Cardiovascular system part 2 Flashcards
SA node
sinoatrial node
pacemaker
sends signal to aria and AV node to allow blood to pass from atria to ventricles
AV node
atrio-ventricular node
gives rise to AV bundle to purkinjie fibers for ventricular contraction
transmission order of cardiac impulse
SA node atria AV node AV bundle (bundle of his) ventricles
where is the CV control centre located
medulla
what does the CV control centre do
regulates hearts output, distribution of blood, vasomotor tone
what hormones are released by the sympathetic
catecholamine release of epinephrine and norepinephrine
what hormone is released parasympathetic
acetylchonline
the sympathetic nervous system increases?
heart rate
contractility
vasodilation of arterioles of skeletal muscle
vasoconstriction of visceral arterioles
the parasympathetic nervous system decreases?
heart rate
contractility
vasodilation of arterioles of skeletal muscle
vasoconstriction of visceral arterioles
ECG
electrocardiogram measures hearts electrical activity
P wave
atrial depolarization
QRS complex
ventricle depolarization (systole)
T wave
ventricle depolarization (diastole)
increasing end-diastolic volume of the heart will cause what?
stretching of the myocardium,
increases in strength of contraction,
increased volume of blood ejected during systole
in diastole the aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves are?
closed
