Q

Describe the innervation of the heart

A
  1. Cardioregulatory centre & chemoreceptors -> medulla oblongata
    Via -> Sensory Nerve Fibres
    -» Baroreceptors -> wall of internal carotid artery
    -» Carotid body chemoreceptors
    -» Baroreceptors -> Aorta
  2. Adrenal Medulla
    i) Via -> Parasympathetic nerve fibres
    -» Sinoatrial (SA) Node
    ii) Via -> Sympathetic nerve fibres
    -» Heart
  3. Adrenal Medulla
    Via -> Sympathetic nerve fibres -> adrenal gland
    >Release adrenaline/noradrenaline -> circulation
    -»Heart

Q

What is a negative chronotropic effect? Give an example & describe how it is carried out.

A 
	Negative chronotropic effect:
       Slows Heart Rate
      Eg. Acetlycholine 
      ->> Via positive end -> muscarinic (ACh)-receptor gated K-channels
          Component of ‘vagal tone’

Q

What is a positive chronotropic effect? Give an example & describe how it is carried out.

A

 Positive chronotropic effect:
 Increase Heart Rate
Eg. Noradrenaline & adrenaline
-» Via stimulation -> hyperpolarisation-activated ion channels

17
Q

What is bradycardia?

A

 Bradycardia:

 Chronotrophic effect which slows heart rate under pathological conditions.

18
Q

What is tachycardia?

A

 Tachycardia:

 Chronotropic effect which incr. heart rate under pathological conditions.

19
Q

Describe the characteristics of an average adult heart rate

A

• Adult Heart rate:
- 60-80 (-100) bpm
- Very little / no sympathetic cardiac activity
- At rest -> SAN Node considered under high vagal tone
Slows inherent heart rate of ~110 bpm

20
Q

What is the end-diastolic volume?

A

• End-Diastolic Volume:

 Volume of blood in ventricle at end of loading / filling

21
Q

What is the end-systolic volume?

A

• End-Systolic Volume:

 Volume of blood in ventricle at end pf contraction (systole)

22
Q

What is the equation for calculation of stroke volume using EDV & ESV?

A

• Stroke Volume = ( End-Diastolic Volume ) – ( End-Systolic Volume )

23
Q

Describe characteristics of ventricular filling

A

• Ventricular filling:
 Relies -> atrial filling
-> Determined ->Venous return of blood.
 Incr. rate of ventricular filling
-> incr. stroke volume
Incr. EDV
-> incr. initial length / stretch -> cardiac muscle fibres
-» incr. stroke volume & cardiac output

24
Q

State the Frank-Starling Law of the Heart

A

• Frank-Starling Law of the Heart:

 The force / tension developed in a muscle fibre depends -> extent to which fibre stretched.

25
Q

Name the factors affecting Venous Return / Central Venous Pressure

A

Posture
Muscle pump
Respiratory pump

26
Q

Describe how posture affects venous return / central venous pressure

A
  1. Posture:
    - Blood volume influenced by gravity -> posture.
    - Standing  venous pooling in legs
    »Decr. venous return.
27
Q

Describe how the muscle pump affects venous return / central venous pressure

A
  1. Muscle pump:
    - Venomotor tone involving constriction -> veins -> skeletal muscles.
    - Venous return facilitated -> valves
    »Prevent backflow of blood
28
Q

Describe how the respiratory pump affects venous return / central venous pressure

A
  1. Respiratory Pump:
    - Inspiration creates internal pressure difference by lowering intra-thoracic pressure & incr. intra-abdominal pressure.
