Ex phys chapter 6 Flashcards
The Major functions of the ____ system are
- Delivers O2, nutrients
- Removes CO2, other waste
- Transports hormones, other molecules
- Temperature balance and fluid regulation
- Acid–base balance
- Immune function
Cardiovascular system
Name the 3 major circulatory system elements in the body
- Heart (the pump)
- Blood vessels (tubes and channels)
- Blood (fluid medium)
The heart Generates pressure to
drive blood through vessels
Blood flow must meet
metabolic demands
The 4 chambers of the heart are
- Right and left atria (RA, LA): top, receiving chambers
- Right and left ventricles (RV, LV): bottom, pumping chambers
the membrane enclosing the heart, consisting of an outer fibrous layer and an inner double layer of serous membrane is the
pericardium
The _________ is the potential space formed between the two layers of serous pericardium around the heart. Normally, it contains a small amount of serous fluid that acts to reduce surface tension and lubricate.
pericardial cavity
______is the serous fluid secreted by the serous layer of the pericardium into the pericardial cavity
Pericardial fluid
Which half of the heart carries out the following tasks:
- Pumps deoxygenated blood from body to lungs
- Superior, inferior vena cava → RA → tricuspid valve → RV → pulmonary valve → pulmonary arteries → lungs
Right Heart: pulmonary circulation
Which half of the heart carries out the following tasks?
- Pumps oxygenated blood from lungs to body
- Lungs → pulmonary veins → LA → mitral valve → LV → aortic valve → aorta
Left Heart: systemic circulation
What is cardiac muscle called?
Myocardium
_____ has most myocardium
Left Ventricle
_____ -Must pump blood to entire body
- Thickest walls (hypertrophy)
- ____ hypertrophies with exercise and with disease
- But exercise adaptations versus disease adaptations very different
left ventricle
Myocardium is only 1 type fo muscle fiber and it’s similar to type ____
1
_______ is
- High capillary density
- High number of mitochondria
- Striated
Myocardium
_________ hold cells together
desmosomes
_______ rapidly conduct action potentials
Gap junctions
________ ________ cells
- Large, long, unbranched, multinucleated
- Intermittent, voluntary contractions
- Ca2+ released from SR
Skeletal muscle
_____ cells
- Small, short, branched, one nucleus
- Continuous, involuntary rhythmic contractions
- Calcium-induced calcium release
Myocardial
Right coronary artery
- Supplies ________
- Divides into _______ & ______
- right side of heart
- marginal, posterior inter-ventricular
Left (main) coronary artery
- Supplies ________
- Divides into _____ & _______
- left side of heart
- circumflex, anterior descending
Atherosclerosis →
coronary artery disease
___ ___ is when special heart cells generate and spread electrical signal
Spontaneous rhythmicity:
The following all help carry out:
- Sinoatrial (SA) node
- Atrioventricular (AV) node
- AV bundle (bundle of His)
- Purkinje fibers
Spontaneous rhythmicity
Electrical signal spreads via
gap junctions
The Intrinsic heart rate (HR): is
100 beats/min
____ : initiates contraction signal
- Pacemaker cells in upper posterior RA wall
- Signal spreads from SA node via RA/LA to AV node
- Stimulates RA, LA contraction
SA node
_____ : delays, relays signal to ventricles
- In RA wall near center of heart
- Delay allows RA, LA to contract before RV, LV
- Relays signal to AV bundle after delay
AV node
______ : relays signal to RV, LV
- Travels along inter ventricular septum
- Divides into right and left bundle branches
- Sends signal toward apex of heart
AV bundle
_____ : send signal into RV, LV
- Terminal branches of right and left bundle branches
- Spread throughout entire ventricle wall
- Stimulate RV, LV contraction
Purkinje fibers:
when the Heart initiates its own electrical impulses:
intrinsic control
HR and force of contraction altered by extrinsic systems:
Parasympathetic nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system
Endocrine system (hormones)
Parasympathetic Nervous System Originated from the ____ and reaches heart via
brain stem
vagus nerve
vagus nerve is also known as the
(cranial nerve X)
Parasympathetic Nervous System carries impulses to the ___ & ___ nodes
SA, AV
When Parasympathetic Nervous System carries impulses to the SA & AV nodes:
- Releases ________, hyperpolarizes cells, slows spontaneous depolarization
- Decreases ___ & force of contraction
acetylcholine, Heart rate
parasympathetic nervous system decreases HR below intrinsic HR.
- Intrinsic HR: ___ beats/min
- Normal resting HR (RHR): ___ to __beats/min
- Elite endurance athlete: ___beats/min
- 100
- 60-80
- 35
the sympathetic nervous system has opposite affects of the
parasympathetic system
When the sympathetic Nervous system Carries impulses to SA, AV nodes:
- Releases ______, facilitates depolarization
- Increases __, force of contraction
- Endocrine system can have similar effect (epinephrine, norepinephrine)
- norepinephrine
- HR
when the sympathetic nervous system Increases HR above intrinsic HR:
Determines ___ during physical, emotional stress
Maximum possible HR: ___beats/min
- HR
- 250
Electrocardiogram is a recording of
hearts electrical activity
electrocardiogram is a Diagnostic tool for
coronary artery disease
What are the 3 phases of electrical activity?
- P wave: atrial depolarization
- QRS complex: ventricular depolarization
- T wave: ventricular repolarization
___ is the All mechanical and electrical events that occur during one heartbeat
Cardiac Cycle
relaxation phase of heart:
