Cardio Review Flashcards
When are the AV valves closed?
Systole; during the isovolumetric contraction, reduced ejection, and isovolumetric relaxation
When are the AV valves open?
Diastole; during rapid ventricular filling, diastasis, and atrial systole
What event within the heart causes the AV valves to open? close?
- When atrial pressure is greater than ventricular pressure. Atrial filling leads up to the opening of AV valves
- ventricular pressure is greater than atrial pressure
When are the semilunar valves closed?
Diastole; during the period of isometric relaxation, rapid ventricular filling, diastasis, atrial systole, and isometric contraction
When are the semilunar valves open?
Systole; during the period of rapid and reduced ejection
What event causes the semilunar valves to open? close?
- Increase in ventricular pressure
- Increase in pulmonic and aortic pressure that is greater than ventricular pressure
Are both sets of valves closed during any part of the cycle? If so, when?
Both open? when?
- Yes, during isovolumetric contraction and isometric relaxation
- no
At what point in the cardiac cycle is the pressure in the heart highest? lowest?
- Rapid ejection
- Rapid ventricular filling
What is cardiac output?
The amount of blood pumped per unit of time
What is ejection fraction?
Stroke volume / diastolic volume
What are the phases of the cardiac cycle?
- Atrial systole (systole)
- Isovolumetric contractraction (systole)
- Rapid Ejection (systole)
- Reduced Ejection (systole)
- Isovolumetric Relaxation (diastole)
- Rapid ventricular filling (diastole)
- Diastesis (diastole)
Volume in the lungs at max inflation; sum of VC and RV
Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
TV + IRV + ERV + RV
Volume of air moved into or out of the lugs during quiet breathing
Tidal Volume (VT)
Volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximal exhalation
Residual Volume (RV)
Max volume of air that can be exhaled from the normal end-expiratory position
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
Max volume that can be inhaled from the normal end-inspiratory position
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
