Cardiovascular Flashcards
The path of blood through the heart
right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary arteries, lungs, heart –> pulmonary veins into left atrium, left ventricle out aorta
Papillary muscle
cone like muscle bundles projecting into the ventricular cavity
chordae tendinae
heart strings, white collagen chords–> cusps to papillary muscles
shape of valves
pocket like
purpose of valves
prevent backward flow, flaps that close
pericardium
membrane around heart, fibrous, double walled
myocardium
contracting cardiac muscle, cardiac muscle cells
endocardium
white sheet of endothelium resting on tissue
function of coronary arteries
deliver blood when heart is relaxed
components of cardiac conduction
SA node, AV node, bundle of HIS, bundle branches, purkinje fibers
SA node
(right atrial wall), impulses 75 times/min
AV node
atrioventricular, between atria and ventricles, prevent backflow to atria
bundle branches
along interventricular septum
purkinje fiber
through interventricular septum, apex, in ventricular walls
PQRST wave- depolarization and repolarization
produced by AV, P wave = atrial depolarization, QRS ventricular depolarisation, T wave ventricular repolarization
action potential in skeletal and heart muscle
2-5 ms –> skeletal, cardiac 200-400 ms
events of cardiac cycle
systole -contract, diastole - relaxation, lub dub, av valves close, short sharp sound
CO- SV x HR
cardiac output = stroke volume x heart rate
stroke volume
volume of blood pumped out of left ventricle during systole
cardiac output
amount of blood heart pumps in 1 min
ejection fraction
amount of blood left ventricle produces each hb, 1/2 –> 3/4
heart rate
beats of your heart per minute
function of extrinsic control mechanisms
- regulate hr, myocaridal contractility, vascular smooth muscle, blood flow distribution. bp
intrinsic control mechanisms
SA node (pacemaker), AV node (impulse), AV bundle (HIS, interatrial), bundle branches ( towards apex), purkinje fibers (turn to ventricular walls)
brain –> adrenal glands/hormones
can tell heart rate to increase, greaten force of heart contractions
