CCV Flashcards
Atrial diastole
-Atrium relaxes and fills with blood via vena cava & pulmonary vein
-Weight of blood forces open AV valves
Atria systole
-Atrium contracts forcing remaining blood into the ventricles
-AV valves close to prevent backflow
Ventricular diastole
-Ventricles relax
-blood passively moves into ventricles
-Takes 0.5 seconds
Ventricular systole
-Ventricles contract
-Forces blood out through semi-luna valves
-Blood leaves the heart via the aorta and pulmonary artery
-Takes 0.3 seconds
Cardiac output

Sub=12L/min
Max=30L/min
Stroke volume
The volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle per minute.
Rest=70ml
Sub=120ml
Max=150ml
Heart rate
How many times the heart beats per minute.
Rest=70bpm
