Class 5 Flashcards
What comes first in signaling, electrical or mechanical?
Electrical
What are the two main events for a complete cardiac cycle?
- Ventricular systole (contraction)
- Ventricular diastole (relaxation)
What are the two events of ventricular systole?
a. Isovolumetric ventricular contraction
b. Ventricular ejection
What are the two main events of ventricular ejection?
i. Rapid ejection phase
ii. Reduced ejection phase
What are the two main events of ventricular diastole? 
a. Isovolumetric ventricular relaxation
b. Ventricular filling
What are the two events of ventricular filling?
i. Rapid filling phase
ii. Reduced filling phase
What is the volume of preload?
Blood volume in the ventricle during the end diastolic volume
Isovolumic ventricular contraction begin with the close of what?
AV valve
What generates the first heart sound?
Closing of the AV valve, isovolumetric ventricular contraction
Ventricular ejection begins with the opening of what?
Semi lunar valve, AV valves are closed
There is a sharp increase in the ventricular and aortic pressure in what phase of the cardiac cycle?
Ventricular ejection, rapid ejection face
There is a sudden drop of left atrial pressure in what phase and why?
Ventricular ejection phase, mitral valve is closed
The rapid ejection phase is followed by what?
Reduced ejection phase
The reduced ejection face is associated with which wave?
T-wave
Ventricular volume at the end of ejection phase is known as what?
End systolic volume
Peak of the left ventricular pressure coincides with what?
Arterial systolic pressure
Do you ever expel all of the blood out of your heart?
No
Blood volume in the ventricle during isovolumetric ventricular relaxation is known as what?
End systolic volume
Isovolumetric ventricular relaxation begins with what?
Semilunar (aortic) valve closure
