Ca2+ induced Ca2+ release

A

Ca+2 flows into the cell from the ECF and stimulates opening of ryanodine receptor channels in the SR causing flow of Ca+2 out of the SR, creating Ca+2 sparks.

142
Q

electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)

A

The EKG is a composite of action potentials produced by all the heart muscle fibers during each heartbeat

143
Q

P wave

A

= Atrial depolarization, which is spread of AP over atria

144
Q

QRS complex

A

=Ventricular depolarization, which is the spread of AP over the ventricles (Atrial repolarization is hidden within the large QRS complex. )

145
Q

T wave

A

=Ventricular repolarization,which occurs just before ventricles start to relax.

146
Q

hemodynamics

A

are the principles that describe the movement of blood in the circulatory system.

147
Q

resistance

A

primarily due to the friction between flowing blood and the walls of blood vessels (influenced by; Length of the tube (l), Viscosity of the fluid (n), & Radius of the tube (r)

148
Q

laminar flow

A

When blood flows in a long smooth vessel it streamlines into layers with the contents of each layer staying the same distance from the vessel wall.

149
Q

velocity of flow

A

is the distance that a fixed volume of blood travels in a given period of time (cm/sec or cm/min) v=Q/A

150
Q

mean arterial pressure

A

is blood pressurein thelarge arteries averaged over time

151
Q

diastolic blood pressure

A

When turbulence subsides (Korotkoff sounds no longer heard) ( when ventricles relax)

152
Q

systolic blood pressure

A

turbulent blood flow is heard when cuff pressure falls below the maximum

153
Q

Sphygmomanometer

A

Used to measure blood pressure

154
Q

Total peripheral resistance (TPR)

A

= Rarteries+ Rarterioles+ Rcapillaries+ Rvenules+ Rveins

155
Q

cardiac output (CO)

A

The amount of blood ejected by the left (or right) ventricle into the aorta (or pulmonary trunk) per minute.

156
Q

Stroke volume (SV)

A

(volume per beat) ×Heart Rate (HR; beats/min)

157
Q

heart rate (HR)

A

beats/min

158
Q

Frank-Starling law

A

The volume of blood ejected by the ventricle (SV) depends on the volume present in the ventricle at the end of ventricular diastole

159
Q

End diastolic volume (EDV)

A

Same as the Frank-Starling Law

160
Q

Preload

A

same as end diastolic volume and Frank-Starling law

161
Q

skeletal muscle pumping (milking)

A

Contraction of skeletal muscles pumps blood in the veins back to the heart. Valves in the veins keep the blood moving toward the heart.

162
Q

Respiratory pump

A

caused by movements of the diaphragm during breathing.

163
Q

Cardiovascular center (CVC)

A

ANS control of CO comes primarily from here (CVC) located in medulla oblongata (and pons) of the brainstem.

164
Q

Cardiac accelerator nerves

A

Sympathetic neurons extend from the CVC down the spinal cord and emerge out of sympathetic trunk ganglia) as the cardiac accelerator nerves that innervate the SA and AV nodes, and most portions of the ventricular myocardium

165
Q

baroreceptors

A

pressure receptors in the aorta and carotid arteries

166
Q

chemoreceptors

A

in the aorta and carotid arteries monitor chemical changes in blood (pH, CO2, O2) and under certain conditions can initiate neural reflex pathways that control HR
