Q

Why is there less pressure to right ventricle than left ventricle?

A

Because right ventricle only pumps blood to lungs, which is about the same level as the heart, while the left ventricle pumps blood throughout the entire body, and it takes more force to pump the blood over the heart to head and neck.

Electric events in the cardiac cycle can be recorded on an ________.

A

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

33
Q

The cardiac cycle begins with action potential at the _______.

A

SA node

34
Q

The entire heart contracts in series: first the ______, then the ________.

A

First the atria, then the ventricles.

35
Q

What are the 2 types of cardiac muscle cells?

A

Conducting system and contractile cells.

36
Q

What is the purpose of the conducting system?

A

Controls and coordinates heartbeat

37
Q

What is the purpose of contractile cells?

A

Produce contractions that propel blood.

38
Q

What is automaticity?

A

Cardiac muscle tissue contracts automatically without neural command.

39
Q

How is heart rate determined?

A

Determined by the number of electrical impulses generated by SA node.

40
Q

The SA node generates ______ action potentials per minute and AV node generates _______ action potentials per minute.

A

SA node = 80-100 action potentials per minute

AV node = 40-60 action potentials per minute

41
Q

What is the purpose of the purkinje fibers?

A

Distributes the electrical impulse throughout the heart. If you don’t have the purkinje fibers, signal doesn’t spread and remains at bottom of the heart.

42
Q

Abnormally slow heart rate is called ______

A

Bradycardia

43
Q

Action potentials are propagated by ________.

A

Intercalated discs

44
Q

A

Superior vena cava

Inferior vena cava

45
Q

The right atrioventricular(AV) valve is also called __________.

A

Tricuspid valve

46
Q

The left atrioventricular valve (AV) is also called _________.

A

Bicuspid valve

47
Q

In systemic circulation, blood leaves the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve into the _______

A

Ascending aorta.

Q

Sacs that prevent valve cusps from sticking to aorta are called ________

A

Aortic sinuses

50
Q

The coronary arteries originate at ________.

A

Coronary sinus

A

SA node

53
Q

Once an action potential reaches cardiac muscle cells, they contract. Which parts of the heart contact first?

A

The atria

54
Q

When action potential causes cardiac muscle cells to contract, the atria contract first, forcing blood to pass through the _______ into the ventricles.

A

Atrioventricular (AV) valves

P-R = From start of atrial depolarization to start if QRS complex.
Q-T = from start of ventricular depolarization to start of ventricular repolarization.
66
Q

Which cells account for roughly 99% of the muscle cells in the heart?

A

Contractile cells.

67
Q

During the conducting system, what distributes the stimulus to the contractile cells?

A

Purkinje fibers

Q

What is the resting potential of an atrial cell?

A

-80 mV

69

What is the resting potential of a ventricular cell?

A

About -90 mV

70
Q

What is the major difference between action potentials in cardiac muscle cells and skeletal muscle cells?

A

The plateau

71
Q

Cardiac muscles store oxygen in _______.

A

Myoglobin

72
Q

The energy for cardiac contractions comes from________.

A

Mitochondrial breakdown of fatty acids and glucose.

73
Q

The period between the start of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next is called ________.

A

Cardiac cycle.

74
Q

What are the phases of the cardiac cycle?

A

Systole (contraction), diastole(relaxation)

75
Q

What happens to blood pressure during the phases of the cardiac cycle?

A

Rises during systole

Falls during diastole

76
Q

The average cardiac cycle lasts about _______.

A

800 msec

77
Q

What happens to the cardiac cycle if heart rate increases?

A

All phases of the cardiac cycle shorten, particularly diastole.

78
Q

When are the AV valves open during the cardiac cycle?

A

During steps 1 and 2, atrial systole and atrial ejection of blood into ventricles.

79
Q

When do the AV valves close?

A

When atrial systole ends. They remain closed until step 8: atrial pressure is higher than ventricular pressure.
