*****************************
what is the contractile elemement of the myocyte?
- sacromere (actin and myocin filaments)
A sarcomere (Greek sárx = “flesh”, méros = “part”) is the basic unit of a muscle. Muscles are composed of tubular muscle cells (myocytes or myofibers). Muscle cells are composed of tubular myofibrils. Myofibrils are composed of repeating sections of sarcomeres, which appear under the microscope as dark and light bands. Sarcomeres are composed of long, fibrous proteins that slide past each other when the muscles contract and relax.
Two of the important proteins are myosin, which forms the thick filament, and actin, which forms the thin filament. Myosin has a long, fibrous tail and a globular head, which binds to actin. The myosin head also binds to ATP, which is the source of energy for muscle movement. Myosin can only bind to actin when the binding sites on actin are exposed by calcium ions
****************************
Sacromeres are integrated by what?
- intercalated disk and gap junctions
intercalcated disk are microscopic identifying features of cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle consists of individual heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) connected by intercalated discs to work as a single functional organ or syncitium. By contrast, skeletal muscle consists of multinucleated muscle fibers and exhibit no intercalated discs. Intercalated discs support synchronised contraction of cardiac tissue. They occur at the Z line of the sarcomere and can be visualized easily when observing a longitudinal section of the tissue.
Three types of adhering junctions make up an intercalated disc — fascia adherens, macula adherens and gap junctions.
Fascia adherens are anchoring sites for actin, and connect to the closest sarcomere.
Macula adherens stop separation during contraction by binding intermediate filaments, joining the cells together. Macula adherens junctions are also called desmosomes.
Gap junctions allow action potentials to spread between cardiac cells by permitting the passage of ions between cells, producing depolarization of the heart muscle

what is the pressure applied to fill the heart and is represented by the “passive” pressure- volume curve
preload
clinically preload is measured by what?

LVEDP
typical values for LVEDP is what

a sudden increase in filling pressures. (preload) will cause what? 3 main things
- increased LVEDP
- increased heart contraction force ( do to the enhanced thick and thin filament overlap, it contracts to the same ESV- starling law)
- increased SV, CO, PA
what is the pressure in the aorta throughout the ejection phase? it is an estimate if arterial pressure
afterload
a sudden increase in mean arterial pressure (afterload) causes what 3 things to happen
- pressure in the ventricle must rise to a higher level during the isovolumetric contraction phase before the aortic valve will open
- ejected volume goes down
- SV and CO woll decrease
a sustained increase in the mean arterial pressure (afterload) is caused by what?
- the increased ESV plus normal venous return that leads to increased EDV
- the increased EDV makes the heart contract more forcefully (starlings law)
- causing increased SV, CO, PA
altered contractile force is due to the change in the rate or quality of __1__ delivered to the myofilaments, or a change in the affinity or the filaments to __2__.
- Ca++

******************

- the heart to contract more forcefully during EJECTION phase, leading to decreased ESV and increased SV
what are the effects of a sustained increase in contractility?
- reduced ESV plus normal venous return = reduced EDV
- heart contracts less forcefully dur to EDV
- pressure voume curve shifted to left
*******************
explain the cardiac cycle and pressure loops
- ISOVOLUMETRIC RELAXATION (diastole) causes pressure to decreases
- as passive VENTRICULAR FILLING (diastole) occurs, and volume begins to increase
- as ATRIAL KICK finishes and volume is maxed pressure increases during ISOVOLUMETRIC CONTRACTION (systole)
- followed by rapid EJECTION (systole) as pressure continues to increase very slightly and volume decreases greatly
- this leads into REDUCED EJECTION thus lowering pressures and volume and starting cycle over again with ISOVOLUMETRIC RELAXATION
6.

better pic of the cardiac loops
**************
what occurs during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle
- isovolumic relaxation
- filling
- atrial kick
*********
what occurs during the systole phase of teh cardiac cycle?
- isovolumic contraction
- ejection
- rapid and reduced ejection
****************
so now that we learned all of the phases of the cardiac cycle match them up with what is going on in the heart
1st draw a pic then explain it
- during isovolumetric relaxation (diastole)– constant radius (all valves are closed) decreased pressure and tension
- during passive filling AV valves open allowing VENTRICULAR FILLING (diastole) causinga constant pressure with increased radius and tension,
- after ATRIAL KICK all valves are closed
- constant radius increased pressure and tension. during ISOVOLUMETRIC CONTRACTION (systole)
- then Semilunar valvees open during rapid ejection
- and EJECTION (systole) occurs with constant tension decreased radius and increased pressure
- followed by reduced ejection and all valves closed.
-during each phase (or side of the loop) there must be a radius, pressure, and tension.
– the ones ont the right and left have same radius (isovolumetric) (they are not gaining any volume. the left is diastolic loses pressure and tension, the right is the systolic it is gaining pressure and thus tension
- the bottom is straigt filling (diastolic) so a constant pressure. ( no flunctuations) but the radius gets bigger (from more fluids) and thus the tension gets larger.
– the top or ejection is not a constant pressure b/c it has rapid and slowed ejection. but tension is always the same )constant b/c it is one big squeeze. so during ejection we are losing volume so radius decreases, and we are forcing the blood out fast so pressure is increased.
– when all valves are closed the radius is constant (can only fill whats there.
this is bringing it all together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
