Cardio midterm Flashcards
T or F
the ventricles and atria contract at the same time
f
atria together, ventricles together
T or f
the mitral valve and pulmonary valve are exit pathways for blood from the ventricles.
F
mitral valve is an AV valve
What is normal EDV?
120 ml
What is normal stroke volume?
70 ml
What is normal end systolic volume? ESV
50 ml
During ejection the pressure in the ventricles rises to?
120 mmHg
Before isometric contraction what is aortic blood pressure?
80 mmHG
What are the phases of systole?
- isometric contraction
2. ejection
What are the phases of diastole?
- isometric relaxation
- rapid inflow
- slow inflow
- atrial systole
The right ventricle sends blood to the?
pulmonary circulation
The left ventricle sends blood to the?
systemic circulation
T or F
Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle.
T
What creates the difference between skeletal and cardiac muscle?
action potential, potassium permeability
Cardiac muscle contains fast sodium channels, just like skeletal muscle, but also contain _______
slow calcium channels, causing plateau of the action potential
When ventricular pressure rises ventricular volume ______
decreases
What causes the A-V valves to open?
After systole the pressure in the ventricles is lower than in the atria causing them to open.
During ejection the ventricular pressure rises to just above _______ alowing opening of the semilunar valves.
80 mmHG
