A Gross Anatomical Study of Pulmonary Valve in Human Cadavers
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The knowledge of anatomy of the heart has evolved over the ages and has contributed to the applications of cardio thoracic surgery and in understanding physiology of the various heart related diseases. In this study an attempt has been made to study the anatomy of pulmonary valve in human cadaveric hearts. The anatomy of pulmonary valve was studied by gross examination and dissection of hearts. The range of various parameters along with mean value and standard deviation was calculated. The annular length of the pulmonary valve was in the range of 5.4-7.8 cm with mean of 6.5±0.59cm.The width of right anterior, left anterior and of posterior leaflet was in the range of 1.9-3.1cm with mean of 2.4±0.35, 1.8-3.4cm with mean of 2.5±0.45 and 2.1-3.5 cm with mean of 2.7±0.4 respectively. As a result of such studies, current notions may be so changed and extended so as to understand the better morphologic structures of the heart and to provide a scientific basis for its function.
