at the level of the pulmonary artery, that is, it is obstructed by a clot that stops blood circulation.
