Chapter 19 - The Heart1 Flashcards
The cardiac cycle
Changes with in the heart from one heartbeat to the next
Contractor cardiac muscles
- Sarcolemma of a contract out cardiac muscle cell possess
RMP: -90mV - Action potential (initiated in the conduction system) will sweep through the cells causing depolarization
-90-> +30mV - Ca2+ Will enter sarcoplasm > find to troponin> shift tropmyosin> opening myosin binding sites> cross Bridge formation> Power stroke
Systole
Contraction of a heart chamber
Diastole
Relaxation of the heart chamber
Pressure changes in
contraction and
relaxation
Increase
Decrease
Pressure changes in the heart chambers are responsible for
1 movement of blood through chambers (from high to low blood will go) MAKES THINGS MOVE
2 opening of heart valves (ensures blood movement in forward direction)
PREVENT BACKFLOW
The exact order of events in the cardiac flow insures
Unidirectional flow of blood through the heart
Atrial systole
Atrial contraction forces additional blood to relaxed ventricles
Ventricular systole
(Contracting)
Ventricular contraction create P that:
a. shuts down the AV valves
B. opens SL valves and blood is ejected
Ventricular diastole
A. SL valves close
B. AV valves open and blood fills ventricles
End diastolic volume (EDV)
Volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of the filling
End systolic volume (ESV)
Volume of blood remaining in the ventricles after contraction
Stroke volume (SV)
Volume of blood ejected it with each heartbeat (SV=EDV-ESV)
Cardiac output (CO)
The amount of blood pumped by a single ventricle in one minute
Output is determined by:
Heart rate
Stroke volume
