Cardiac output = ? x ?
Heart rate x stroke volume
What is the average resting value for heart rate?
72 bpm
What is the resting value for stroke volume?
70 ml
What is the resting value for caridac output?
5 l/min
A resting heart rate belown 60 bpm is known as?
Bradycardia
Name the 3 stages of the cardiac cycle?
- Atrial systole
- Ventricular systole
- Diastole
Which part of the conduction system generates the electrical impulse?
SA node
The AV node d_____ the electrical impulse by 0.1 seconds
delays
What is the role of the Bundle of His?
Splits electrical impulse into 2
Where do the Bundle Branches carry the electrical impulse to?
base of ventricles
The p________ f______ distribute the electrical impulse through the ventricles causing ventricular systole.
purkinje fibres
Name the 5 venuous return mechanisms?
- Pocket valves
- Smooth muscle
- Muscle pump
- Respiratory pump
- Gravity

What regulates (controls) the vascular shunt mechanism?
VCC (Vasomotor Control Centre)
Where receptors does the VCC receive information from?

80, 20
What controls heart rate regulation?
CCC (Cardiac Control Centre)
