Cardiovascular System 5 Flashcards
– Is a reoccurring sequence of mechanical electrical events during a single heartbeat
The cardiac cycle
— Is the relaxation of the heart chamber While — is the contraction of the heart chamber?
-Diastolic
- Systole
A graphic record of heart activity measured via electrode placed on the skin
ElectroCardiogram
The atrial will be repolarizing when the ventricles are contracting, true or false?
True
— measures the sound produced by the heart or valves
Phonocardiogram
Phases of the cardiac cycle
- Ventricular filling
- Atrial systole
- Isovolumetric contraction
- Ventricular ejection
- Isovolumetric relaxation
The lub sound occurs in the — phase while the dub sound occurs in the — phase
- Isovolumetric contraction
- Isovolumetric relaxation
How to measure a cardiac output
Stroke volume x heart rate
How to measure a stroke volume
End diastolic volume - end systolic volume
— is the measure of the amount of blood pumped by the heart every minute while — is the amount of blood ejected from the heart in the single contraction?
- cardiac output (The average cardiac output is 5 L of blood pumped by the heart per minute)
- stroke volume (roughly on an average of 70 mL)
The process in which the autonomic nervous system affect the timing of the heart rate is known as the?
Chronotropic effects
The sympathetic nervous system increases the heart rate, while the parasympathetic nervous system decreases the heart rate
True
