AAP Lec 6 cardiovascular Flashcards
fibrous pericardium
outer most layer
Parietal serous pericardium
lines the fibrous percardium
Visceral serous pericardium
also known as epicardium
lines outside of the heart
Endocardium
innermost lining of the heart
Myocardium
thick muscular layer
Pulmonary circuit
carry blood to and from lungs
Systemic circuit
carry blood to and from all over the body
Sequence of heart beat
SA node
AV node
AV bundle
Bundle Branches
Purkinje fibers
Cardiac centers located in?
Medulla oblongata
cardioacceleratory (sympathetic)
innervates SA and AV nodes, heart muscle, and coronary arteries
(heart rate & contraction)
cardioinhibitory (parasympathetic)
inhibits SA and AV nodes in the vagus nerve
lub
beginning of systole, AV valve closes
dub
beginning of diastolic, SL valve closes
ventricular filling (cardiac cycle step 1)
AV valves are open
80% blood moves passively
Atrial systole occurs, delivers remaining 20% of blood
End diastolic volume
Ventricular Systole (cardiac cycle step 2)
Isovolumetric = all valves close
ventricular pressure has to be higher than arterial pressure to push blood
Isovolumetric relaxation (cardiac cycle 3)
ventricle relax
backflow of blood in aorta and pulmonary trunk closes SL valves causes dicrotic notch (brief rise in aortic pressure)
cardiac reserve
difference between resting and maximum cardiac output
stroke volume is regulated by
preload
contractility
afterload
Preload
rubber band effect (increases SV)
bigger the stretch stronger the contraction
Contractility
Increased Ca+ influx due to sympathetic stimulation
stronger contraction = higher SV
