  2. Insular cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_cortex

    The insular cortex is divided by the central sulcus of the insula, into two parts: the anterior insula and the posterior insula in which more than a dozen field areas have been identified. The cortical area overlying the insula toward the lateral surface of the brain is the operculum (meaning lid). The opercula are formed from parts of the ...

  3. Posterior interventricular sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_interventricular...

    They can be known as subsinosal interventricular groove or paraconal interventricular groove respectively. It is located on the diaphragmatic surface of the heart [1] [2] near the right margin. [2] It extends between the coronary sulcus and the (notch of [2]) apex of the heart. It contains the posterior interventricular artery and middle ...

  4. Crux cordis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crux_cordis

    The crux cordis or crux of the heart (from Latin "crux" meaning "cross") is the area on the lower back side of the heart where the coronary sulcus (the groove separating the atria from the ventricles) and the posterior interventricular sulcus (the groove separating the left from the right ventricle) meet. [1]

  5. Interoception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interoception

    The posterior insular cortex is granular, the mid insular cortex is dysgranular (or slightly granulated) and the anterior insular cortex has no granulation whatsoever. The insula contains three major subregions defined by the presence or absence of a granule cell layer: granular , dysgranular (slightly granulated) agranular .

  6. Posterior descending artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_descending_artery

    In the coronary circulation, the posterior descending artery (PDA), also called the posterior interventricular artery (PIV, PIA, or PIVA), is an artery running in the posterior interventricular sulcus to the apex of the heart where it meets with the left anterior descending artery also known as the anterior interventricular artery.

  7. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    Cardiac physiology or heart function is the study of healthy, unimpaired function of the heart: involving blood flow; myocardium structure; the electrical conduction system of the heart; the cardiac cycle and cardiac output and how these interact and depend on one another.

  8. Coronary sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_sulcus

    The right coronary sulcus begins anteriorly and superiorly on the sternocostal surface of the heart. Its position is marked by the location of the right coronary artery, and small cardiac vein. The right coronary sulcus separates the right atrium and its atrial appendage from the right ventricle inferiorly. The right coronary sulcus then passes ...

  9. Notch of cardiac apex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notch_of_cardiac_apex

    The anterior interventricular sulcus and posterior interventricular sulcus extend from the base of the ventricular portion to a notch, the notch of cardiac apex, (or incisura apicis cordis) on the acute margin of the heart just to the right of the apex.
