Cardiac cycle 1 Flashcards
What occurs during P wave?
Depolarisation of SAN
Ventricles relax
Mitral valve open
What occurs after P wave?
Atrial contraction
LA empties into LV- pressure of LA lowers
LV fills up with blood but dilates- pressure lower than LA
Prevents blood from going back into LA
How long does QRS complex last?
80-120 ms
What occurs during QRS complex?
1) Blood fills LV
2) Mitral valve closes as LV gets full, aortic valve closed
3) Isovolumic contraction begins- same volume but pressure increases
4) Volume squeezed- creates pressure of 120mmHG
5) Contraction allows aortic valve to open
6) Pressure is lower aorta than LV pressure so blood empty into
aorta at high speed
7) When blood ejected into aorta end isovolumic contraction
- Volume not same
- Isovolumic contraction then ejection
What point does mitral valve close?
QRS complex
What contraction occurs Left Ventricle during QRS complex?
What pressure?
120mmHG
Isovolumetric contraction- same vol, diff pressure
What point does aortic valve open?
QRS complex
What occurs during T wave?
Repolarisation of ventricle
Ventricles contracting- ejection decreases- fall pressure
ATP hydrolysis breaks bond Ca2+ and TnC
Muscles relax
Pressure drops 80mmHG
Aortic valve closes
25% volume left in LV
Isovolumic relaxation- until pressure 0mmHg
What does pressure drop to during T wave?
80mmGH
What does the P wave represent?
Atrial depolarisation
What does QRS complex represent?
Ventricle depolarisation
What does the T wave represent?
Ventricle repolarisation
What does the PR interval represent?
Start atrial contraction
Ends beginning ventricle depolarisation
What does ST segment represent?
Ventricles relaxing (repolarising)
When does ventricular systole occur?
QRS complex
What represents atrial depolarisation?
P wave
What represents depolarisation of R and L ventricles?
QRS
What does the P wave represent?
Depolarisation of atria
