no resting period for the heart because pressure is staying consistent the entire time

57
Q

mean arterial pressure (MAP)

A

average pressure in the arteries during cardiac cycle AT REST

58
Q

MAP equation

A

MAP = DBP + (0.33)(SBP-DBP)

59
Q

what does contraction of the heart depend on

A

electrical stimulation of the myocardium

60
Q

describe heart contraction

A

automatic contraction

61
Q

describe skeletal muscle contraction

62
Q

sinoatrial node (SA node)

A

-pacemaker
-initiates depolarization

63
Q

atrioventricular node (AV node)

A

-passes depolarization to ventricles
-brief delay (called AV delay) to allow for ventricular filling (blood transfer from atria to ventricle)

64
Q

why does AV delay occur

A

so that atria + ventricles do not contract at same time
-if they were stimulated at the same time, no blood would move

65
Q

bundle branches extend from

A

AV node

66
Q

bundle branches

A

connect atria to L + R ventricle
-splits into 2 so the wave of depolarization can affect L + R side of heart

67
Q

purkinje fibers

A

spread depolarization throughout ventricles

68
Q

4 steps of conduction system of the heart

A
  1. APs originate in the SA node (the pacemaker) + travel across the wall of the atrium from the SA node to the AV node
  2. APs pass through the AV node + along the AV bundle, which extends from the AV node, through the fibrous skeleton, into the interventricular septum
  3. the AV bundle divides into R + L bundle branches, + APs descend to the apex of each ventricle along the bundle branches
  4. APs are carreid by the purkinje fibers from the bundle branches to the ventricular walls
69
Q

regulation of HR

A

a mix/coordination between parasympathetic + sympathetic nervous system

70
Q

parasympathetic nervous system regulates HR via what

A

vagus nerve

71
Q

how does parasympathetic nervous system regulate HR

A

-slows HR by inhibiting SA + AV node
-decrease in parasympathetic tone = increase in HR (typically causes rise in HR up to 100 bpm)

72
Q

sympathetic nervous system regulates HR via what

A

cardiac accelerator nerves

73
Q

how does sympathetic nervous system regulate HR

A

increases HR by stimulating SA + AV node (typically causes rise in HR BEYOND 100 bpm)

74
Q

there is a decrease/increase in HR at onset of exercise

A

increase

75
Q

describe increase in HR at onset of exercise

A

-INITIAL increase (at onset) is due to parasympathetic withdrawal
-LATER increase (a few seconds later) is due to increased sympathetic stimulation

76
Q

**see diagram on slide 16

A
77
Q

what happens when parasympathetic nerve is stimulated

A

-causes release of ACh in little junctions
-ACh then binds to receptors on SA node, which will inhibit HR

-when you need HR to go down, that is when parasympathetic kicks in

78
Q

what happens when sympathetic nerve is stimulated

A

-also goes to SA node
-when cardiac accelerator nerves are stimulated, they release norepinephrine into gap
-stimulatory, will increase HR

101
Q

how does venoconstriction increase venous return

A

increased pressure in veins

102
Q

how does skeletal muscle pump increase venous return

A

-rhythmic skeletal muscle contractions force blood in the veins toward the heart
-one-way valves in veins prevent backflow of blood

103
Q

how does respiratory pump increase venous return

A

changes in thoracic pressure pull blood toward heart

104
Q

stroke volume is dependent on what 3 factors

A

-EDV
-MAP

133
Q

how does exercise reduce the amount of myocardial damage from heart attack

A

-improvements in heart’s antioxidant capacity (ability to remove free radicals, repair tissue damage, etc.)

134
Q

when tissues are more sensitive to ATP, what does this mean

A

they require LESS ATP
