Exam 3 Flashcards
cardiac muscle
both extracellular and intracellular ca2+ like skeletal muscle
need ATP to pump ca2+ back out (low conc->high conc
T-tubule structure is diff
ca2+ more extracellular, so moves in via L-type ca2+ channels
longer refractory period (no tetnus)
pacemaker potential is 60 mV (Na+ in via If channels; does not depend on ca2+ so AP is all or nothing)
3 basic components of cardiovascular system
heart=pump
blood vessles=tubes
blood=fluid
SA node
regulation of HR
intercalated disks w/ gap junctions
transmits electrical and chemical signals and generates force
order of electrical signal
SA node->AV node->AV bundle->purkinje fibers
p wave
atrial depolarization
QRS complex
ventricular depolarization
T wave
ventricular repolarization
R
signal goes to purkinje fibers and depolarizagion occurs
EKG
helps determine if there are abnormal signals in the heart
third degree block
no T waves
A-fib
no P or T waves
ventricular fibrilation
no normal waves
chordinae tendinae
anchor valves and help them open and close
high to low BP
aorta
arteries
aterioles
capillaries
venules
veins
vena cava
smaller radius
higher resistance
less flow
larger radius
less resistance
higher flow
systole
contraction
diastole
relaxation
more narrow vessle
faster velocity of flow
frank-starling law
can accomodate stretch and generate force (exercise)
heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
diastolic dysfunction
EF>50%
hypertension, lung congestion, exercise intolerance, muscle weakness, A-fib, renal dysfunction
SGLT2 (antidiabetic= reduced glucose levels)
hypertrophy
building up muscle
precapilary spincter
close off to prevent BF
valves
prevent backflow of blood in veins
skeletal muscle pump
when skeletal muscles compress in veins they force blood towards the heart
pulse pressure
systolic pressure-diastolic pressure
MAP
diastolic pressure + 1/3 (pulse pressure)
proportional to CO and resistance
increased resistance
increased MAP
decreased CO
decreased BV and MAP
CO
HR * SV
decreased venous BV
increased arterial BV
