Visit to the general hospital.

Report subject:

This report is made from the visit to the General Hospital, where we were advised by the Professor of Anatomy Doctor Francisco Franco, who carried out the dissection and explanation about the parts of the human heart and how it works, carried out on Friday, July 12 of 2013.

We introduce ourselves to the students in the practice room at 9:00 a.m.

Dr. Francisco Franco was already prepared to give the class, beginning with the dissection of a human heart that an assistant brought him for this purpose.

After placing it properly secured with tweezers on a table, he began the exhibition by mentioning the position of the heart in the body, explaining the anterior sides and posterior of the same, and explaining that the anterior side is called external-costal, and the posterior side is called thoracic, and is located between the 5th and 8th thoracic vertebrae, and that in some people, it is found on the right side of the chest, as well as other organs that are on the opposite side to where it normally is, and this is called situs inversus.

Before beginning the dissection he pointed out to us that the heart he was dissecting was relatively large in size; telling us that it had belonged to a person who had possibly been an athlete or someone who worked a lot physically.

Teaching and explaining to us that the heart is divided visibly (even without having opened it) through a groove called the anterior interventricular, which is formed by the cavity where the anterior interventricular artery is located, which coincides on the inside with the interventricular septum which separates the two ventricles from the heart.

He showed us the left and right atria, which "wrap" on the outside respectively the trunks. venous-arterial corresponding to the thoracic aorta (from which the coronary arteries emerge) the pulmonary artery and the vena cava.

Later he showed us the diaphragmatic side of the heart (without opening the heart yet), showing us and commenting that in the area "Diaphragmatic" of the heart, the left ventricle protrudes and the ventricle protrudes on the sternal side of the heart right.

Later he showed us the "pulmonary" side (the side that is attached to the lungs, belonging to the diaphragmatic side). Then he showed us the coronary arteries emphasizing that they originate in the aorta and are supplied by the aorta itself.

Then he made a cut to open the heart and show us its structure inside;

Opening the heart, he began by cutting the pulmonary artery lengthwise, to show us the sigmoid valves, and He explained that it is, thanks to those valves, that there is no backflow of blood from the heart when the ventricles.

He continued showing us the inside of the heart, making us notice the number of cavities it has inside, which are called fleshy trabeculae; later he showed us the tricuspid and mitral valves, explaining that through them he stops the flow of blood preventing its return to the ventricles during the movement of systole and diastole.

Then the professor showed us (with the heart fully open) the cavities of the two ventricles and the junction that separates them, the interventricular septum.

At the end of the class, he told us that it would be useful for us to buy a heart of cow or pig in the market, so that we could see and analyze with more detail the structure of that organ, because he told us that the heart of these animals have a lot of morphological resemblance to the heart human.

During class some students took some photographs, which are attached to this school report.
