SPECIAL NOTES:-
SUPERIORLY:- the great blood vessels,i.e. the aorta, superior vena cava,pulmonary artery and pulmonary
veins.
POSTERIORLY:- the oesophagus ,trachea,left and right bronchus, descending aorta,inferior venacava and
thoracic vertebrae.
LATERALLY:- The lungs the left lung overlaps the left side of the heart.
STRUCTURE:- The heart is com posed ofr three layers of tissue pericarium, myocardium, and
endocardium.
Epicardium/pericardium. The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart wall and is just another
name for the visceral layer of the pericardium. Thus, the epicardium is a thin layer of serous
membrane that helps to lubricate and protect the outside of the heart. Below the epicardium is the
second, thicker layer of the heart wall: the myocardium.
Myocardium. The myocardium is the muscular middle layer of the heart wall that contains the
cardiac muscle tissue. Myocardium makes up the majority of the thickness and mass of the heart
wall and is the part of the heart responsible for pumping blood. Below the myocardium is the thin
endocardium layer.
Endocardium. Endocardium is the simple squamous endothelium layer that lines the inside of the
heart. The endocardium is very smooth and is responsible for keeping blood from sticking to the
inside of the heart and forming potentially deadly blood clots.
Atrioventricular valves. The atrioventricular (AV) valves are located in the middle of the heart
between the atria and ventricles and only allow blood to flow from the atria into the ventricles. The
AV valve on the right side of the heart is called the tricuspid valve because it is made of three
cusps (flaps) that separate to allow blood to pass through and connect to block regurgitation of
blood. The AV valve on the left side of the heart is called the mitral valve or the bicuspid valve
because it has two cusps. The AV valves are attached on the ventricular side to tough strings called
chordae tendineae. The chordae tendineae pull on the AV valves to keep them from folding
backwards and allowing blood to regurgitate past them. During the contraction of the ventricles,
the AV valves look like domed parachutes with the chordae tendineae acting as the ropes holding
the parachutes taut.
Semilunar valves. The semilunar valves, so named for the crescent moon shape of their cusps, are
located between the ventricles and the arteries that carry blood away from the heart. The semilunar
valve on the right side of the heart is the pulmonary valve, so named because it prevents the
backflow of blood from the pulmonary trunk into the right ventricle. The semilunar valve on the left
side of the heart is the aortic valve, named for the fact that it prevents the aorta from
regurgitating blood back into the left ventricle. The semilunar valves are smaller than the AV valves
and do not have chordae tendineae to hold them in place. Instead, the cusps of the semilunar

As my patient was in the risk for infection, I applied Florence nightingale theory on providing care,
Nightingale believed that the environment could be altered to improve conditions so that the
natural laws would allow healing to occur.
This grew from empirical observation that poor or difficult environments led to poor health
and disease.
She linked health with five environmental factors
