cardiovascular unit 6 lessons Flashcards
stoke volume equation
stroke volume= EDS- ESV
EDS- end diastolic volume
volume of blood in ventricles at the end of diastole
just BEFORE they contract
ESV- end systolic volume
volume of blood in ventricles at the end of systole
just AFTER contracting
End diastolic volume
what controls stroke volume
lesson 3.
- ANS
Sympathetic (flight or flight)
- release EPINEPHRINE or norepinephrine and bind to adrenergic receptors
- increase ca2+ permeability, with increase stroke volume and increase muscle contraction
Parasympathetic (rest and digest)
- slow down heart beat
- release acetylcholine, bind to muscarinic receptors
- ca2+ permeability decreases, with decrease stroke volume and decrease muscle contraction
2.PRELOAD on heart
- how much blood is in the heart before contracting
“load”- before - EDV “end diastolic volume”
the larger the load is the more stretch there is on ventricles, and therefore a larger contraction (bigger stroke volume occurs)
stroke volume
cardiac output
is during one systolic contraction
cardiac output-
during one minute of ventricular contractions
how does the SNS effects blood vessels
affects the SA node (pacemaker) and ventricular muscle
innervates blood vessels
- squeezes the viens,
which increases venous return, EDV, SV, co
what are fenestrations
-pore found within endothelial cells
- which allow movement of small molecules
fileration vs absorption
filtration- movement OUT of a capillary
absorption- movement IN to a capillary
what are the two circulatory systems
pulmonary- blood vessels only to and from the heart (15%)
systemic- cary blood to the rest of the body (85%)
- 70% of blood is found in the viens
what are the main functions of the nervous system
- transport oxygen and nutrients to the body
- removes carbon dioxide and waste products from the tissues
- regulate body temperature and ph - acidity of blood
- transports and distributes hormones and other substances throughout the body
what is the difference between contractile and conductive cells in the heart
contractile cells-
causing heart to beat and contract
conductive-
act like a neuron
establishes heart rate
communicates throughout different cells
what are myocardial cells composed of
- thick and thin filaments
- lots of mitochondria, heart always needs an abundance of ATP
- branched cells
intercalated discs:
- gap junctions , allow cells to communicate through ion channels, and proteins connexions
- desmosomes, anchor end of cardiac muscle, so cells can’t pull apart during contraction
contraction difference in nodel cell vs neuron action potential
neuron- RMP of -70
- action potential stimulated at -55
- four milliseconds
nodal cell- RMP- no stable resting membrane potential
- lowest is -60
-threshold is -40
- very kittle k+ leak, that is why doesn’t get as negative
- a lot slower 0.8 seconds
compare
skeletal muscle- myocardial cell- smooth muscle
what does an ECG measure
- sum of all electrical impulses in the heart
- fluids conduct electricity well
-recorded by surface electrodes
p- atrial depolarization
QRS- ventricular depolarization
T- ventricular depolarization
how does parasympathetic innervation effect heart rate
- Ach binds to MUSCANNIC receptor
- lows down
less na+/ ca 2+ into cell
more k+ leaving cell
rest and digest- to slow down heart rate
how does sympathetic innervation effect heart rate
- increase ca/na in cell
-decrease the k leaking out - want greater chance of action potential
- increase slope of action potential- reach action potential quicker
