18
Q

Describe the system in phase 2 (isovolumetric contraction)

A

closed

19
Q

Why does the AV valve close during phase 2 (iso contraction)

A

increased ventricle pressure

20
Q

Describe the pressure in the ventricles during phase 2 (isovol contraction)

A

ventricles contract so ventricle pressure increases

21
Q

Describe the movement of blood during phase 2 (isovol contraction)

A

NO movement!!!!

22
Q

What is the end systolic volume typically at rest

A

50mls

23
Q

What is the end systolic volume?

A

ventricles are never empty, remaining volume

24
Q

Describe the changes in the ventricle during phase 3 (outflow)

A

ventricle pressure is increasing, ventricle blood volume decreases

25
Q

Describe the movement of blood during phase 3 (outflow)

A

blood moves out ventricle into aorta

26
Q

What valve is opened at the end of phase 2 (isovol contraction)

A

aortic semi lunar valve

27
Q

Describe the aortic pressure during phase 3 outflow

A

increases

28
Q

Describe the changes to the atria during phase 3 (outflow)

A

Atria fill with blood and pressure rises

29
Q

Describe blood flow during phase 4 (isovol relaxation)

A

no blood flow

30
Q

Which phases have no change in blood volume

A

2 and 4

31
Q

What causes the semi lunar valve to close

A

back flow of blood

32
Q

Describe ventricle changes during phase 4 (isovol relaxation)

A

no volume changes, muscles relax, pressure decreases

33
Q

What valves are open during phase 4

A

none

34
Q

What is the last part of the cardiac cycle

A

early phase 1 inflow

35
Q

Describe blood flow during early phase 1 inflow phase

A

blood moves into ventricles from atria

36
Q

Describe ventricle pressure in early phase 1 inflow

A

drops slightly below atrial pressure

37
Q

What valve opens during early phase 1 inflow

A

mitral valve

38
Q

Describe the volume changes in the ventricle during early phase 1 inflow

A

large increase in volume, hydrostatic pressure generated

39
Q

Describe atrial pressure during early phase 1 inflow

A

rises due to inflow of blood larger than outflow

40
Q

What is the P wave associated with

A

atrial contraction

41
Q

What is the QRS complex associated with

A

ventricular contraction

42
Q

What is the T wave associated with

A

ventricular relaxation

43
Q

What is reduced in heart failure

A

ejection fractions
