Ch.7 Flashcards
3 major circulatory elements
- Pump (heart)
- Channels or tubes (blood vessels)
- A fluid medium (blood)
Blood flow must meet __ demands
Metabolic
What does heart generate to drive blood through vessels?
Pressure
6 major functions of Cardiovascular System (DRTTAI)
• Delivers O2, nutrients
• Removes CO2, other waste
• Transports hormones, other molecules
• Temperature balance and fluid regulation
• Acid–base balance
• Immune function
What side of the heart is pulmonary circulation?
Right side
What blood does the right side of the heart pump from body to lungs?
Deoxygenated
What blood does the left side of the heart pump from body to lungs?
Oxygenated
What side of the heart deals with systemic circulation?
Left side
Term for cardiac muscle
Myocardium
What are the characteristics of Left ventricle (MTLB)
-Must pump blood to entire body
-Thickest wall(hypertrophy)
-LV hypertrophied with exercise and with disease
-But exercise adaptations be disease adaptations very different
Myocardium: ___ __ artery supplies right side of heart
Coronary
Myocardium: ___ __ artery supplies left side of heart
Left(main) coronary
Coronary artery disease
Atherosclerosis
Large, long up branched multinucleated muscle cell
Skeletal muscle cells
Muscle cell that has intermittent, voluntary contractions
Skeletal muscle cells
Muscle cell with Ca2+ released from SR
Skeletal muscle cell
Small, short, branched, one nucleus cell
Myocardial cells
Muscle cell with continuous, involuntary rhythmic contractions
Myocardial cells
Muscle cell with calcium-induced calcium release
Myocardial cell
Calcium induced calcium release:
1. __ spreads along Sarcolemma down _-__
AP
T-tubules
Calcium induced calcium release:
2. __ receptors in T-tubule are __ and __
DHP (special Ca channel)
Stimulated and open
Calcium induced calcium release:
3. Extracellular ___ to enter __ but insufficient to cause __
Ca2+
Cell
Contraction
Calcium induced calcium release:
4. Instead, triggers __ receptors on SR to release __
Ryanodine (another special Ca2+ channel)
Ca2+
How many fiber types in myocardial cell?
One
Characteristics of Myocardial fiber type
-High capillary density
-High number of mitochondria
-Striated
Cardiac muscle fibers connected by regions called __ __
Intercalated discs
Intercalated discs: hold cells together
Desmosomes
Intercalated discs: rapidly conduct action potentials
Gap junctions
Cardiac muscle ability to generate own electri l signal
Spontaneous rhythmicity
TF: Spontaneous rhythmicity allows contraction with external stimulation
False
Without
Electrical impulse:
__ atrium to ___
Right
Throughout the entire heart
Starting point of spontaneous rhythmicity
Sinoatrial node (SA node)
Fastest intrinsic firing rate
About 100 bpm
Pathway of Spontaneous rhythmicity
-SA node
-AV node
-AV bundle (bundle of His)
-Purkinje fibers
SpR: initiates contraction signal and is pacemaker cell in upper RA wall
SA Node
Sinoatrial node stimulates __,__ contraction
Right Atrium
Left Atrium
SpR: delays, relays signal to ventricles in RA wall near center of heart
AV node
Atrioventricular node relays signal to __ __ after delay
Atrioventricular bundle
AV node delay allows , to contract before ,
RA, LA
RV,LV
AV bundle relays signal to , and travels along __ __
RV,LV
Interventricular septum
AV bundle divides into … and … bundle branches
Right and left
AV bundle sends signal toward … of heart
Apex
… … sends signals into RV, LV and spreads throughout entire ventricle wall
Purkinje fibers
Terminal branches of right and left bundle branches
Purkinje fibers
Purkinje fibers stimulate …,… contraction
RV, LV
