Cardiovascular System Part 2: Coronary circulation Flashcards
Blood Flow and Blood Supply of the Heart
Blood flows through the heart from areas of
Areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
The movement of blood through the heart is controlled by the ?
opening and closing of the valves, and the contraction and relaxation of the myocardium muscle.
The flow of blood through the numerous vessels in the myocardium is called?
coronary circulation
The principal coronary vessels are the?
left and right coronary arteries
the left and right coronary arteries, also known as?
as branches of the ascending aorta.
Each artery branches and then branches again to deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the ?
heart muscle
deoxygenated blood, which carries carbon dioxide and wastes, is collected by a large vein on the posterior surface of the heart called? empties into?
coronary sinus; empties into right atrium

consists of specialized cardiac muscle tissue that makes and sends out action potentials
Conduction system
located in the right atrial wall, begins cardiac excitation.
Step__
aka?
- The sinoatrial (SA) node
known as; pacemaker of heart
located in the interatrial septum; step__,
Function?
- atrioventricular (AV) node,
action potential slows considerably, providing time for the atria to empty their blood into the ventricles
- atrioventricular (AV) bundle; aka?
- bundle of HIS; From the AV node, the action potential enters the atrioventricular (AV) bundle in intravascular system
- ONLY site that can conduct from the atria to the ventricles.
AV bundle
- After conducting through the AV bundle, the action potential then enters both the right and left
- bundle branches that move through the interventricular septum toward the apex of the heart.
- rapidly conduct the action potential,
- parkinje fibers ; rapidly conduct the action potential

recording of the electrical changes that accompany the heartbeat is called an
electrocardiogram, which is abbreviated as either ECG or EKG
3 waves
P, QRS, T wave
is a small upward deflection on the ECG; it represents _______ depolarization.
- P wave; reps: atrial depolarization
Causes contraction
- Depolarization; atria contracts
Which complex represents the onset of ventricular depolarization when the ventricles start to contract?
- QRS complex
a dome-shaped upward deflection that indicates ventricular repolarization and occurs just before the ventricles start to relax .
Which complex?
- The T wave complex
Includes all of the events associated with one heartbeat.
Cardiac Cycle
What happens in normal cardia cycle?
the two atria contract while the two ventricles __RELAX_______; then, while the two ventricles contract, the two atria __relax_____.
Term refers to the phase of contraction:
Systole
Diastole =
Relaxation
A cardiac cycle consists of systole and diastole of both atria plus systole and diastole of both ventricles.
-T/F?
True
Cardiac cycle three phases:
- Relaxation period
- Atrial systole
- Ventricular systole
begins at the ENDS of a cardiac cycle when the ventricles start to relax and all four chambers are in diastole
- Relaxation period
Atrial systole:
- Contraction of atria
Ventricular systole:
- Contraction of ventricles
Sound of the heartbeat comes primarily from the closure of the valves:
Heart sounds
is a long, booming sound from the AV valves closing after ventricular systole begins.
Lubb- known as first sound
TWO AV VALVES ARE:
TRICUSPID AND BICUSPID
The second sound, a short, sharp sound known as? From?
Dupp: from semilunar valves closing
VOLUME of blood ejected per minute from the left ventricle into the AORTA is called?
Cardiac output
Cardiac output determined by:
- Stroke Volume
- Heart Rate
Three factors regulate stroke volume:
- The degree of stretch:
Frank- Sterling Law - The forcefulness of contraction
- The pressure required to eject blood ( more-slide 57)
Autonomic Regulation of Heart Rate - the “nervous system regulation” of the heart originates in the cardiovascular (CV) center in
Medulla Oblongata
Other heart regulators include
the cardiac accelerator nerves, vagus (X) nerves, baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors
Other Factors in Heart Rate Regulation
age, gender, physical fitness, and body temp
Increased body temperature (fever or strenuous exercise) increase OR decrease heart rate?
increase
Decreased body temperature decreases OR increases heart rate ?
Decreases
