Q

entierity of CV system circulations

A
  1. right atrium passes deoxygenated blood from head and neck region forcing valve to open entering into right ventricle
  2. right ventricle contracts, pulmonary semilunar valve opens sending deoxygenated blood to each lung where gas exchange occurs
  3. oxygenated blood returns through pulmonary veins into left atrium which contracts causing left AV valve to open and send blood into ventricle
  4. ventricle contracts sending blood to aortic semilunar valve and through to systemic cells and tissues in the body where more gas exchange occurs causing blood to become deoxygenated again and heads back to right atrium

  3. repolarization
    - fast voltage gated Ca2+ channels close. voltage gated K+ channels open allowing K+ outflow. MP returns to RMP -60mV and K+ channels close

Q

initiation and spread of action potential through cardiac conduction system

A
  1. action potential is generated at SA node. it spreads via gap junctions between cardiac muscle cells throughout the atria to the AV node
  2. action potential is delayed at AV node before it passes to the AV bundle within the interventricular septum
  3. the AV bundle conducts the action potential to the left and right bundle branches and then to the purkinje fibers
  4. the action potential is spread via gap junctions between cardiac muscle cells throughout the ventricles

Q

steps of electrical events of cardiac muscle cells

A
  1. depolarization: fast voltage gated Na+ channels open and Na+ rapidly enters the cell, reversing the polarity from negative to positive (-90mV to +30mV). these channels then close.
  2. plateau: voltage gated K+ channels open and K+ flows out of cardiac muscle cells. Slow voltage gated Ca2+ channels open and Ca2+ enters the cell with no electrical change and the depolarized state is maintained
  3. repolarization: voltage gated Ca2+ channels close, voltage gated K+ channels remain open and K+ moves out of the cardiac muscle cell, and polarity is reversed from positive to negative (+30mV - -90mV)

Q

autonomic reflexes for blood pressure

A

are baroreceptor reflexes initiated by decrease or increase in blood pressure

150
Q

vessel stretch declines and baroreceptor firing rate DECREASES
this activates the cardioacceleratory center to stimulate the sympathetic pathways to increase cardiac output

activates the vasomotor center to stimulate sympathetic pathways to increase vasoconstriction; parasympathetic stimulation inhibited
the increase in cardiac output and resistance raises blood pressure

151
Q

if blood pressure increases

vessel stretch and baroreceptor firing rate increase
causes the cardioacceleratory center to send fewer signals along sympathetic pathways
