PhD., Acting Associate Professor P.T. Jolueva conducted an open problem-based
lecture in the discipline Normal Anatomy on April 17, 2026, at 11:30, in room 403, for group LD-
6-25, on the topic: “The Heart: Structure and Topography in the Thoracic Cavity. The
Valvular Apparatus of the Heart - Semilunar and Atrioventricular Valves. Blood Supply of
the Heart”.
The lecture covered the following topics: the external and internal structure of the heart
(chambers, walls, septa); the topography of the heart in the mediastinum, its boundaries and
projection onto the chest wall; the structure and function of the heart valves (atrioventricular -
mitral and tricuspid, and semilunar - aortic and pulmonary), and their role in ensuring
unidirectional blood flow; coronary circulation, sources of blood supply to the heart (coronary
arteries), and venous drainage.
Particular attention was paid to the clinical significance of cardiac anatomy, including
valvular disorders, coronary heart disease, and their relationship to the characteristics of blood
supply.
The practical part of the problem-based lecture included reinforcing theoretical knowledge
through practice-oriented tasks and the analysis of clinical cases. During the session, students
worked with heart models and specimens, identifying its parts, valves, and vessels; studied cardiac
topography using the “Pirogov table”; and completed situational tasks and self-check test
questions.
The lecture was aimed at developing students’ ability to apply anatomical knowledge in
clinical practice and fostering clinical thinking
