cardiopulm midterm (first half) Flashcards
what is the cardiac cycle
the period b/w the start of one heartbeat and the beginning of the next
what does the cardiac cycle include
diastole (filling phase)
systole (pressure development and ejection phase)
how many seconds is impulse delayed going from SA to AV node
0.1 s
what does the delay b/w SA and AV node allow the heart to do
allows the atria to contract and pump an additional volume of blood into the ventricles
atrial kick
atrial kick
the last 20% of blood ejected into the ventricle
what does atrial kick result in
right and left ventricle end diastolic pressure
depolarization
contraction (systole)
repolarization
relaxation (diastole)
at rest approx ____% of ventricular filling occurs before the _____ contracts
80%
atria
isovolumetric contraction
phase in systole where aortic pressure remains high
aortic valve remains closed
ventricles does not empty despite contraction
amount of blood remaining in each ventricle at the end of ventricular ejection phase is normally about
35%
when ventricular pressure exceeds aortic pressure
aortic valve opening
ventricular ejection begins
blood is fully ejected from the ventricles after systole
false
how much blood is ejected from the ventricles after a contraction –> normal heart
65%
end systolic volume
amount of blood remaining after ejection
end diastolic volume
amount of blood in the ventricles just prior to systole
EDV is directly proportional to _______, when?
force of contraction
during ventricular systole
purpose of the EDV
stretch the wall to optimal range
to have a good ejection fraction
normal ejection fraction of the heart
65%
100% of blood comes in, 65% goes out
in normal ejection fraction, how much blood remains in the heart
35%
cardiac output
volume of blood ejected by the ventricle in 1 min
CO =
HR x SV
stroke volume
volume ejected from each ventricle w/ one systolic contraction
preload
amount of tension in the ventricles before they contract
described by EDV
